Jaw falling good

A clean backplate makes your Habring more esthetic.
It maybe brings Habring the idea to do all Felix peaces that way.
The sunburst twirls pops out from out of the backplate.
The peaces with the Habring mark on the backplate disturb the effect of the center balance overall design.

The strap story is real cool. Maria have the right choice to put on the darker brown strap.
But tastes differs from person to person.
Don’t mind someone put on a green or black leather strap on the Felix.

Have much fun with Felix.

Escapement:
Building the escapement fork with the rubies. All by hand.
putting on the balance spring to the balance wheel.
Blueing the screws with a gas burner.
The balance spring adjustment screw is just awesome.

I don't get this watch now, I have it for some time, I just made a repost for those that have not seen it.

Fantastic watch....

By: darmatgre-1 : January 2nd, 2021-10:30

from a couple of amazing watchmakers. The Habrings represent everything that is right and good in independent watchmaking. Love both sides of that one. Darren

I like my Habring2 very much and will certainly buy another. The only problem is which one to choose?

By: kjkt3 : January 2nd, 2021-11:23

I have zero experience with Habring but from what I have read and seen, their customer service is top notch...

By: holdemchamp1225 : January 2nd, 2021-11:55
