What to know

The Endeavour Retrograde Seconds turns a familiar indication into a brief mechanical performance. A hand at six o’clock sweeps through a 30-second arc before springing back to its starting point, repeating the display twice every minute. Against the Blackor fumé dial and barely visible lacquer logo, the movement attracts attention without cluttering the 40 mm steel dress watch.

Inside, the automatic HMC 252, developed with Agenhor’s retrograde expertise, offers a 72-hour reserve. A tungsten rotor drives the self-winding movement, and a newly designed dial-side rack operates the jumping seconds. H. Moser & Cie. lists the Endeavour at CHF 27,900 excluding VAT and pairs it with a hand-stitched nubuck alligator strap. The watch is rated to 3 ATM water resistance.
