[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.

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.

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.
