Paraphrasing the old Roman wisdom, ‘When in Carinthia, wear what the locals wear’, strapping on the Habring2 Foudroyante felt like the appropriate choice. And before the Mad Druid asks, the strap is NOT made from the skin of the local dragon, the Lindenwu...  

The Foudroyante Felix has a very animated dial with the dead-beat seconds in combination with the foudroyante. I don’t own one, but it always catches my eye when I see one in a shop.

Especially not my point and shoot shots 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ The full fascination comes from the movement of the hands like you say 🙌🏻👌🏻

Being tempted by all of your great Habring posts I have finally also placed my order for one of their watches !!

Which one did you go for in the end? 😊🎊🎉🎈

Had the opportunity to play with it recently and am confident that you will really, really like it 🙌🏻🤞🏻

Strap King 😁

PURPLE STRAP ANY TIME OVER A PURPLE HEART!!!!

Glad you like it!

But this is a new word for me 😁👍🏻

My Habring2 foudroyante says hi! 😊. This was in the Staatsoper, but I also absolutely wore it when I was in Carinthia, too! ...

And don’t you have a purple pool queue to go with it? 😁

Do the rings have primarily a visual function or something else, too?

. . . the different types of wood in a handle. But pplater had a stroke of genius when he suggested trying a mineral rock native to Tasmania for the rings in our nearly matching cues . . . as far as I know our brace of Tasmanian devils are the only cues i... 

They certainly look fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

These are just so cool and special 🙌🏻

Very fond memories, Art; thank you. That was a while ago now - time flies. Is Bob still doing his thing? Cheers, pplater.

. . . and still making cues for a few select customers. I'll post one of his latest cue creations on TimeOut shortly. 🎱

I think that Habring qualifies. Very nice.

They qualify IMHO as well 😊👍🏻

... and unique! I love your pulsometer dial (I just mistyped "pilsometer", and on second thought, this might be an interesting complication as well: measuring the beer drinking rate per hour ... Marcus

On a more serious note, love the complication combination as well 👏🏻👍🏻
