On November 7th, 2015, Geneva will host the 6th edition of the Only Watch Charity Auction with proceeds donated for research on Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. H. Moser & Cie. joins the action with the donation of a unique piece, the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Only Watch. This exceptional watch is not only remarkable for its complexity but also for the symbolic value and the message it conveys.

In honour of the young victims of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, for whom every movement is an accomplishment and each day is a challenge, the children of H. Moser & Cie. employees have handwritten the design for the perpetual calendar dates. As a symbol of the fundamental principle of life, with its strength and radiance, the red small seconds hand in the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Only Watch provides a stark contrast to the signature fumé dial, while the red strap lining also takes up this colour, with a discreet and modern effect.

For the case of the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Only Watch, the watchmakers at H. Moser & Cie. chose titanium with a DLC finish. Durable, lightweight, hypoallergenic, the polished titanium accents the sleek contemporary design of this model, adding a timeless dimension. Revealed through the crystal case-back, is the HMC 341 movement with a minimum 7-days power reserve. In addition, the Moser interchangeable escapement has been fitted with an Original Straumann Double-Hairspring®, a very rare feature in honour of this exceptional charity event.

A perpetual calendar in the service of eternal hope: a complication was never so aptly named.

BALL Watch – Engineer Hydrocarbon Aero GMT












BALL Watch Engineer Hydrocarbon Aero GMT Automatic NEW

BALL Watch brings instant low-light visibility to a new level with the introduction of the all-new Engineer Hydrocarbon Aero GMT, with its groundbreaking micro gas light rotating bezel.


Click on the mouse wheel to see the large size ...                    BIG FOTO






























A watch for flight crew and air traffic professionals, it incorporates, for the first time in any timepiece, H3micro gas tubes in the chassis of the bezel. This bezel carries a 24-hour graduation, and marks out a third time-zone in addition to its standard and second time-zone GMT functions. In the darkness of an aircraft cockpit or air traffic control, this bezel comes alive with a luminosity 100 times more effective than conventional luminous paint found in other aviation watches, yet is self-powered for up to 25 years.

The Engineer Hydrocarbon Aero GMT also carries on with BALL Watch’s signature toughness and can absorb impact of up to 7,500Gs, and carries an antimagnetic resistance of 4,800 A/m. The 42mm machined stainless steel case is equipped with the BALL patented crown-protection system to ensure a sealed-system.

The aviator-inspired face has hour indexes and main hands carrying yellow H3gas tubes, with the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock markings receiving double gas tubes, with a pair of ultra-distinctive orange gas tubes holding court at the 12 o’clock index. The second time-zone GMT hand tops this all off with green gas tubes, in tribute to BALL’s corporate colours.

Inside beats a Swiss-made BALL RR1201-C automatic mechanical movement which certified by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC).

This model either comes complete with a metal bracelet fitted with the BALL exclusive patented triple folding buckle or is alternatively fitted to personal taste with a rubber strap and standard buckle. Both configurations allow the watch to be fitted over one’s aviation apparel, and complement the out-sized bezel in giving the pilot excellent usability in form and in function.
