KMII initiates a community 'roll call' for Habring² owners, inviting collectors to share their cherished timepieces. This thread serves as a vibrant showcase of Habring²'s diverse offerings and highlights the brand's unique appeal among independent watch enthusiasts. KMII's personal contribution, featuring a custom-dialed Habring² with a pulsating heart complication, sets the stage for a fascinating exploration of individual connections to this Austrian manufacture.
Key Points from the Discussion
- Habring²'s customization policy has evolved; while previously requiring bulk orders, the brand now accommodates single custom watch requests, making personalized Erwin models more accessible.
- The Habring² COS ZM and Timezone models offer a highly enjoyable ownership experience, with collectors appreciating the customization process and the brand's warm welcome at their Völkermarkt workshop.
- KMII's custom Habring² features a unique 'pulsating heart' complication, where a heart-shaped aperture replaces the traditional round hole to indicate the watch is running, a personalized touch for his wife's birthday.
- Several collectors showcase their Habring² Timezone models, including the TZ 20 and TZ 21, highlighting the brand's popular travel-time complication.
- Despite admiring Habring²'s work, one collector, who owns pieces from Richard Habring's time at IWC, has yet to find the opportune moment to acquire a Habring² timepiece.
- The SJX edition of a Habring² Erwin was particularly opportune for one collector, as it launched shortly after they were informed that single customized orders were not possible at the time.
