DAVID moSS
BACKGROUND
Johannesburg born and bred David is both an astute businessman and a humanitarian. Over the last 40 years, he and his wife Jenny, not only built Picot and Moss into one of Southern Africa’s most successful luxury merchandise distributors but have also consistently used their exclusive brands to add value to the lives of many South Africans.
David is respected in the industry as an accomplished businessperson where his knowledge of the luxury goods and retail industries is highly valued and sought after. But what really sets him uniquely apart is the value he places on family, people and his country.
In his free time, David enjoys playing golf, poker and has a love-hate relationship with gym.
WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE BUSINESS OF WATCHES?
After I qualified as a CA, I did a 5-year stint at Tiger Wheel & Tyre, ( an interesting experience, I can assure you!), before I branched out on my own to follow my passion for all things time and watches. My experience as a child in the family business ignited a desire in later years to re-acquire and re-ignite the company that had become dormant. I finally achieved that goal in the mid 80s when I was
able to buy the name and begin trading as Picot & Moss.
As luck would have it, at around the same , my brother-in-law was on holiday in Hong Kong and I needed a watchstrap. One innocuous telephone conversation asking him to get me a strap, was the catalyst the company needed. I started selling and distributing watch straps and even attended the Basel Fair to buy straps from various suppliers. I remember being very wary, scared even, to go and have a look at the watch pavilion! But, in 1989, we made it into Hall 1. Watch heaven they call it. It was also the year that our hard work ethic and determination landed us our first watch brand, ENICAR a very old Swiss band named after its founder (in reverse) Jean Jacques RACINE. We saw this as destiny because Jennifer’s first watch, a gift for her 18th birthday was an Enicar.”
Rado, from the Swatch Group followed. But the Picot and Moss team always had their sights set on the edginess and elegance of TAG Heuer. It took two years to get an appointment, but Jenny and I eventually got the big meeting with TAG Heuer in 1991 and I suppose the rest is history.”
Gucci followed, then Calvin Klein, IWC, Jaeger, Zenith and Hermes. The Swatch Group valued our leadership to the extent that they asked us to partner in a joint venture
to manage their entire portfolio of brands. We did that for about 8 years. Bulgari is our latest acquisition and the future is wide open.
Your first timepiece?
The very first watch I was given did not last long. I was 9 years old and my parents were in Switzerland. I so badly wanted a watch. A package was delivered to our house postmarked Switzerland. Overwhelmed with excitement, I tore open the box. I knew it was a watch, they heard my plea. In fact, it didn’t contain one watch, it contained 6 watches... all made of chocolate! Tasty, but it didn’t quite get me ticking!
WHAT AS THE LOCKDOWN MEANT TO YOU?
On a business front the lockdown has been a challenge with limited to no sales whilst overhead expenses remained the same. As a company, Picot and Moss needed to make decisions that forced a restructure of our thinking and an attitude to shift to the new normal. Like many companies, it means looking towards technology and exceptional customer service to meet the needs of customers today and tomorrow. On a personal note the lockdown has been a gift of a lifetime. It has given me hours and hours to spend with

