H. Moser & Cie

H. Moser & Cie. began in 1828 when Swiss watchmaker Heinrich Moser founded the company in St. Petersburg, Russia, becoming renowned for luxury timepieces for Russian nobility, including Vladimir Lenin. After Moser's death, the brand faced decline, disappearing after the 1917 revolution, but was revived in 2005 by the Meylan family, who relaunched it with a modern, minimalist aesthetic, innovative perpetual calendars (like the Endeavour and Streamliner lines), and strong focus on in-house manufacturing, becoming a respected independent watchmaker again.
