It marks the first time since its creation 196 years ago that the Manufacture has chosen to join forces with an individual, thereby creating a three-way bond that will stand the test of time. This collaboration perfectly illustrates the symbiosis between the two brands, determined to move forward in parallel and build bridges to ensure they grow together, with Pierre Gasly officiating as the common denominator, devoting his passion and perfectionism to them both.
Alongside the values of precision, innovation, and fearlessness, H. Moser & Cie. and Pierre Gasly also share a commitment to hard work and a quest for excellence. As an F1 driver, Pierre understands the stakes and precisely what it truly means for every second to count. As in watchmaking, competition is fierce on the circuit, and life is full of highs and lows. This unfailing commitment, this perfectionism, this ability to go above and beyond, whatever the circumstances, is what H. Moser & Cie. shares with Pierre. And this is why it has decided to work alongside him so that he can enrich the brand’s future with his vision.
I deeply respect the craftsmanship that goes into each Moser creation, and I am thrilled to be part of their incredible journey as I share my love for watchmaking with the world.
