History

H. Moser & Cie was founded in 1828 by Heinrich Moser in Schaffhausen, who built a horological empire stretching from Switzerland to Russia. Revived in 2005 by MELB Holdings under CEO Edouard Meylan, it was repositioned as a fiercely independent manufacture known for its signature fumé dials. The Streamliner, launched in 2020, was Moser's first integrated-bracelet sports watch with retro-futuristic cushion-shaped lines. This Alpine F1 mechanics edition pays tribute to the unseen pit crew whose precision under pressure mirrors fine watchmaking.
