Royal De Versailles Welcomes H. Moser & Cie With POP Collection Event
Bertrand Meylan
Toronto's luxury watch scene has always had its crown jewel in Royal De Versailles, Canada's largest and most extravagant watch and jewelry retailer. Known for its extensive Rolex selection, showcased in a boutique fully renovated in 2023 with marble counters and a striking colour palette perfectly in tune with Rolex branding, RDV has long been the destination for collectors in search of both breadth and exclusivity. Over the decades, the retailer has offered some of watchmaking's most prestigious names, and while certain brands such as Audemars Piguet have since shifted to their own boutique networks, RDV continues to evolve, focusing on partners that offer exceptional creativity and horological significance.
Moser Vantablack Dial
That ethos was on full display on June 12th, 2025, when RDV officially celebrated the arrival of H. Moser & Cie with a launch event at Toronto's Storys Building. It was an evening that reflected not only the momentum of this independent Swiss manufacturer but also RDV's ongoing ambition to broaden its offering to some of the most interesting names in watchmaking today.
2025 Moser Novelties
Guests were welcomed by Moser's CEO, Bertrand Meylan, who spoke passionately about the brand's philosophy of innovation rooted in independent craftsmanship. A wide range of Moser watches was on hand, including some of the latest 2025 novelties and, notably, the new POP collection, a vibrant take on Moser's refined design language, featuring playful dial colours and bold strap pairings.
Moser POP Collection Candy
The décor carried this theme through in clever ways, with mini POP stands displaying watches surrounded by candy in matching tones, creating a whimsical yet luxurious atmosphere that felt true to both the collection and the spirit of the evening.

For collectors, the addition of Moser to RDV's already impressive roster marks an attractive milestone. Moser has become one of the most talked-about independents in recent years, winning praise for pieces like the minimalist Endeavour Centre Seconds with its gradient fumé dials, the sculptural Streamliner chronograph, and its technically ingenious perpetual calendar that adjusts almost intuitively. Often unconventional, like their Vantablack dials, Moser brings something fresh to the Canadian market, and its new POP collection amplifies this creative edge even further.
POP Collection
RDV's decision to embrace a brand with this kind of artistic and mechanical boldness signals an openness to the future of watch collecting. For years, its status as Canada's premier retailer has been secured by its scale and by its strong relationship with Rolex, but the addition of Moser shows a current willingness to explore a more niche side of the industry and tap into a new segment of dedicated watch collectors. For Moser, meanwhile, partnering with Canada's largest watch retailer provides access to a collector base eager for innovation but unwilling to compromise on traditional horological excellence.

The result is a partnership that feels mutually beneficial, a convergence of a historic Canadian luxury institution with one of Switzerland's fastest-growing independents. With the full Moser lineup (minus boutique-only exclusives) now available through Royal De Versailles, and with events like this launch showcasing just how much energy exists around the brand, it's clear that both RDV and Moser are poised to make an impact on the Canadian watch landscape for years to come.
