WatchProSite' 20th Anniversary watch: Hentschel H1 Chronometer for WatchProSite!
Hi my friends, We are delighted to announce that we managed to make a watch on order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our beloved site in collaboration with Hentschel, the HENTSCHEL H1 CHRONOMETER Limited and Exclusive Edition for WatchProSite (20 pie...
Many thanks Nico for the public annoucement of this great project we are working on since quite a while
Looking forward to your feedbacks. Beware of the limited quantity available, 10 out of the 20 are already pre reserved so actually only 10 are available now. Do not hesitate if you have questions here or by pm to Nico or myself Cheers, Mike
Beautiful watch Gentleman, congrats on bringing to life a great project.
A little too “traditional” in styling for me, but I am certain there will be many for whom this is a perfect fit.
Huge Congrats with this amazing and beautiful watch .
I have a bit to many watches on order right now to justify a purchase like this at the moment 🤦🏻♂️ will definitely be a big seller and i hope to see one in person when possible
Wow.
That’s impressive. Particularly the chronometry. I was just talking to another prominent member about getting into hentschel, when the timing is right. Unfortunately, the timing is not right, for me 😟 Gonna just settle for drooling over these watches once...
Congrats to all who have worked on this project.
It’s no small feat, and the final product looks amazing 💪🏿
A very nice watch and a great way to celebrate!
Sadly, wrong timing for me... A pity as I really like the production of this rather small company from Hamburg. Another time definitely! Great initiative, congratulations for that! Best, E.
Very nice and fitting.
I only wear automatic watches, so I won't participate, but that watch looks so nice, and so horologically meritorious, that it almost made me change my practice!
Nice offer, Nico
one question: what exactly does enamel rendering regarding the dial mean?
do you know whether there is a real example to look at?
Hentschel is 10 minutes away from me...
New to WPS - Intro.
A member from a small group of collectors in the San Francisco Bay Area shared a link to this beautiful and stunning watch and although I have heard of WPS before this was the first time I signed up. I must admit I was bitten by the FOMO bug and I wanted ...
Many thanks Garrett for this detailed introduction
What an horological journey! Very glad to welcome you here. I am sure you will enjoy a lot being part of the WPS family. As Nicolas just mentioned we are glad to allocate one Anniversary watch to you Looking forward to reading you here on our different fo...
Welcome Garrett!
Nice to know you're in the SF Bay Area (as am I). Thank you for the lovely introduction!
Let me join the lucky 20…
… sometimes living in the North of Germany has its positive sides, despite all the rain and rather cold weather. I jumped on the opportunity of being very close to pay a quick visit to Hentschel and see a prototype of this Anniversary watch. It’s absolute...
Well done Henrik! So glad of your decision
I am even more happy because you took your decision after seeing the prototype; it confirms that the mix of elements with this special dial works well
Would love to join if there is still one available?
Would love to join if one watch is still available - please advise! Thanks and br Jérôme
Great!!!
Great to hear - super excited to join you all on this “journey” 😃 Today being my birthday, receiving that news [that one watch was still available] is just superbe. Really love the design, the maritime chrono aspect thereof (plus the inspiration that link...
Ok. The 20 watches are spoken for. Now we start a waiting list of 5 people, in case there is some withdrawal. Same rule: The first to speak will be the first to be served. You will all receive in the very next days a pm explaining the way to go.
THANKS TO EVERYONE and EACH of you. It is an exciting project we, the WatchProSite Team and Hentschel, worked on. Best! Nicolas
Very excited about receiving this beautiful watch....
Thanks to all the powers that be, at WatchProsite!
Beautiful project
Great work on putting together a stunning classy piece from a top quality watchmaker. Was out the last couple of days. oh well I see I missed out on this piece but would love to get on the waiting list in case someone drops out. Thanks
I visited the workshop today and saw the prototype
Amanico and Mike H did a fantastic job with this choice. Although having met Mr. Hentschel before I never purchased a watch from him. Everything impressed me in terms of quality but I never got warm with one of their dials with respect to my personal tast...
I thought that Nico would comment on the Villeret - but here you go, thxs ;-)
I took it for comparison reasons regarding the dial. And as I said, it is indeed very nicely done. Looking very much forward to my piece
Masterpiece in its individual way
This one is a masterpiece as well in terms of color scheme, strap and overall offering. Thanks to your poisoning I have chosen one and since yesterday its back on my wrist (one of the pieces I keep permanently on the canarian island). Actually I plan to t...
Virtually nothing is better than the Villeret...
