A name that intrigues, a color that fascinates. With the Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Smoked Salmon, the independent watchmaker H. Moser & Cie., founded in 1828 and renowned for its unconventional spirit, unveils a creation that combines restraint and character. Its dial stands out with a warm, original hue—somewhere between copper and deep brown—that captures the light like the robe of a fine aged whisky. Its surface features a vertical finish, then darkens with the brand’s signature fumé effect, a subtle gradient that gives each watch a vibrant and ever-changing depth.
Beneath this apparent simplicity lies one of the most ingenious movements on the market, the in-house HMC 800 caliber. The true beating heart of the watch, it powers a perpetual calendar designed to remain clear and intuitive. No multiple subdials or complicated displays—just a slender central hand indicating the months and a seven-day power reserve indicator at 9 o’clock. True to its minimalist philosophy, H. Moser & Cie. even chose to almost entirely remove its logo, replacing it with a transparent signature so that all attention remains on the dial.
With its 42 mm white-gold case and brown alligator strap, this model embodies the full uniqueness of the Maison. It pairs an exceptionally ingenious movement with a bold and refined aesthetic. The Endeavour Perpetual Calendar Smoked Salmon does not seek to impress through ostentation, but through the subtlety of its tones and the intelligence of its design. A piece that is rare, elegant, and understated, it appeals as much to connoisseurs as to those discovering that the truest luxury often lies in the details.
