Mesmerizing

Congratulations on your first independent! The Habring Foudroyante is amaising and I like the way their dials change with the light, visible in your pictures too. How about giving us a "on the wrist" report in a couple of months? Enjoy, Don
Good Rate Results...

Hey, Don - I haven't taken the watch off since I got it. I set it to one of our clocks that synchs with the atomic clock. I can tell you thus far the watch appears to lose a little less than a second a day... which is very impressive if you ask me. - Scot...
Okay, here's the deal...

... look at your mechanical watch... the second hand is 'sweeping', as it does on almost all mechanical watches - except for those fitted with a complication known as a "deadbeat second hand". A quartz watch has a second hand that does not sweep and click...
Gorgeous!

And a huge congrats to you. Love the contrast of the foud and the dead beat seconds. Love the contrast between the colors of the dial. And love the contrast beyween the brush and polish. It's all about the play between contrasts:) Wear in the best of heal...
Welcome to the indie world!

I don't need to promise that you won't regret it, because you obviously don't! And while there are many pieces of tremendous merit from houses such as VC, Lange, JLC, and others, for menu of us there is no substitute for the highly personal experience of ...
3rd pusher
By: jonathan.bresler : June 27th, 2012-19:03
It activates the dopplechronograph (ie. "split second") function whereby a second "hidden" second hand continues its revolution around the watch while the orange second hand remains stationary. Pressing the the 10 o'clock pusher again will reunite the two...
There's no turning back!

Congrats on the Habring2 Scott! Now that the Indies have your attention you'll definitely keep coming back for more! Nothing beats working with talented watchmakers like Maria and Richard (and aren't they such nice people!!) to get your watch how your wan...
Right now..

... I can only have my eyes on Kari's Vingt 8... after that, I will need a long period to think about a next move, at the same time, let the bank account recover a little :D But there are so many Indies, and not enough dollars... FP Journe makes beautiful...
Thank you so much...

Horo - Interestingly enough, I first saw the Habring Foudroyante at a Purists dinner in Santa Monica, CA. I fell in love at first sight. I have always had my eye on a JLC Duometre because it is, of course, an amazing piece, and I love the foudroyante hand...
