heritage
Our tale begins
Our tale begins at the turn of the 19th century with Heinrich Moser, a young entrepreneur destined to forge his own path. Born in Schaffhausen into a family of watchmakers, he followed the footsteps of his forefathers and learned the watchmaking trade.
After making his way to Saint Petersburg and becoming the go-to specialist for the aristocrats, he founded H. Moser & Cie. in 1828, building an factory which employed several hundred artisans in Switzerland.
It is estimated that he produced around 500,000 watches in his lifetime. These watches ranged from basic three-hand watches to “grande complications”.
