An absolutely adorable report!
Thank you so much for your selfless committment in obtaining this information and pictures! You even had to suffer through that wine-thing for them - poor Magnus!
I hope to see the repeater in person somewhen, just to listen to its chime!

Habring2 5-Minute Repeater: music for the masses (and the seasoned connoisseur!)
It's sometimes the small(er) complications which carry with them all the charm you probably never asked for, and this here is just another case in point: The Habring2 Felix 5-Minute Repeater , the Horological Couple 's newest baby: So, a 5-minute repeater...
What a magnificent review my friend !
The watch details, the personal touch, the pics... all ingredients are there to make of that review a great great one. Big congrats Magnus !!! 😉👍👌👏👏👏 Mike
Thank you for this lovely report, Magnus!
The sound of the repeater is very clear 👍 I second your comments on the openworked dial, I would very much prefer a full dial, and possibly a slightly smaller case. Cheers Henrik
It is always so interesting to read reports by insiders, revealing also a bit of the private side of watchmakers
Regarding the Habring's watches, I am likely not yet a collector mature enough to appreciate the no-nonsense "industrial" finish of their watches. I just wonder how Peter Petzold of Define Watches in Australia managed to convince the Habrings to collabora...
That looks beautiful...
but limited editions (or even one-offs) have always been done with the Habrings. Best, Magnus
Very enjoyable post, thank you Magnus, The Habrings keep delivering the most surprising left field complications. You get the feeling that their priorities are totally focused around their
horological fascinations and desires with their commercial interests far lower down the list of priorities. This approach may split opinions, but isn't this so refreshing ? No great artist creates anything for just the public adulation! Bravo the Habrings...
How very well said! An intelligently composed but accessible product where a great number of people can find pleasure...
is sometimes so much more fascinating than a 'halo' project that even the makers can only dream of. Best, Magnus
Thank you Magnus
Great report, and a brilliant watch. Keep up the good work removing all that nasty wine from the shop shelves Regards Tim and Carole

Thanks for the report, Magnus. This is a watch one should give serious consideration to...
I have a problem with the open dial, although I am not certain why. Might there be an option for a closed enamel dial?
Great report Magnus!
Thank you for this introduction to this watch... I don't own a Habring^2, save an IWC Doppel Chrono with a Habring-designed movement. Would love to hear this piece in person and try it on my wrist someday! But it's exclusivity will prove its elusiveness i...
Great article!
I really love the last few photos about a more personal side of them! It's great to see the watch to human connection, something I've always admired!
