The story · Since 1866
The H. Moser & Cie. story
- 1866 Back in Schaffhausen, Heinrich Moser built a dam across the Rhine between 1863 and 1866, largely with his own money; its turbines sent mechanical power to local factories by cable, and it ran until 1959.
- 1868 Moser helped the American F. A. Jones found the International Watch Company in Schaffhausen, providing premises and power for its machines.
- 1979 Hit by the quartz crisis, the Le Locle factory joined the Dixi-Mechanique group and traded as "Hy Moser & Cie.", dropping the original name until it was registered again in 2002.
- 2006 The Moser Perpetual 1 (calibre HMC 341), whose date jumps straight from the last day of a month to the 1st and whose month is shown by a small central hand, won the Complicated Watch Prize at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve.
- 2017 Protesting looser "Swiss Made" rules, Moser dropped the label from its dials and showed the one-off Swiss Mad Watch at SIHH 2017: a case of Vacherin Mont d'Or cheese bound in a composite, a Swiss cowhide strap and a price of CHF 1,081,291, after the 1 August 1291 federal charter.
- 2025 Pierre Gasly co-designed the Streamliner Tourbillon Pierre Gasly, launched 1 October 2025 for the Singapore Grand Prix: a 40 mm 5N red gold case, a flying tourbillon he asked for and a dial colour he named Chocolate fume; ref. 6805-0410 (100 pieces) and ref. 6805-0411 (10 pieces, ruby at ten o'clock for his number 10).
- 2026 Saquon Barkley got his own Moser in October 2026, the Pioneer Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Aventurine Saquon Barkley Edition (ref. 3811-1205): 97 pieces for his birth year, and the 2 and 6 glowing in a different colour for his number 26.
