Had a great time at Moser's Taipei event
I was invited to attend a dinner organized by H. Moser and a local AD last night. I've known some of the key "Moser guys" and had frequent exchange of ideas on social media, but meeting and chatting with them in person was just so much more fun! My seat w...
I like their watches, love Perp 1 but there are only two things that make me hesitate:
The watch is not very legible (Perp 1, Funky Blue and Black Edition that I tried on) due to reflection and the fact that the indices and hands blend in with the dial. I could only read the dial if I held the watch in a certain way. It is a personal choice...
Your concern over legibility on certain models
and the long term situation of the brand is totally understandable. Personally I am confident of Moser's future.
Step in the right direction
With the Venturer big date (lacquered white dial) and Bryan Ferry design, things are looking up for someone like me. I am waiting to see the Perp 1 in a similar design, then I don't think I can hold myself back.
I like those two as well.
The white lacquered Venturer looks really nice in the flesh, even beyond my expectation. The sunken seconds dial is a nice surprise, as I was not sure about it in the photos. The Bryan Ferry looks as good as in the photos. As a watch lover himself, Mr. Fe...
I like most of the Moser pieces. Perhaps one thing they could improve...
is the finishing level on their movements. If they could bring the level of their movement finishing to, say a VC or a Chopard L.U.C, that would be fantastic!
That could also mean a corresponding price increase, perhaps?
To my untrained eyes, the current movement finishing is about the same level as non-Geneva seal Chopard L.U.C.,which is pretty good but of course not topnotch.
Thanks for the report!
Seems like a nice, intimate event And definitely like the watches. Actually on some watches in the past I found the brand name just a tad too big, so the ones without visible branding on the dial are quite intriguing. So, did you return with more Mosers t...
The concept watches are quite well received in general.
The idea of strengthening the image without having the brand name seems to be a good try. More Moser watches? Not last night, not in the near future, but who knows?
These events..
are a great way to meet like minded people and also indulge in our passion for watches. I met Bertrand many years ago when he was working for AP in HK. A very likeable gentleman. Many times I have come close to pulling the trigger on a Moser but somehow i...
I agree with you on both points:
the very likable Bertrand, and the benefits of hosting similar events for any brands. I know there is a group of Moser watch owners in HK who organize annual meetings. I would love to join should there be an opportunity.
Great report! Thanks Luis =)
It's great to meet people that share the same interest, and of course the opportunity to play with new watches!
For some reasons, I used to be hesitant to attend such events.
So this was the first time for me. I think I will attend more in the future. ^_^
Hi Luis, nice "meeting" you...it's good to associate a face with a name.
How do you like such events and your 2 friends ) Thank you for sharing this, it's good to join and meet with enthusiasts. Rgds Raymond
Like me, it was also the first time that my two friends attended such an event.
They enjoyed it as much as I did. They were exciting to have the experience of handling the beautiful and well made watches from a brand unknown to them. They also liked the Moser people a lot, and were impressed by those young gentlemen's knowledge, enth...
Thanks for the great report Luis!
Looks like a fantastic evening and I am glad you enjoyed your time with Mr Melyan and fellow Moser lovers Many years ago I almost got a Moser Perpetual One but the lugs were a tad long for my small wrist. For very classical watches (non sporty ie not pilo...
Thanks Luis , im sure you had fun.
Those rubber strap mosers are water resistant can take it swimming? Cheers. Geross.
