Haldimann H11/H12
Dear all
Am interested in the H11/12 models of Beat Haldimann.
Aside from the mainstream trinity pieces in my collection my only experience with independents is my Habring Erwin, a FPJ CB and a very early Dornblüth. First time to go a bit further with a more expensive independent piece. Love the design.
Question to existing or past owners of a Haldimann:
- comments please on your experience ordering and dealing with BH before and after sale
- comments please on watch finish, construction, reliability
- would you do it again?
- what other alternatives should I consider?
Thanks a lot.

My experience was identical to adrianh’s. Bad communication, missed deadlines (in ways that a modest amount of planning could have minimized or avoided altogether) but a lovely watch for your trouble.
