[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Independent watchmakers have always had a special place in my heart. from Greubel Forsey to F.P. Journe I admire their craftsmanship and unorthodox way of watchmaking. When speaking of unorthodox watches, H. Moser & Cie makes some of the crazies watches, the Swiss cheese watch, and in more recent years the Swiss Icons Watch. Besides those crazy pieces, we sometimes forget H. Moser & Cie make some impeccable watches with their signature fume dials.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row background=”#0a0a0a” full_width=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”902″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]To honor their 15th anniversary they teamed up with another mayor Independent watchmaker MB&F. to create a magical blend between both technical and aesthetic elements from both of these manufactures. The collaboration revolves around 2 different models, the brand’s interpretation of the MB&F FlyingT called the H. Moser x MB&F Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon. And from MB&F, we have a “Moserized” take on the LM101.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]

MB&F x Moser LM101

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]If you know MB&F the LM101 is a familiar face. with the suspended balance and the signature, Moser’s fume dial brings a perfect balance in detail and from a design perspective. The case measures a 40mm and 16mm thick with the MB&F domed crystal.

 

Production of the MB&F x H. Moser LM101 is slated for 60 examples divided into 15 pieces in four colours including funky blue, cosmic green, red, and aqua blue (this last one being a special edition for retailer Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”900″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]

H. Moser x MB&F Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon

Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon is not a watch to wear on the daily with a sized up case of 42mm (the FlyingT is 38.5) and measures 19.5mm thick thanks to that hugely domed sapphire crystal. The watch is available in 5 different dial configurations, funky blue, burgundy, cosmic green, off-white, and ice blue – each limited to 15 pieces. Same as the LM101 the Endeavour is also featured with the iconic fume dial. What this watch emidiatly makes it stand out is the way the time is shown on the watch. A floating sapphire dial that is inclined 40 degrees, to offer a view only to the wearer. 

The movement is called the HMC 810 and is an automatic manufacture movement from H. Moser that offers 72 hours of power reserve and employs a cylindrical hairspring.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row background=”#0a0a0a” full_width=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”899″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”898″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Pricing starts at $52,000 for the MB&F x H.
