With its pure lines, curved hands, crystal and dial, and an offset small seconds, the Venturer collection has a unique DNA and an individual identity. Inspired by the convex shapes typical of the 1960s and the design of historic pocket watches by H. Moser & Cie., this collection launched in 2014 has become one of the brand's flagship models. The Schaffhausen-based manufacture is introducing an XL model which retains the proportions of the original Venturer Small Seconds; made from white gold, this new model is paired with a sky-blue fumé dial and a kudu raw leather strap. This is a young and punchy version, a reminder that H. Moser & Cie. is both sexy and innovative.
TIME TO GROW: VENTURER SMALL SECONDS FROM H. MOSER & CIE. GOES LARGE
H. Moser & Cie. loves to play with contrasts. To a timepiece which draws its inspiration from the company's historic models and features an exquisitely vintage design, the manufacture has added a modern, electric blue dial and a sturdy, rugged leather strap, typical of a watch built for adventure. The result of this marriage is a timepiece with a powerful and timeless appeal, with a mechanical heart created in keeping with haute horlogerie tradition.
The refined, elegant bezel offers a clear view of the curved dial, accentuating its colour along with the baton indices and tapered leaf-shaped hands, which are key features of H. Moser & Cie.'s identity. The dial's sunburst pattern brings an exceptional depth to the fumé effect, highlighted by its electric blue colour.
Powered by the in-house, hand-wound HMC 327 calibre, the Venturer Small Seconds XL Funky Blue features a minimum 3-day power reserve. This marvellous mechanism is designed to seduce the most exacting customers, for whom quality and tradition go hand-in-hand with modernity and design.
