if this had been an automatic movement, we may well have asked for the "Seth Rotor".

2 Habring 2: A Purists' Tale
By: RJW : September 29th, 2012-19:54
A couple of years ago I first saw the Habring2 Chrono SHH 2007 with a wonderful transparent brown/burgundy dial. It further inspired me to purchase my first independent and customised watch; a Habring2 jumping seconds with power reserve indicator. The who...
Very nice piece Richard

Love the subtle orange Luminova. Perhaps it was inspired by a similar chronograph owned by a member here? ;-) - SJX
Many thanks SJX

"this watch is more significant than an individually customised watch. More important because it is a customised watch for 2 friends. It is a mark of respect and friendship. This will not be forgotten." PuristS ! D
Nice watch

One day I might even remember to clean my watches before photographing them. My thanks to the inventors of dust removing software. Regards, Richard.
Another gorgeous Habring2!

Congratulations Richard, the founder of the AD HOC :) The Doppel 2.0 is certainly one of Maria and RIchard's most desirable creations, it's a great choice for a second Habring2. The burgundy dial is breathtaking and I love your photos! Also, congrats to O...
Thanks Sidney

Yes, please!

and with a very nice, personal history. Thank you sharing it with us. As a privileged owner of customized 'Foudroyante' I second everything you have written about Richard and Maria Habring. Habring2s are fantastic watches, that come with fantastic service...
Nice story Richard, you now need to make the

trek to Austria and see the magical atelier where your watches are crafted. I still don't know how they get any work done with that view! Enjoy your beauties, Best to all, Tim
Hi Richard, the Atelier is a dream. A sweeping view

of the Alps, river and town below. Watches and watchmaking equipment all around and great little restaurants in the town for amazing cuisine. It is a paradise. Good travels, Tim
Splendid, Richard!

Great watch, great story, great friendships! And the photos are fantastic as well. I am enjoying my Doppel a lot as well, and hope that yours brings you a great deal of pleasure. I know the original burgundy dial quite well -- in fact, there is an interse...
Thanks on all accounts Gary

And you most certainly were a part of the adventure. Your photos were my reference during the whole process. Regards, Richard.

The burgundy dial is a wonderful lustrous colour. And it works well with the colour of the indices. Regards, Richard.
Congrats, Richard!

I love the color combo that you guys chose! What a handsome timepiece! Cheers, Daos
Super awesome

Richard and Maria always complete the piece. Sure, the watches are great and they will do just about anything that can be done. But then have Hirsch (or whoever they're using now) match the strap so well. A dream watch. And your colors really fulfill the ...
