Behind the Scenes of H. MOSER & CIE
H. MOSER & CIE’s latest campaign, “The Manufacture – Behind The Scenes,” documents the production processes at the brand’s manufacture in Schaffhausen. The film reveals how watchmakers assemble movements, finish cases, and construct dials across the facility’s workshops.
The Craftsmanship That Defines Our Watches
Each H. MOSER & CIE watch combines traditional hand-finishing techniques with modern production methods. The artisans work through multiple stages of assembly and quality control. Cases are hand-polished to precise tolerances. Dials are finished with attention to surface texture and printing clarity. Movements undergo regulation and timing checks before casing. This layered process ensures functional accuracy and visual consistency across the brand’s collections.
A Day in the Life at The Manufacture
The manufacture operates as a series of specialized workshops. Movement assembly occurs in dedicated spaces where watchmakers position components and perform hand-finishing on barrel covers, bridges, and other visible parts. Case finishing departments handle polishing, brushing, and surface treatment. Dial production combines printing, application of applied indices, and hand-setting of complications. Quality control checkpoints occur throughout: dimensional verification, chronometer testing, and water-resistance validation. Each worker specializes in their stage of production, building expertise that translates directly to the finished product.
Innovation Meets Tradition
H. MOSER & CIE maintains in-house capability across movement development, case manufacturing, and dial production. Recent innovations include updates to the Perpetual calendar mechanism and advances in dial surface treatments. The brand retains traditional techniques—hand-engraving, hand-applied numerals, and metal polishing by hand—while adopting digital tools for design iteration and precision measurement. This approach allows the manufacture to preserve recognizable design language established over decades while addressing contemporary durability and accuracy standards.
