Today we’re taking a close up look at the Nomad unveiled by H. Moser & Cie. at Baselworld 2013. This timepiece, which features two time zones, is evocative of distant horizons, inspiring an urge to travel and to dream.
Today we're taking a close up look at the Nomad unveiled by H. Moser & Cie. at Baselworld 2013.
The Nomad begins with a polished and satin-finished case , with a dial features appliqué indexes with hour and minute hands, as well as a smaller red hand which indicates the hour in the second time zone. Adjustable in one-hour increments at any time of day, this faceted third hand can also be hidden under the hour hand if the wearer doesn’t need the dual time zone function. There is also an AM-PM indicator at 12 o’clock which changes from white to black at noon and from black to white at midnight. An off-centre sub-dial at six o’clock frames the seconds hand. A patented Double Pull Crown system allows for adjustments to be made using the crown, without any risk of inadvertently stopping the watch or altering the primary time.
Through the transparent sapphire crystal caseback the automatic calibre HMC 346, one of the largest on the market with a diameter of 34 mm and manufactured in-house, can be seen. This movement features an oscillating rotor made from 18-carat gold adorned with the Moser company coat of arms and is equipped with an in-house H. Moser & Cie. escapement module.
