You're too modest my friend. Your shots are really really nice. Go on ;-)
Regarding the writing, if you can remove it, that's perfect!

The Hentschel H1 Admiral - a maritime timepiece handmade in Hamburg
With great pleasure I can introduce the Hentschel H1 Admiral to puristspro today. It is actually way more than a pure variation of the H1 Chronometer. The Admiral is powered by the calibre "Werk 1", the absolute top movement Andreas Hentschel offers, hand...
I like how the bezel visually wraps around the case...
but my impression is that the movement might warrant a bit more tender love and care... Best, Magnus
Thanks for your comments, dear Magnus...
... please understand the watches I had for photos are exhibition pieces from the store, they do not embody the movement decoration to it's finest degree. Hence I plan to cover the 'Werk 1' in depth separately. Cheers Henrik
Been following your journey with Hentschel lately...
And have to say there are many elements of the watches I like. May not be the biggest fan of the Sport version but overall I feel the watches definitely make for a welcome addition! Keep up the great work
You perfectly know how to enhance a watch with your pictures. The movement is gorgeous (I particularly love the colour used).
Regarding the writing below the sub second dial, I have mixed feelings. On one hand I love the possibility to customise it and, on the other hand, it tends to slow down the dial. Well, a timepiece which should be see in real to have a better understanding...

Many thanks Henrik for this great shooting !
Really really nice, both the watch and your pics . HAGWE, Mike
Superb photos.
This is a very interesting watchmaker. I am enjoying immensely your posts regarding the Hentschel. Can you tell us if this movement is called the"Werk1" because it is the first manufacture movement? If so, what have they sourced for the previous models?
Dear Padj, your guess is spot on...
... Andreas Hentschel started with historic calibres like the AS1130, then created his first own movement Werk 1, which is entirely made in his workshop in Hamburg. After the supply of historic movements dried out, Hentschel also created the inhouse calib...
Thanks, Henrik.
Can't wait to have you continue on with the Hentschel saga. These are some beautiful watches.
