H. Moser & Cie Venturer Small Seconds, White Gold, Roman Numerals 2327-0200

Launched in 2014, the Venturer collection has been widely acclaimed for its unique design, inspired by the convex shapes of the 1960s. In 2015, H. Moser & Cie. is exploring further by launching a resolutely neo-vintage model whose lacquered white dial, decorated with Roman numerals, features a champfered detailing on a circular flange as well as blued steel hands. This watch has an air of understated elegance which is perfectly in tune with the purest art of traditional watchmaking and which hearkens back to the style of the historic pocket watches created by Heinrich Moser.The Venturer Small Seconds has only been available to date in red gold, and the warmth of this material provides an exceptional accompaniment to the soft, sensual lines of the case. Now launched in a white gold version – with a brand new white lacquered dial, decorated with Roman numerals for an entirely different neo-vintage look. Sophisticated and ultra-refined, its dial is a modern reinterpretation of the watches of the 1920s. Featuring a convex profile beneath its rounded sapphire crystal, this timepiece – like the rest of the Venturer models – has a dial and hands with curved edges, making the most of its three dimensions. Set onto a plate and accentuated by champfered detailing on a flange separated from the bezel, the dial appears to float weightlessly inside the case. The long, tapered hands are made from blued steel, in the purest watchmaking tradition, where the treatment to achieve the blue colour has always been a sign of prestige. They heighten the elegance of this timepiece. The small second recalls the historic pocket watches created by H. Moser & Cie. Offset at 6 o’clock, this subdial is positioned as close as possible to the bottom of the main dial, a technical feat made possible thanks to the exceptional in-house movement fitted within this creation.
