That central minute counter COS...
...is just fantastic!
It looks so similar to my simple jumping secons (similar dial and hands, except no minute counter, of course).
Had Richard had this model available when I ordered my other watch I would surely had gone for the chrono: I love chronos! And this is pure discretion...
Great article, Don, thank you!
A visit to Habring2, Richard and Maria Habring
A visit to Habring2, Richard and Maria Habring Don Corson, October 2012 While there are many independent watchmakers close to home in Switzerland there is always the time when one wants to get out to new places. This time came with a vacation planned to C...
HABRING2 VERY VERY ..................
COGRATULATIONS DON, THE SPOUSES HABRING ARE EXCEPTIONAL AND HUMBLE PEOPLE, AND BUILDING VERY VELL MADE WATCHES
Superb report Don, Thanks!
I am very intrigued by the offerings from the Habrings. I love the not so usual functions and high level technical solutions. IMO the outer designs suits this perfectly with clean lines and subtle yet playful use of colours. All the best Nikolaj
Wonderful Essay
Thank you so much for this description of your visit to the Habrings. I certainly prize my Habring^2 chronograph. The quality of execution on my watch is superb, as it is apparently on every single one of their pieces. My question is whether it is possibl...

They are such a darling brand of the Purists
so many affectionate posts. I admire them and their watches very much. But when they use the date... it does not work at all for me, the watches become very pedestrian looking. I wish they would find a way to integrate the date without it looking like a g...
Thanks for a great report Don
Very interesting. A shame about the weather though. Regards, Richard.
just got mine
Just got my Doppel 2.0 in blue. Definitely not my last. What a wonderful and concise report Don.
I want to visit Richard and Maria in Austria one of these days!
Their atelier looks awesome! Plus there is Mickey! He is a cutie pie! There is no watchmaker working today that I feel more affection for than Richard. I love how he always looks for the most elegant solution in engineering every complication. He and Mari...

It is a fantastic watch, always a conversation piece
and keeps great time. I have a nice memory shot right after I picked up the watch from Richard and Maria and Mickey! The warm Austrian sun helps the picture and the memory. Best to all, Tim ...
do they use Soprod to substitute their ETA based calibers?
or have they replaced their entire range with in house? strangely, i was just looking at their tourbillon clock they made for Burben and Zorweg yesterday!!! and didn't know they made the Sattler watch though. great report mate best, Horo
As I understand...
they don't use Soprod at all. When the ETA source has dried up they will be making their own. As long as ETA parts are still available they will be using them. Don
It has been my pleasure to meet Richard and Maria twice now
on two of their visits to the US. What wonderful people they are. I hope one day to have an opportunity to visit them in Austria, and to own one of their very special watches. Thanks, Don, for the report. Best, CaliiforniaJed
Wonderful report, Don. Looking forward to make...
...the trip oneday as well, and to pick up a nice piece. The blue dial split second chrono is a killer. Best, Stefan
