H. Moser & Cie.
 
Founded at the turn of the 19th century by Heinrich Moser, “a young entrepreneur destined to forge his own path.” Moser was born in Schaffhausen into a family of watchmakers, he followed the footsteps of his family and learned the art of the watchmaking trade. Moser made his way to Saint Petersburg and became the go-to specialist for the aristocrats. By 1828, he founded H. Moser & Cie. building a factory and employed several hundred artisans in Switzerland. “It is estimated that he produced around 500,000 watches in his lifetime. These watches ranged from basic three-hand watches to grande complications.”

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men’s watches typically measure between 29-36mm wide (some larger, some smaller) excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women’s watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than today's offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.

We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust lighting when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.

The condition is pre-owned.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear but is fully operational and functions as intended.
Please review the photos and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

It will be carefully packed.
