NX ONE is a popular choice among watch enthusiasts for its selection of premium H. Moser & Cie. CPO (certified pre-owned) watches. Its popularity isn't simply due to the rare and valuable timepieces it sells; it's also due to the fact that it only sells watches that are recognized as authentic and guaranteed by the brand, earning it a high level of trust.

H. Moser & Cie. Premium CPO Watches
This Japan-exclusive model, named "Blue Horizon," features a vibrant blue dial. The combination of the brand's signature "fumé" dial and the flowing lines of the case creates an elegant look. Only 20 pieces of this model were released in 2018, but one of the joys of the NX ONE is the opportunity to come across such a rare piece.
As the slogan "VERY RARE" in the brand logo suggests, H. Moser & Cie. has continued to release highly rare watches since the brand's revival. Currently, the annual production is approximately 4000 units. The number of each model in circulation is small, and in recent years, attention has been drawn to watches from small fashion houses that produce unique watches in small quantities. As a result, H. Moser & Cie. watches have become more popular than ever before, making them even more difficult to obtain.
NX ONE, which opened in Tokyo's Ginza district in 2012, brought a breakthrough to this situation. Since opening, the store, which bills itself as a "premium watch select shop," has stocked rare CPO watches, such as those from Richard Mille. However, starting in 20, the store has also begun stocking H. Moser & Cie. CPO watches as another mainstay of its offering. This means that a new path has been opened up for those looking to acquire H. Moser & Cie.'s extremely rare timepieces, albeit pre-owned.
Of course, if you're simply looking for a used item, you might be able to find one at a specialty store that stocks a wide range of used watches. However, the watches you can purchase at NX ONE are CPO watches that have been certified as authentic by the brand and have a guaranteed quality. For this reason, all watches sold at NX ONE go through a rigorous process before being sold.
This 2019 model features an eye-catching midnight blue gradient dial. The case is an original creation that combines 18K red gold and titanium with black DLC coating, and is water resistant to 12 bar, as is typical of a sports model.
The H. Moser & Cie. CPO watch included with the NX ONE is sent to the H. Moser & Cie. headquarters in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, or to a brand-authorized watchmaker in Japan, where it undergoes precision adjustment, quality inspection, and exterior finishing before being returned to the NX ONE. Furthermore, to demonstrate that the watch has undergone such a meticulous process, the purchase of a CPO watch comes with a certified pre-owned watch warranty issued by H. Moser & Cie. headquarters, and the brand's after-sales service is available for two years from the date of purchase. Unlike typical pre-owned watches sold by dealers without the brand's involvement, where it's unclear how they have been maintained, the absolute peace of mind offered by the NX ONE is a major advantage.
Another important factor is pricing. In the secondary market, where prices continue to soar abnormally, NX ONE has maintained its stance of selling valuable models at fair prices since its opening. This not only provides peace of mind about the watches, but also their unwavering stance of pricing truly valuable models at fair prices while passing them on to the next generation, which is why NX ONE has earned the deep trust of watch enthusiasts.
