I got to visit their factory a couple of years ago which greatly helped to form my opinion on the brand itself. The way I perceive it is that they heavily focus on the core of horology itself: the movements. Given their heritage and also since they are supplying parts to the industry, that‘s where they shine for me. From a mechanical point of view as far as my humble judgement goes, they are sublime indeed. The flying tourbillon sitting at 6 o‘clock inside the skeletonized HMC814 movement is a showstopper and as far I could tell the finishing of the inner workings was great, keeping in mind that I never saw it in daylight.
Narrowing it down and coming back to your question if I understood it correctly: The finishing on the case and the bracelet is solid but certainly not the pinnacle of the watch world.
What is your take on Moser generally and do you happen to own any of their watches?
What I love is that with a watch like this from an indy brand that is not very well known, one flies under the radar with a stellar horological ufo on the wrist.
