My take on the Habring2 Snail dial Chrono-Felix....
I've immense respect to Habring2, when I say that I mean THE couple, THE brand, THE timepiece....all of them. To their credit, since 2004 Habring2 has won 4 GPHG awards till date (no surprise here, Richard's mentor during his IWC days was none other than ...
Marvellous, and well done for your persistence
I enquired in a similar way but did not pursue the matter hard enough, obviously. I'm in touch with one other collector who went the extra yards and ended up with the white dial variant. Lucky gentlemen!
I think you should still give a shot....
as long as it is within their product design, I see Habring is flexible to make something the collector likes.
Such great looking watches...
...my tiny nitpick would be to get rid of 'Austria' on the front of the dial.
that's really nitpick isn't it ?!
in deed it was manufactured in Austria, so I'm happy it is on the dial ;-)
Not when you've spent almost 40 years...
...as a graphic designer. It's just common sense. My Audi is made in Germany, I don't want type on the grill that says 'Made in Germany.'
Out of curiosity
What percentage of watches in your collection don’t make reference to where it was made on the dial?
Depends upon your criteria...
...many dials will say 'Swiss' or some such in tiny letters. Also, it's a matter of design and how the information is incorporated into the overall design (typeface, size, color, etc.)...
Many congratulations on acquiring this!
I cannot believe I missed this! Beautiful movement, and yes, the snail dial is quite tantalising! But I agree, that salmon dial sector is fantastic! I really have a thing about well proportioned timepieces in a sector dial and those that come in salmon!
thank you ! in deed one of the perfect sector dial chronographs...
JLC master chronograph with syringe hands was cool one but for some reason it was taken off the catalog soon.
thank you ! to clarify...the dial of Habring2 is printed one.
the Breguet 5247 & the Montblanc (pic from ''TeutonicCarFan'' above) are in deed gorgeous enamel !
