This photo was lurking in a dark recess of the hard drive and it might be of interest to some of you Habring2 fans out there if you have not already seen it. It's a "Richard Habring" tourbillon (photo by M Friedberg, from PPro), from the days before Habring2.
It's a bit different to the current aesthetic, isn't it? Does anyone know anything about the watch? Indeed - does anyone have it????
Cheers,
pplater.

I have a friend who has one of these, I believe the movement was an IWC but
will check and see if he can send photos

Quite similar, indeed...
Good to see the watch; even better to be reminded of an old-style Network 54 post! Thanks for taking the trouble, Alex. This makes it possible to track the Habring progress even further back over time. Cheers, pplater.
Habring made 14 tourbillons...
...before he settled on the design of his Habring 2 tourbillon, including the one he developed for IWC's Il Destriero Scafusia. You can see these on his web site. My watch, to which Alex posted a link, is N. 13, and the one you posted, if I recall correct...
Make that 15 tourbillons...
...I had forgotten the Panerai-like one: http://www.habring.com/en/private-customers/the-tourbillons-1989-2002 -
Great, Alberto...
Thank you for bringing us the story of your watch and those details of the early Habring tourbillons. All credit to you for your vision. Cheers, pplater.
That's gold!...
Thanks Don - as they say, "you just can't buy stuff like that"! Much appreciated. Cheers, pplater.
Very cool, Pplater!
One from the archives that deserves to see the light of day more often! You can absolutely see the direct link aesthetically from this early piece from Richard to today's Habring 2 Tourbillon 3D. Cheers, Daos
