More Moser & Cie photos from Baselworld
I have admired the work of Moser & Cie from afar (well, occasionally up close) ever since they first reappeared in 2005. Featuring horologically significant movements - designed entirely in-house, with an intriguing "interchangeable" escapement module whi...
Great Shots Tony !
Does this mean pre-2009 watches will be replaced with the double Straumann hairspring when the watches are sent back for servicing ?
Alas, no.
Furthermore, if you want a Monard or Mayu with the double hairspring, you must opt for the Fumé dial and palladium case - which increases the price. Cheers Tony P
Great Update.
Thanks for bringing us the Moser news from Basel - certainly fed my curiosity. I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Zimmerman (their marketing director) and seeing the perpetual last year and put a post on here at the time. The interesting news is that it...
Tony, many thanks for this wonderful post and accompanying photos.

Tony, thanks for the update, fantastic news that Moser finally starts delivering their FABULOUS Perpetual watch! You wrote: ""Basically, if it's got a Fumé dial, it's got a double Straumann spring escapement. All versions of the Henry also sport the doubl...
In fact I may have misread the press materials.
Here is the exact quote: "The time has come. All escapement modules from H. Moser & Cie will gradually be equipped only with the Straumann Hairspring. Starting with the new product for the 2007 exhibition, the "HENRY Double Hairspring" with a Strauman...
Definitive answer re: which escapement with which model
From Mr Daniel Zimmerman: "The entire Family "HENRY Double Hairspring" does feature the Straumann Double Hairspring Escapement Module and the following models as well: - Mayu Fumé (Palladium case, fumé dial) - Monard Fumé (Palladium case,fumé dial) - Henr...
Thank you Tony ...
I want a Perpetual in PT with white enamel dial and Straumann double hairspring escapement! Guess I have to wait :-D Edwin
Edwin, is custom order possible?
I ask because as of now, the PT comes with the very nice (to me dark grey dial. Can the Perpetual 1 be ordered in any combination of case material and dial color now?
I did ask for the enamel dial and double Straumann hairspring escapement ...
and they told me that an enamel dial is too dificult to make and there are no plans (yet?) to make a Perpetual with their new double hairspring escapement module But!!! Remember they already have sold at least 2 years worth of production with re. to the P...
I think you;re right about the Perpetual 1
Given that there are struggling to even fulfill back orders, I doubt they can (not becuase they can;t from a technical pov) cater to any customization.
Rubies vs Jewels
Hi Tony, Thank you for the clarification. And a quick question if you do not mind. Why does its say 27 Rubies(not Jewels) on the Mayu base plate ?