A true and honest watch for a Purist type collector!
wawa
IF YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE. IN MY CASE IF I WORK I LOSE. LOL CAN I BE PUT ON WAIT LIST PLEASE? JUST GOT DONE WORK, AND SAW THIS THREAD. THANKS NICO. MIKE R.
✅✅
Nico, when and how do we make down payment on the new WPS watch ? Will someone notify us ? Thanks
Please check your mail box
Mail sent to you last night. In case you didn’t receive it please send me a pm here. Thanks
Lovely watch and project!
Really well done all around, and quite a lot being offered for the price. Excellent work by all parties involved. Darren
a stunner
what a damn gorgeous way to celebrate it....the timepiece looks stunning. well it goes without saying...what my choice is. Best, mahesh.,
Congratulations!!!
On a light side....Seriously?!?! You are also doing limited editions and waiting list and application piece... lol
I see the irony!
Although honestly, there is no profit motivation here, just making sure we sell out. HOWEVER! If there was some profit generated by this website, I would petition that moderators should all get complimentary fruit baskets every year! And I'll take my gift...
French chocolates! And French wine!
I do like the "La Bernachon" chocolate from Marseille. Unfortunately, during my most recent visit to Paris, the "Denise Acabo Chocolatier" boutique wasn't open. I shall have to return to Paris! And the "La Maison Du Chocolat" store was sold out of the "as...
LoL if I am a moderator I ll take it in form of gelato pint bouquet
Pint Size (no scoop) please ...
I like this idea. But with all the FedEx delays in USA, my ice cream will probably come melted!
Plus, FedEx lost my package for 6 weeks and it had two watches in it!
Yes. And FedEx just DID NOT CARE.
Keep in mind, they're a monopoly/duopoloy, you have few alternatives; thus, FedEx doesn't need to be better. I blame the sender (a big jewelry store on Bond Street, even the best and biggest stores make small mistakes now and then) for using FedEx when th...
Obsessed with gelato!
Notice, Cookie Monster is the CEO, or the Cookie Eating Officer! The character is somehow inspired by Englishman Alistair Cooke (I don't see the parallels). While Cookie Monster absolutely enjoys devouring cookies, in recent years, with childhood obesity ...
You know I'm just teasing you :)
Nice work....slightly reminds me of the Langematik Anniversary...wink.
Big respect and congratulations to the designer and the Purist Owners
the name and sublime stunningness reminds me of her ...
Dear Nicholas and Mike, you have really represented
the Special WatchProSite character with this project and I will be very proud to wear this amazing watch when it appears in the metal. Thanks and this thread is one of the most enthusiastic collector’s thread I have ever enjoyed. Thanks to the whole commu...
Many thanks for your kind words 🙏
It is indeed a very enthusiastic project, the prototype looks stunning, I believe the lucky 20 will be very proud and happy
Congratulations
to the very fortunate 20 on the list and those on the waiting list. It is beautiful!
What a beautiful design!
Well done by everyone involved, and a huge congratulations to the new owners!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I believe at least..
One other person got their reservation in before I did. If the first set of watches are sent out at the same time, then maybe.
I am certain that..
You will make the right choice. Should mine appear early, of course I would give my initial impressions.
Nico, when will those ‘on the list’…
…receive details for payment etc? Cheers, pplater.
Oeps probably to late (was a few days off line), but would love to add this to my collection as well
So if still available, do not hesitate to contact me
Got you by a few minutes 😉😁👍. Doesn't matter in any case as we all we receive it most likely around the same time...
Actually, you will most likely receive your 1st since you can simply drive there to pick it up 🤣🤣
I am not eager on that at all (and was anyway one of the last to order)
and as I am pretty often in my house on the canary islands i might well be the last to get it ;-)
Me too
We could do a joint pick-up at the Hentschel Workshop and I will organize a factory tour at Montblanc HQ for fountain pens and watches. But Paris is also very attractive ;-)
Hamburg would be perfect…
… nothing better than having the GTG at the Hentschel workshop to celebrate this beautiful watch.
As mentioned in my work-in-progress update on Nov 7th, delivery was most probably supposed to be some time in February (I had mentioned Jan if we are lucky but it will not be the case)
actually I regret to say that the latest news are that it could be end of Feb if we are lucky but most probably it will be in March/April. Actually I am waiting for news from Hentschel and I shall not fail to inform all in the upcoming update of the situa...
When I paid them a visit in November they told me it will be for sure March
It seems to take some time to produce the dials.
We’ll try our best to have one or two till delivery
Working on it at present but to be honest it has been a bit delayed due to the festive season. Thank you for your understanding 😉
