My next step
to consolidate my collection and raise the quality and joy.
My Moser Purity Perpetual in WG with black/dark blue fume dial. 42 mm. Perfect fit due to the curved shape of the case and the lugs. 7 days PR and a very reduced appearance.
What a watch!!
3 watches had to go (2 Panerais and 1 Longines) which couldn’t withstand my evolved taste).
So one next step from quantity to substance. My bank safe empties gradually which feels good.
Less is more!!!
And so I start to get closer to a status where I own just watches I really love and will never let go again.
All the best to you, dear watchfriends

Congrats and brave move .
This Moser is a great and beautiful watch . I wish i could consolidate my collection . Will do so in the future but can’t part from them yet
True. It is not always easy for a collector to separate from his watches.
After all we have bought/acquired these pieces some time ago for good reasons. What helps me: when I don‘t wear a watch for many months. And when I put it on just because of bad conscience I don‘t feel real joy and often miss another watch. That - for me ...
I totally understand your point,
My policy is the same for a watch , when i strap it on the wrist and look at the watch and it doesn’t bring a smile on my face anymore then its time to let it go . But for now i have a lot of ,,grail,, watches in my collection who all bring a huge smile o...
Then you are definitely a lucky man and
perhaps you shouldn’t consolidate? How large is your collection of „grail watches“ if I may ask?
My collection is aprox 40 watches but thats from A swatch till high end.
Still like them all . There are maybe a few i can let go but then again i know i will replace them for others that are on my wishlist 😬 i know , i am a watch addict 😫
Watch addicts...
.... yes, that’s what we are... My collection now is much smaller than 40. I have it reduced to 12 watches now. Best Thomas
Dear FabR, exactly!
I have to confess, that the 3 watches partly fund the new acquisition. I still had to pay a relevant amount... Best Thomas
There might be a point where
full personal satisfaction is reached, where you don‘t want anything more and are happy with what you have. I feel this point comes closer and closer. Best Thomas
Mine, too!
I have made quite a lot of research work. In my humble opinion this is one of the best PCs out there. Thank you ☺️ Best Thomas
My dealer said it is so pure
that quite a lot customers didn’t want to buy it in this price category. The reason: you don‘t see at a glance that it has its price and therefore it is too much under the radar. I love that! Best Thomas
Yes, therefore I appreciate this brand!
I bought a Moser Henry approximately 5 years ago. At this time I loved the complication (double hairspring) and design of this model but was worried if this independent watchmaker was able to produce robust, reliable watches. Indeed I had some small issue...
Dear Maltie,
this is to a large extent your merit!! I am so thankful for your hint where to find a brandnew, completely unworn Moser Perpetual Purity for an acceptable price. Just 50 pieces have been made. Worldwide. I also was aible to sell some of my watches to part...
Dear Thomas, thank you so much for your kind words, it was a pleasure to be helpful
And count on it that we will meet one day in Vienna. All the best my friend and enjoy the 29th in a few days.
I am looking forward to your visit, and
it would be a great pleasure to welcome you in Vienna! Best Thomas
You made a brave but excellent move imo
There was a time when I was accumulating (too) many watches without appreciating enough each of them. I was acquiring and selling too many too fast without enough thinking about where I want to go. And (very) slowly I became wiser and decided that less is...
„Choosing is renouncing“...
Very wise words, dear Mike! I would be very interested which are your grail watches? Yes, this Moser is really fascinating.... You know Edouard Meylan personally? I think he makes a great job! All the best for you and thank you very much for your kind wor...
Less is more and I think this understated Moser PC exhibits this virtue perfectly
I’ve slowly been undergoing a similar process with a few hobbies. Very beautiful PC. Congrats!
Very interesting, dear emcquillan!
That means this attitude is your life philosophy? Best Thomas
More of something I’m striving towards
And often unsuccessfully . But at least I’m aware of what I want... to unclutter my surroundings and my mind to focus on what is important.
Wow! The most discreet PC I know.
I wish I could be as consistent as you... Well done!
Thank you, jkvs!
It is not so difficult to be consistent if you recognize that the reward to wear a few watches you REALLY LOVE is much higher than to have a huge collection of luke warm pieces. Best Thomas
