It took a little while longer than expected...
... which was entirely due to myself changing my mind along the way. I had ordered the bronze Hentschel H2 Sport Atlantis initially, but then I asked Andreas Hentschel to change the order to an even more special timepiece 😉
It’s time for some color:
Now here’s a look at calibre 1130PS which is just as much a pleasure for the eyes...
... and finally this wonderful minute hand:
Hope you enjoyed these first impressions, I‘m afraid you will see many more moving forward 😇
Cheers

Congrats! The movement is very nicely decorated. Which is the metal you finally chose? [nt]

Merci beaucoup, Nico! It’s a pre-final series platinum piece with the traditional mvmt decoration. [nt]

Thanks a lot! Yes, I am very happy with the change, with my original choice being very beautiful as well 😉 [nt]

Beautiful by any means❣️😍
What color is it? Is seams to be a deep but pale blue-violet?
Material: Well certainly a wise decision to not go for bronce - at least I would never buy a bronce watch... although it might look nice at certain times...
The hands are pieces of art by themselves...😍
Lucky you❗️🍀☀️😃
Thanks a lot, Markus! The dial has a nice blue...
... with the hue of the outer antireflective coating on the crystal giving it a notch of purple at times.
As to Bronze: the one used by Andreas Hentschel since more than 10 years has a special alloy that prevents it from patina 😉

Lovely! The movement based on the classic Omega is very nice, too. [nt]

Ah, how interesting! Who is AS?
The movement layout is exactly the same as the one used by Atelier de Chronometrie, who says they are using old Omega movements!
AS is the short form of Anton Schild. Atelier de Chronometrie apparently use old Omega calibres, I think that many historic movements have similar configurations. [nt]

True, here's a comparison look at your fantastic beautiful movement, and my newest (oldest) watch
The Hentschel
The Laine. Ignore the plates and bridges and focus on the pivots and gear wheels
Notice the arc created by the four jeweled pivots? See the position of the balance, relative to the large and small winding wheels (click is in a different location).

If you want three hands in the middle, with hours minutes seconds in correct proportion, some things are set in stone (brass, German silver, etc.) You know what I mean.
Congratulations on this new find. I agree, they should be paying you!

It’s not a AS movement, it is an in-house calibre based on the AS configuration [nt]

Congrats, they should run an ad with these stunning pictures and give you that beautiful watch for free! :-) [nt]

Very beautifully made watch and much better than a lot of Swiss counterpart. [nt]
