Simplicity with Habring2 - the original Felix ⚖️🇦🇹
Our first visit to the Habring atelier in Völkermarkt was a bit of a revelation in what distinguishes independent watch makers from the more conventional brands. We came to order some individual pieces (back in the day, when they were not filled with orders to over capacity this was easier) to commemorate our wedding anniversary as well as the years spent living in Austria and agreed this would be best done in person.
And while we have had the opportunity to see some of their watches previously at the Vienna Watch Fair and with their Viennese dealer, it was a premiere on the ground and they had watches to look at, to make our design choices somewhat easier.
My wife and me then decided on a short reflection time to consider and returned relatively quickly, not only with the ideas (which would subsequently get refined in the classical process) but also with the request to become owners a bit faster than what the process for our unique pieces would allow.
In short, we wanted a Felix that they had. It took a bit of discussion here and there before they agreed but when they did they also truly surprised us in saying we can take the watch with straight away 😁
Still thoroughly enjoying the perfect proportions, the thinness, the simplicity.
Any other Habring watches around this weekend?
Your salmon Chrono is fabulous 🙌🏻👌🏻
And could not agree more with your sentiment 👏🏻👍🏻
Certainly one of the more understated ones 😊👍🏻
None of their pieces shout and especially the deadbeat seconds complication makes their watches even stealthier to the non-initiated 😉
But there’s so much content there 🙌🏻
Glad you like them. Got any yourself?
A true gem, the Joseph 🙌🏻👌🏻
Such an interesting regulator and with the deadbeat seconds no less 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes,I love the deadbeat seconds complication.
Still very tempted by their other commemorative watch,the Oskar moonphase.
You will not regret it 😊👍🏻
Got two more incomings from them but it takes a bit longer nowadays 😉 The side effects of success - and a first world problem 😊
Beautiful version 🙌🏻👌🏻
They can look so different from the same base but they all have the minimalism and wonderful proportions built in 👏🏻👍🏻
Very nice story and very nice watch!
The overall simplicity with subtle details like the very discreet Roman XII, the position of the subdial at 9 or the concentric circles pattern of this subdial are delightful.
Best, Emmanuel
That’s what makes the brand so appealing 🙌🏻👍🏻
As do the people behind it - always a pleasure 😊
Been a fan for many moons, 20yrs since the first encounter in Baselworld
Have owned a few, this gem resides still in my collection:
Enjoy yours,
Cheers,
