In 2005, Moser & Cie underwent a formal relaunch, emerging as an independent manufacturer. The brand has since gained recognition for its striking and distinctive fumé dials, coupled with a forward-thinking approach to watchmaking, which encompasses a fully in-house production.
The Endeavour Perpetual, initially introduced as the Perpetual 1 in 2005, marked H. Moser's first timepiece upon its relaunch. It garnered immediate acclaim, securing the 2006 GPHG award in the complication category. At first glance, it presents as a simple watch featuring only a date and power reserve indication on the dial. However, it conceals a perpetual calendar within its elegant design. Rather than inundating the dial with windows, this perpetual calendar employs a small central hand and the 12 indices to represent each month. The date finds its place at 3 o'clock, the small seconds at 6 o'clock, and the power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock.
Flipping the watch over reveals the exquisite manual winding HMC 800 caliber. A closer examination unveils the leap year indicator on a petite star wheel within the movement. With its understated yet refined aesthetic, the reference 1800-0202 showcases Moser & Cie's signature cosmic green hue, complete with a graduated fumé finish. Created as a limited edition of 50 pieces, we are proud to offer this lot in overall very good condition and complete with its original accessories.