my family, Jen, Alex our daughter, and our new granddaughter, Georgi. Day after day, I cannot believe how lucky I got. This has to be the true definition of quality time.
THE FAVOURITE THREE WATCHES IN YOUR COLLECTION?
The only watches I really collect are vintage. My favourite would have to be my original blue dial Monaco as worn by Steve McQueen in the movie Grand Prix. I also managed to acquire an original blue dial Carrera. Lastly, although a timepiece not a watch, there is a Baby Ben that I still use to this day.
WHAT DO THESE PIECES SAY ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE?
I suppose they talk to my love of sport, the value I see in quality items, my fanatical attention to detail, and finally, they probably illustrate my attachment to and respect for history.
THE ONE WATCH YOU’LL NEVER PART WITH?
Undoubtedly my original blue dial Monaco.
What are your thoughts about buying online?
Unless you can establish that you are dealing with a website that is authorized by the brand consider it will the most dangerous purchase you can ever make because :
• You could be the receipt of stolen products (and seen to be funding organized crime).
• Worse the product may be the result of an armed robbery and your purchase may be confiscated, by authorities.
• You may be promised a guarantee, which I can assure you that an unauthorised website will have no access to OFFICIAL SPARE PARTS.
• Your purchase is definitely not new (sold at least two times) and could be used.
BEST ‘DEAL(S)’ TO BE HAD ONLINE FOR NEW WATCHES AT THE MOMENT?
The best deals online at the moment, must surely be from authorized brand distributors like the Facebook sight called The Horologist where there are watches discounted from 30-50% with authorized warranties – check it out yourself. We also have a range of online watches at PicotandMoss.Com that offer the latest product line at honest prices again with full international warranties. Additionally we have a Picot and Moss Facebook shop, where we are making select watches available at pre-covid-19 prices, for a limited time.

ULYSSE NARDIN X ANTARCTICA - AN ODE TO THE ESSENCE OF EXPLORATION
This timepiece, only produced in 300 units, certainly brings a certain X-factor when it comes to tackling the world’s roughest seas.
It was created with the help of renowned environmental activist, Sebastian Copeland, who’s known to use photography as a medium for activism and as expression of his deep love for the planet.
As for the UN Diver X Antarctica, the sand-blasted dial has a hint of blue to reflect the icebergs floating in the Antarctic sea; the bezel of the watch as well as the matte white rubber strap pay tribute to the pure and immaculate Antarctic landscape. The case, crown and horns are all
made from performing lightweight titanium.
At its core, the UN Diver X Antarctica runs on the UN- 118 movement self-winding manufacture movement and it also boasts 60hrs of power reserve.
However, it’s the case back of the watch that you will want to look for: the stamp on the back of the watch details not only the coordinates of the Antarctic Continent: 90° longitude (with no latitude necessary for the landmass located at the southernmost tip of the Earth) but also the route of the Vendée Globe sailing race, of which Ulysse Nardin has become the official sponsor.

LA D DE DIOR SATINE MALACHITE
Victoire De Castellane, creative director of Dior jewellery, originally created La D de Dior collection for a woman who likes to borrow her man’s watch, so that she always thinks of him.
Without a doubt we can say these timepieces bring together the heart of Swiss watchmaking know-how and the poetic universe of Dior Jewellery.
The latest addition to this collection, the D de Dior Satine line, was designed, in pure Dior spirit, to be like a “satin ribbon” that tells time and features a silky Milanese mesh bracelet, whose flexibility and shine make it look like a real metallic haute-couture fabric.
Creative daring, a sense of colour and rich materials immediately come to the fore.
We showcased here one of the latest creations featuring a precious malachite dial of extraordinary beauty, a gold bezel and crown finely set with diamonds and its unmistakable mesh bracelet.

ALPINE EAGLE
The rebirth of an Icon. The new Alpine Eagle sports chic timepieces are the result of a state-of-the-art reinterpretation of the St. Moritz, the first watch created in 1980 by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele.
Contemporary, refined and assertive are just a few bold traits of the new Alpine Eagle timepieces, crafted using an exclusive, ultra-resistant and light-reflecting metal named Lucent Steel A223.
This Chopard proprietary alloy is partially composed of recycled stainless steel. Besides the ecological benefits of repurposing steel into a new product, the A223 lucent steel is 50% more resistant to abrasion than conventional steel and is non-allergenic. By creating this new material as rich, precious and complex as gold, Chopard has proven to be a pioneer of the watchmaking industry. It’s also renowned for the use of ethically mined gold, some of which is seen in the Alpine Eagle.
The Alpine Eagle is available in two sizes, 41mm and 36mm and the hearts of both these variations beat to the rhythm of an in-house chronometer-certified movement. Bearing testament to Chopard’s ethical approach, Alpine Eagle also gives this house an opportunity to reveal its new commitment to protecting the Alpine environment through the launch of the Eagle Wings Foundation.

