The inspiration behind the Perpetual Calendar Heritage Limited Edition came from an H. Moser pocket watch datingfrom the late 19 th century in the H. Moser & Cie. collection. The case on this model, made from a striking blue,engraved enamel and studded with diamonds, inspired the watchmakers at the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture toreinterpret this watch, calling on the best craftsmen to work on the case. Featuring "cloisonné" enamel on a casewith two covers, guilloché, engraving and setting techniques as well as "Grand Feu" enamel on the dial, inassociation with a modern in-house, hand-wound calibre made from solid gold: the Perpetual Calendar Heritage Limited Edition is the synthesis of the greatest arts in watchmaking craftsmanship.

It also symbolises the linkbetween the past and the present for H. Moser & Cie., founded in 1828, through a reinterpretation of an historicwatch which retains its original features, now in a larger dimension and fitted with a strap. The red gold case withtwo covers has therefore been enlarged and features extremely fine lugs, while respecting its original design. Oneither side of the watch is a cover with hand-engraved, guilloché decoration, extending up the side of the case.These have then been enamelled, demonstrating the highest level of craftsmanship, and set with diamonds on thedial side. Paired with a crocodile leather strap, this beautifully rounded case is as smooth as a pebble. In reference tothe historic timepiece, H. Moser & Cie. fitted its Perpetual Calendar Heritage Limited Edition with a notched crownequipped with the Double Pull Crown system and fitted with a push-button mechanism for opening the upper casecover.

The dial, also enamelled, is decorated with Roman numerals. The scales of the track showing minutes and smallseconds are a further reference to tradition, as is the dovetail shape of the two main hands, which are flame-blued, as well as those for the power reserve and small seconds.
