A little history…
The original H. Moser & Cie was founded by independent watchmaker, Heinrich Moser.
Heinrich Moser was born in Schaffhausen, Switzerland in 1805. He learned the basic watchmaking craft from his father before going on to continued his horological studies in Le Locle, Switzerland.

In 1828, he founded the original H. Moser & Cie in St. Petersburg, Russia. Early clients of H. Moser & Cie included Russian princes and members of the Russian Imperial Court; Vladimir Lenin also owned a Moser watch. Henry Moser was one of the few Swiss dealers authorised to serve the Russian court/market.

In 1848, Heinrich Moser returned to his hometown of Schaffhausen and established a watch factory there to supply his Russian business. Henry Moser was one of the few authorised Swiss dealers to the Russian court/market. After Moser died in 1874, the company was sold before the Russian business was expropriated in 1918 due to the October Revolution.
