H. Moser & Cie was originally founded in 1828 by Swiss watchmaker Heinrich Moser in St. Petersburg, Russia. The company was split between the company’s Managing Directors after the death of Moser in 1874, with none of his heirs willing to run the business.
Relaunch as H. Moser & Cie
In 2002, Moser Schaffhausen AG was founded by Dr. Jürgen Lange and Roger Nicholas Balsiger, the great-grandson of Heinrich Moser, and H. Moser & Cie was officially re-launched in 2005 as a trademark of their company.
Global Partner of Alpine Motorsports
At the start of 2024, H. Moser & Cie was announced as the first ever global partner of Alpine Motorsports. This includes replacing Bell & Ross as the watch sponsor of the BWT Alpine F1 Team, with drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon sporting the Swiss timepieces in press photos. In addition, Gasly made company history as the first ever individual to partner directly with the brand. The H. Moser & Cie. Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Skeleton Alpine Limited Edition (ref. 6811-1200) was announced in April, shortly followed by a Pink Livery edition at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix.
