I inquired immediately after I read this and apparently
the Perpetual 1 has been held up again. 1 piece (case material not disclosed) was supposed to arrive in our shores for delivery this month. It apparently has not made it here yet and no duration has been commited on the duration.
While I have been eyeing (maybe craving
the Perpetual 1 for quite a while, I wonder if it is wise to get the first batch or perhaps best to wait (seeing that I have no choice anyways given the wait list and choice of platinum casing vis-a-vis the output rate from Moser) maybe for a year or 2 to let any mechanical issues get worked out. If they are having trouble getting ourders out at a higher level monthly, I think getting the watch serviced should anything go wrong will also prove a very very long wait.
Sorry for the OT.
Nice Mayu flamenco!

Fascinating history and some beautiful photos. I am especially fond of the back of the movement where the lines are not evenly spaced apart; staggered lines. Mostly intrigued by the interchangeable escapement module. The whole piece is replaceable is a cl...

....... U brought a very interesting point. The modular escapment was what tickled me in the first place. The escapement module is indeed replaced in its entirety when the watch is sent back for servicing. Moser will have pre-regulated ones in waiting, in...

........ and similar thoughts did occur to me. The shorter down time during servicing is much appreciated. And from a pragmatic point of view, gives me comfort that Moser upkeeps an inventory. Feels like u are getting a new watch everytime Guess its a com...

Florentine Ariosto Jones apparently rented his first factory premise in an industrial building owned by JH Moser. Energy was also provided by Moser since he also ran a hydroelectric station. This was in 1868. Not a big IWC fan therefore, am not too sure a...
