A Tribute to Timeless Craftsmanship and Modern Ingenuity
In a collaboration that bridges historical tradition and contemporary innovation, H. Moser & Cie. introduces the limited-edition Endeavour Chronograph Compax, a tribute to mid-20th-century watchmaking, designed in partnership with horological design studio Massena LAB. Limited to just 100 pieces, this chronograph captures the spirit of discovery, inspired by Moser’s 1940s chronographs and enhanced with modern precision. The watch is a celebration of craftsmanship, featuring the distinctive “Compax” configuration with dual sub-dials at 3 and 9 o’clock, elegantly framed in a 41mm stainless steel case. Its unique Funky Blue fumé dial, matched with Super-LumiNova® detailing, offers perfect legibility, creating an aesthetic steeped in heritage yet fit for the present.
Innovative Design Meets Functionality
The Endeavour Chronograph Compax does not just look the part; it’s engineered for precision. Equipped with the HMC 220 automatic calibre and Dubois Dépraz chronograph module, the watch includes a tachymeter, central chronograph seconds, and a 45-minute counter. This robust yet refined mechanism is powered by a bidirectional pawl winding system with a three-day power reserve, showcasing the brand’s commitment to exceptional functionality. A brown kudu leather strap with white stitching completes the look, combining elegance with a nod to vintage style.
Crafted for Connoisseurs and Adventurers
William Massena, the founder of Massena LAB, says “Taking inspiration from Moser chronographs from the 1940s, what intrigued me the most during this collaboration was the tension between the maximalist vintage aesthetic of the past and the radical minimalism at the heart of modern-day H. Moser & Cie. Marrying these two philosophies was a challenge, but the resulting Endeavour Chronograph Compax is a watch which links the past and present, whilst looking firmly towards the future”. This timepiece serves as a bridge between two worlds—balancing Moser’s streamlined approach with Massena’s reverence for traditional, expressive design.
Edouard Meylan, CEO of H. Moser & Cie., says “The Endeavour Chronograph Compax model is more than just a watch: It is a timeless declaration, a bridge between the past and present, and a marvellous illustration of the ability of both brands to push the limits of innovation ever further, whilst celebrating the watchmaking heritage of H. Moser & Cie. It does not settle for simply telling a story; it takes you on a journey, immersing its wearer in a world where time meets discovery and innovation”, emphasising that this watch goes beyond a simple chronograph; it is a journey through time, merging legacy and innovation.
