A visit with Maria and Richard Habring
Friday I meet up again with the owners of Habring2 who had come to Southern California for an evening reception hosted by our local Independent Watchmaker-supporting store. I joined a dozen or more watch enthusiasts from around the US for drinks, a nice meal, and lots of watch talk.
We learned the Habrings currently have two employees besides themselves; they can produce around 200 watches a year; it’s hard to keep trainees more than a few years (at least in Austria), and they love what they do — which is make watch lovers happy. We saw some new watches too — like this 5-minute repeater. 
We were joined by another independent watchmaker, Keaton Myrick, who flew down from Oregon.

Wow, what a selection of amazing Indies!
Do you have some more pics of the Keaton watch and some other pics of the habring? As the expression goes, especially for these watches, a picture says a thousand words.
I might have some from previous visits
Friday I talked to people more and took fewer pictures. Here are a few Habring2 images: I’ll look later today. In the meantime, check out Keaton’s site Cheers, Cazalea ...
The 5 Min Repeater was unbelievable!
Loud, crisp, and at a remarkable price of €18,500🙂. I took particular interest to the COS with a central minutes totalizer. Thanks to Richard, Maria, Tim & Janna for the wonderful evening🙏. It was great to see you again, Mike👍 ...
Speaking of central seconds chrono ... this Faberge was super
Spotted on the arm of one of the guests - he just picked it up that day ...
Looks like a great event.
Two great indie brands. And a lot of passionate collectors together talking watches. Really like the new line from Habring (salmon dials) . And would love to see the keaton watches in person one day
