H. Moser & Cie.HeritageModel No: 8200-1201-G21B

We won't be the first to admit that H. Moser & Cie has a knack for presenting highly-complex and elevated watchmaking in a form that caters to modern sensibilities yet has a conventional undertone. Almost all the timepieces in its catalogue vouch for it. In 2018, the house introduced a new timepiece called the Heritage as part of the Bucherer Blue Editions. The watch, inspired by the pocket watches of the 1920s, impressed everyone instantly. Therefore, when the house released a more compelling and Moser-like iteration of the Heritage in 2019, it left us all swooning.

Heritage is a watch full of signature military watch elements: the symmetric round case, wired lugs, an onion-shaped crown for ease of use, and large Arabic numeral markers that promote legibility. The well-proportioned 42mm steel case combines elegant finishes and smooth rounded contours. The slim profile of the lugs gives a refined feel. It features ribbed panels on the case bands and the crown is engraved with the M logo.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
