H. Moser & Cie Endeavor Small Seconds

Just a simple dress watch? Think again. Moser & Cie, founded by Heinrich Moser in 19th-century Schaffhausen, Switzerland, is one of the finest fully independent Swiss watchmaking houses in the world. It’s also one of the most playful, having released a watch so black that it literally fades into nothing, and a mechanical watch shaped — quite on purpose — exactly like an Apple Watch. The Endeavour line, however, is classic watchmaking at its pinnacle. The collection encompasses gorgeous, minimalist pieces meant for the discerning collector who desires a simple, well-made piece that flies under the radar. And the Endeavour Small Seconds is emblematic of that design remit. This particular Endeavour Small Seconds features a 39mm 18k yellow gold case, a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a polished bezel, and a flawless satin silver dial with applied quadrant indices and a 'small seconds' register at 6:00, and a matching yellow gold 'feuille' handset.
