Brand history
Originally founded by Heinrich Moser in Saint-Petersburg in 1828, the brand has been re-established in the Swiss town of Neuhausen am Rheinfall (near Schaffhausen), the same canton that hosts IWC; the modern manufacture produces the HMC family of in-house calibers.
Originally founded 1828 in Saint-Petersburg by Heinrich Moser, dormant through most of the 20th century, and revived 2005 in Neuhausen am Rheinfall (the Schaffhausen canton, the same as IWC) by the Meylan family, owners of the movement manufacturer Précision Engineering AG. The brand is small (~1,500–2,000 watches per year), the dials are unmistakable (the "fumé" sunburst-to-edge fade is a Moser signature), and the in-house calibers (HMC 200, HMC 327, HMC 902) are produced by sister company Précision Engineering.
