Fresh off the back of a triumphant success at the 2020 GPHG watchmaking 'Oscars' ceremony in Geneva, bagging not one but two cherished GPHG Aiguille awards for Best Chronograph, with the Streamliner Flyback Chronograph, and the Audacity award for the outrageous Endeavour Cylindrical Tourbillon, we are joined by the suave and charming CEO of H. Moser & Cie, Edouard Meylan.
Renowned for its immaculate minimalist styling, the H. Moser timepiece is defined by a classic and refined profile, beautiful fumé dials, and of course a level of technical innovation which continues to push the parameters of uncompromising in-house Haute Horlogerie to new levels.
There's also a wonderfully mischievous side to the Schaffhausen-based indie company too which is unique in the industry, and whether making a statement about what defines Swiss watchmaking, or reminding electronics corporations of their place, or even having a little fun at the expense of some of the established Grandes Marques, Edouard Meylan does not shy away from expressing his personal observations on the state of watchmaking current affairs, using his brand as a vehicle to capture the headlines.
Little wonder then that this master of the marketing coup has seen this historic brand rise from the ashes in under ten years, to establish itself as one of the very coolest and non-conformist names in contemporary independent horology, picking up the baton and taking with it the prestige and pride of 100% Swiss Made traditional watchmaking.