CHRONOMASTER REVIVAL “SHADOW”
The Chronomaster Revival “Shadow” takes it monochromatic colours from a 1970 prototype that had a large case in black-coated steel.
The Shadow has a look often found in sports watch, but it’s an effective, functional look. And Zenith was smart with the details, streamlining the dial for a clean, stark look. The outer seconds track and date, for instance, have both been done away with, and the tachymetric scale has been simplified.
The Shadow is a blend of modern and vintage elements. The 37 mm case is in micro-blasted titanium. Created by using extremely tiny beads for the blasting process, the result is a grained but smooth surface.
Overall the Shadow is a good piece for someone who likes the A385 case shape, but wants a clean, modern style instead of a faithful vintage remake.

VANTABLACK- ENDEAVOUR TOURBILLON CONCEPT
The Future is now! Striking minimalism –No name, no indexes, no logo - Just an hour and a minute hand above a flying tourbillon
With these minimalistic “concept” aesthetics that almost “disappears” the dial Moser & cie. introduces us to a new paradigm where refined simplicity intersects perfectly with traditional Swiss watchmaking.
Vantablack was developed in 2012 (VANTA is an acronym for “vertically aligned nanotube arrays”) and uses millions of vertically aligned nanotubes, 10.000 times finer than human hair, to absorb 99.9% of light.
In the Endeavour Tourbillon Concept, H. Moser & Cie. has managed to extract the essence of this complex mechanism: the movement is housed in a 42mm white gold case and the focus is all on the flying tourbillon whose cage is enhanced using aerospace aluminium. This reduces inertia and improves isochronism and accuracy.
Resolutely contemporary, utterly seductive and truly fascinating.

INOX PROFESSIONAL DIVER
Everybody needs a watch which they can mistakenly drop from 10 meters high or forget in a running washing machine at 90 degrees Celsius or even just have a 65 ton tank drive over
it (as long as it’s not on your arm when that happens!).
Realistically, it is great having a watch you don’t have to console every time you accidentally knock against the wall or clumsily let fall while trying to put on in a hurry. The I.N.O.X. collection takes tough, rugged, robust and hardwearing watches to the next level. While having a watch with such substantial strength on your wrist might prove slightly weightier than a normal timepiece, the 45mm I.N.O.X Titanium professional diver is just the antidote.
Showcasing the ultimate strength to weight ratio titanium possesses, the timepiece is also accompanied by the stylish and trendy paracord strap for the adventurer at heart as well as an additional black rubber strap to mix things up, oh and don’t forget the airtight box it comes in which can double up as keep-it-fresh-Super-Rugby- biltong-lunchbox.

Black is the new gold in this high tech ceramic creation of the ground breaking Zenith Defy El
Primero 21.
But this time, ZENITH is achieving a new record as the world’s most accurate series-made chronograph. Beating at the impressive frequency of 360,000 vibrations per hour and thereby reaching the rate of 50 Hertz, it runs 10 times faster than the original El Primero. And as if this was not enough, this new chronograph movement, certified by Time Lab, drives a hundredth of a second display with one rotation per second.
That basically means that the central chronograph hand performs a full turn of the dial in one second, a truly masterful watchmaking achievement
All of this is made possible thanks to the movement’s dual architecture. El Primero 21 is equipped with two independent escapements; one for the watch and one for the chronograph. The watch escapement beats at a frequency of 36,000 VPH, or 5 Hertz, whereas the chronograph runs at 360,000 VPH, thereby reaching 50 Hertz.
For such an accurate and powerful watch one needs a proper power reserve! It is split into two distinct parts, 50 hours for the watch and 50 minutes for the Chrono. This is why the movement has 2 independent barrels, resulting in 2 independent sources of energy. You can find the power reserve indication at 12 o’clock.
A proper strap is an essential companion to any watch and switching it out is an easy way to experience a whole new style and look. You can choose from a leather strap, a rubber strap or a metal bracelet to let you read time in style!

