What do you think about this new Hentschel H2 Sport?
It’s a prototype of the Atlantis in white metal... not necessarily stainless steel 😉 Cheers Henrik ...
I do love the style of the Hentschel timepieces...
... and I know Andreas Hentschel for many years. I also love to photograph watches, and I like to share the outcome here and elsewhere. And I do believe those watches deserve to be known more 😉 Cheers Henrik
If this Hentschel is Platinum...
.. I would go for it! Brilliant picture of a stunning watch.
That bezel perturbs me a little. I would like to see it with all screws
like a Jorg Schauer. Or all indents, but I am curious about all blued screws first. As it is, it I don't like the cross created, reminds me of a compass bezel.
That exactly is part of the design intention, dear Michael...
... since the Hentschel timepieces seek inspiration from the Hamburg maritime chronometer history. Thanks for your thoughts! Cheers Henrik
I like it but I think I like even more the bronze case version with blue dial
What happened btw, I Don't find it anymore in the Hentschel website. Do you know if they have discontinued the bronze case versions?
Mike, the international website has been newly configured...
... with a smaller selection of models. The Bronze pieces can still be found on the German website. Cheers Henrik
I admire their work
I really like this watch and many of their pieces. The one thing that bugs me a bit is the circle dots for time markers for which there are no numerals. I would prefer to leave them off
I really like it
- can you share something about the movement? Base caliber (I guess I might know where that comes from) - and what refinements have been done to it. Regarding the screws I notice they are chemically blued, but that is probably only for the prototype - I h...
The movement is a handfinished calibre 1130P with swan neck regulator and a large inhouse screw balance...
... it will also feature the beautiful Breguet chatons you can find in various Hentschel timepieces. The screws of the movement are of course heat blued, the screws on the bezel and the strap hardware will remain PVD blued since they are exposed to the el...
Amazing how much can be done based the classic AS1130. Nicely done.
(I found some nice pictures on-line).
Doesn't
this company only use gold in one layer of the case and in 14K as the case is too thin and would otherwise be too weak.
