H. Moser & Cie. - Venturer Small Seconds
The collection draws its inspiration from the second phase of Heinrich Moser's professional ventures in the Russian city of St. Petersburg. Established in 1828, H. Moser & Cie. soon attracted the patronage of the Imperial Court. Indeed, Moser quickly built his reputation and saw the watchmaking business that bore his name flourish and become a resounding commercial success.
The Venturer Collection is infused with design elements from traditional pocket watches but also with a mix of cues from the Bauhaus era of the 1920s and convex forms of the 1960s. This includes a larger bezel opening, revealing the restrained and elegant H. Moser signature fume dial. In keeping with the clean lines of the crystal, bezel and case, the dial surface has a convex profile and the hands follow this contour, according depth to their form and an attention to detail that grows on closer inspection.
The baton design and the curved edge of the swallow-shaped hands are long and slim. Refined lines are a key attribute to the design language of the new Venturer Collection.
Selected features are shared with the Endeavour Collection, such as the crown with the Moser "M" adorning its vertical flank. The curving lines of the satin brushed area embellish the case band, swooping downwards to convene beneath the crown.
The Venturer Small Seconds, the first model of the Venturer Collection, features a small seconds display deliberately positioned as close to the bottom of the dial as possible. This model is available in three different 18-carat red gold models, including an ardoise or a sensual argente dial, as well as the new signature dial in red gold fume.
A new movement revealed: the HMC 327 Small Seconds The Venturer Collection includes a new in-house manufacture movement for 2014, the Calibre HMC 327. This calibre is characterized by its traditional watchmaking finishing, minimum power reserve of three days and a hacking seconds function. Measuring 32 mm in diameter, the Calibre HMC 327 is housed in the 39.2 mm case of the new Venturer Small Seconds. The HMC 327 has also been designed to sit closely to the exhibition case-back, allowing the wearer to enjoy an intimate view of the fine finishing practised at H. Moser & Cie.
The HMC 327 is the result of a close examination of historic movements, an evolution that delivers optimised performance and efficiency. Such efficiencies provide benefits through state-of-the art technology in the form of a silicon anchor with ruby pallets and a silicon escape wheel. Silicon is anti-magnetic and confers low-friction; benefits which cannot be ignored.
Conversely, traditions are also respected. The in-house Straumann Hairspring® features a hand-applied Breguet overcoil, enhancing isochronism. The balance wheel includes gold screws facilitating precise poising of the balance. Adorning the movement is the H. Moser company hallmark, engraved in gold, although in keeping with the refined design, the engraving is reduced to a minimum against the backdrop of Moser stripes that adorn the bridges of the HMC 327.
