Thank You Palladio Jewellers in Vancouver, and especially Vincent and Andes, who took the time to show me this watch. And to spend hours chatting about all makes and models of other brands as well.

Palladio Jewellers is what the experience of finding precious timepiece is all about! Gracious, knowledgeable, friendly - and managing to be humble at the same time - are traits that I look for when I look at watches.

Here are some photos I took the past couple of days, which really do the watch little justice. It must be seen in real life to be totally appreciated:















I feel very fortunate indeed to have found this beautiful timepiece. And grateful to Palladio Jewellers for being the only AD in Canada to carry this amazing brand. Even with my lovely collection, this watch is fast becoming my favorite.

Thanks for looking at my thread.

Cheers,
Carl

Lovely Mayu (as it was formerly called) in white gold with grey fumé dial – hardly surprising it’s becoming a favoured piece.

The Venturer model with the Blue Fume dial is stunning. Is your's the regular or XL? My AD has the XL, which he showed me. That domed crystal with the simplicity of the dial is amazing.

I don't think that anyone can go wrong with any of the models.

Glad to see that they are gaining in popularity, but still very satisfied with the exclusivity of the brand. Even the Kudu strap, which I Googled, and is some species of African Antelope, is superlative and unigue. I cannot imagine it on any other strap, although the Alligator leather straps are beautiful as well.

I sincerely hope that you are enjoying yours as much as I am mine.

Cheers,
Carl

Agree, it’s great seeing so few, like a little club! Mine is 39mm, not xl. They have a green dial in the xl for the real brave.

Drop dead gorgeous dials....and beautiful watch.
Not surprising either as Moser dials are mfr'd by the same company that makes Patek dials.

Interesting article here :

Thanks for all the positive comments on this watch. The entire adventure with this watch has been incredible. Including the AD, Palladio Jewellers, here in Vancouver, and the H. Moser & Cie representatives themselves. I had a number of questions and comments which were dealt with on a very professional and personable level. An amazing company with a tremendous, well justified pride in their product.

Just for the record, they do make everything in house. Even the hairsprings, which they also manufacture for other companies.

"Very Rare" and "Only Swiss" are true trademarks of the brand. I feel very fortunate that we have the only AD in Canada here in Vancouver, else I would not have been able to see them. And I have a tremendous pride in owning this watch.

Cheers,
Carl