HIGH FREQUENCY FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE
The iconic 24-hours Le Mains endurance race is always a good reason for petrol heads to get excited. To make things even more thrilling, Chopard – the official timing partner for the Porsche Team - developed the Superfast
Power Control Porsche 919 HF edition watch.
This particular model stands out from the crowd thanks to a brand new high frequency automatic movement and a series of amazing small aesthetic details that highlight Chopard close ties with Porsche Motorsport.
In the world of mechanical watches, a frequency of 4Hz or lower is most common. However, the new calibre 01.11-M by Chopard Manufacture pushes it further by operating at an impressive 8Hz, minimising the effect of gravity on the movement and therefore increasing accuracy and performance. The movement-COSC certified- is visible through a sapphire crystal case back, shows off a dark grey theme complemented by red engravings to support the automotive theme.
This limited edition of just 100 pieces features a DLC coated and bead-blasted 45mm titanium case and it displays a front bezel screwed down with 8 screws.
The biggest obsessions in motorsport are lightweight, technical specs and high performance materials. There is simply no doubt that this special Chopard timepiece is a match made in Heaven!

Dedicated to the new young watch connoisseur, the Freak X comes in a 43mm case presented in 3 different variations: titanium, rose gold or black DLC. If your taste is really cutting edge, there’s a 4th option: the pioneering Carbonium® case, a very high-performance light and sustainable composite material.
Not only does the Freak X have an environmental impact of 40% less than other comparable materials, it is also extremely robust and amazingly light. Each case pattern is also totally unique due to the way the fibres create their marbling effect.
The Ulysse Nardin Freak X is powered by the UN- 230 caliber offering an impressive 72hrs power reserve; a great option if you like to wear a watch quite often but still change it from time to time with other timepieces.

tourbillon, which is encompassed in a skeleton design. Not a single ounce of detail or expertise was spared in the crafting of this breath- taking timepiece.
For a watch brand just 32 years old yet containing more than a century’s worth of expertise, Frederique Constant has acquired the perfect combination of Swiss watchmaking savoir faire and innovation, while at the same time achieving modern relevance.

CHoPArD LuC
A WATCH WITH A DISTINGUISHED CHARACTER FOR TODAY’S GENTLEMAN
The new L.U.C Perpetual Chrono by Chopard is a complication in a league of its own: it is the symbol of an ideal partnership between the hand craftsmanship of the master watchmaker and cutting-edge technology.

The calendar features a large twin-aperture date display, complemented by indications of the day, the month and the cycle of standard and leap years. The finishing touches are set by a day/ night indication and an orbital moon-phase display.

DIor GrAND BAL “mISS DIor”
HAUTE HORLOGERIE MEETS HAUTE COUTURE AND GIVES LIFE TO THE FEMININE VERSION OF A COMPLICATION
“A ball gown must be the one of your dreams, and must also make you a dream-like creatures”
T(C. Dior)
hese words by Monsier Dior shed light on the reason why the Dior Grand Bal collection is reminiscent of the magical swirling of a ball gown, in tune with the cutting-edge “Dior
Inverse’” calibre.
This one of a kind movement, developed by Les Ateliers Horlogers Dior in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, in association with Soprod manufacturer showcases its functional rotor deliberately and audaciously placed on the front of the dial. The true significance of style in horology can be found in the metiers d’art, transforming the watch dial into an artist’s canvas and this is particularly visible in the Dior Grand Bal Collection of timepieces.
The Grand Bal “Miss Dior” takes us deep into the heart of Christian Dior’s garden with its oscillating weight embellished with precious petals encrusted with diamonds: a real example of the refinement that prevails in the ateliers of the greatest couturiers.
The lining of the strap as well as the pink or blue sapphire crystal case-back are details only known to the wearer.
These two pieces are a fine tribute to Monsieur Dior’s passion for flowers as well as the famous “Miss Dior” dress, one of the Maison’s first Haute Couture dresses. Limited edition of 88 pieces.
