Henrik, known as shortys home, introduces the Hentschel H1 Admiral, a timepiece that showcases the independent German watchmaker's commitment to in-house manufacturing. This article highlights the H1 Admiral's unique design and the advanced 'Werk 1' caliber, emphasizing Hentschel's dedication to traditional craftsmanship in Hamburg. His detailed presentation offers a valuable look into a lesser-known but highly respected brand in the luxury watch community.
but my impression is that the movement might warrant a bit more tender love and care... Best, Magnus
... please understand the watches I had for photos are exhibition pieces from the store, they do not embody the movement decoration to it's finest degree. Hence I plan to cover the 'Werk 1' in depth separately. Cheers Henrik
And have to say there are many elements of the watches I like. May not be the biggest fan of the Sport version but overall I feel the watches definitely make for a welcome addition! Keep up the great work
Regarding the writing below the sub second dial, I have mixed feelings. On one hand I love the possibility to customise it and, on the other hand, it tends to slow down the dial. Well, a timepiece which should be see in real to have a better understanding of it. Thank you for these nice shots. Best wishes Alkiro
... although I personally just try to emphasise, not enhance, the beautiful aspects of a watch, in the way I see them with my spoiled eyes ;-) I get your mixed feelings about the writing below the small seconds. Good thing is, you can simply skip it if you wish... Cheers Henrik
Regarding the writing, if you can remove it, that's perfect! Best wishes Alkiro
