Hentschel H2 Sport Caliber 1130PS

Key Points from the Discussion

• A detailed comparison of the Hentschel movement layout to a Laine movement highlights similarities in the arrangement of pivots and gear wheels, suggesting common design constraints for central three-hand movements.
• Criticism is raised regarding the execution of the screwed gold chatons on the movement, noting that they appear to 'hover' rather than being flush, suggesting a potential area for improvement in finishing.
• The dial color is described as a deep but pale blue-violet, with the outer anti-reflective coating on the crystal occasionally giving it a purple hue.
• The bronze alloy used by Andreas Hentschel for over 10 years is specially formulated to prevent patina, offering a unique characteristic for those who prefer a consistent aesthetic.
• The watch's dimensions (39.9mm diameter, 8mm thickness) are discussed, with a question about whether the lugs make it wear larger than its stated size.
• The movement layout is noted to be identical to those used by Atelier de Chronometrie, which reportedly utilizes old Omega movements, raising questions about the origin of the base caliber.
• Some feedback was critical of the photographic filters used, suggesting they detract from the natural appearance of the watch.
