H. Moser & Cie. Watch Review

In early 2017, H. Moser & Cie. produced a buzz with only goal

To attract the interest of everyone on the possible lack of consistency from the “Swiss Made” point out that is printed on all of the supposedly “Swiss Made” watches. Indeed, a minimum of 60% of the need for the constituents inside a “Swiss Made” watch must be of Swiss origin to become considered qualified. This leaves a margin of 40% from the added worth of the timepiece that may result from elsewhere in the world, without losing the “Swiss Made” mention. To be able to point this problem and also to highlight the truth that Moser watches feature over 95% of components created in Europe, the company made the decision to get rid of “Swiss Made” all its production.

Second, Moser launched a distinctive piece named the Swiss Mad Watch, a kind of gimmick/mockery using its situation made from real Swiss Cheese and it is dial depicting the white-colored Swiss mix more than a vibrant red dial. The proceeds from the purchase of the items was probably the most Swiss Made watch ever (a minimum of they stated so… difficult to verify) were utilised to produce a fund to aid independent Swiss watchmaking suppliers presently suffering underneath the difficult economy.

This season, the concept is identical

Moser results in a speaking piece, a wrist watch that certainly doesn't have commercial interest, yet that's transporting a powerful message. However, the subject highlighted this season differs. Keep in mind that below is Moser’s position. For that brand, “Swiss mechanical watchmaking owes its durability and it is worldwide well known to the creativeness and skill to innovate. It could rebuild itself and confront complicated situations, like the great depression and also the quarta movement crisis, by pooling common strengths, spending so much time, remaining in keeping with its values, especially, remaining in keeping with the merchandise. At that time, little was stated but much ended.”

Again, for Moser, everything is different today (don't let say worse). “Today, there's an enormous chasm between your humbleness and tranquility from the watchmakers who create these watches and also the marketing that concentrates on glitz and glamour above their goods.” Moser points the possible lack of creativeness on most brands which use vintage-inspired pieces or known design codes, along with the utilization of ambassadors or influencers to produce hype, regarding them “Many brands, even historic ones, create and convey only substitute substance with artificial hype to remain relevant.” Will we entirely accept that here, at MONOCHROME? Most likely not. Yet, if Moser tends here to create just as much noise as you possibly can, they indeed point one existing publication of the luxury industry generally.

H. Moser & Cie. Watch Review

Moser has produced a wrist watch that you will find seen as an mockery or like a righter of wrongs. This watch isn't supposed to have been serious and needs to be considered having a certain feeling of humour as well as irreverence… the way it is admittedly (deliberately) ugly. This excellent piece revisits legendary watches from yesterday now, fusing their various characteristic signatures into a single watch. Its smart homage to individuals timepieces which have given Swiss watchmaking its status but additionally points a particular renunciation.
