Independents

Greetings to all!  As promised, a few photos from the light tent of the Habring Doppel.  The good news for you is that I somehow deleted my longer first version of this post prior to hitting the "insert" button, so you'll be saved the lengthy narrative.  On to the photos!

Looking forward to spending some more time photographing this piece later, but in the meantime I hope you enjoyed these!

Best,

Gary G

I had forgotten that I took a few shots with my P&S after unboxing the watch yesterday.  So, one desktop photo:

..and a first wristshot!

Photos that any manufacturer would be delighted to have in a catalogue or on a website. Congratulations!

(Oh - and the watch ain't too shabby either...)

Cheers,
pplater.

I am very pleased that you liked these -- it was a lot of fun photographing this one, and I am looking forward to more opportunities to do so. 

Also looking forward to showing this one to you in person!

Best,

...for the brilliant shots, Gary!

They are beautiful!  You really bring out the soul of the piece in these pictures.  The blue of the dial is quite spectacular!  What a lovely watch!

Congrats again!

...looks like I may be headed that direction!  I do like this complication quite a bit -- the Habring/IWC embodiment is of course a lot different than the Lange version, but that makes it all the more interesting to me.

Gary G

...and liked it quite a bit!  I have a few comments on it in the post I just put up on KIH's visit to NorCal -- the combo of split seconds and big date is really appealing to me.

As for PP, I'll have to put more coins in my piggy bank before I add one of those...

I kinda think I'd prefer a solid back, but that is one sweet watch. Thanks for the pics!

The Habring solid back (as on the original Chrono) is very clean, just like the rest of the case design, and this movement is perhaps not the most photogenic.  That said, to the naked eye it looks quite nice, with a number of plated elements that pop visually and provide a nice contrast with the perlage. 

Appreciate your comment!

Best,

Gary

I'm just a solid case back kinda guy in general. It's gotta be something pretty special to make me want to see it through the back.

These photos belong on the Habrings website.

Very enjoyable for me to take these, and it brings me real pleasure that you enjoyed them.

I did receive a nice note from Maria, so I know that they have seen the photos -- I have no expectations that they will adopt any of them for use, to be sure!

Best,

Gary

but your pictures make me want to look at it closer !

Thanks for the very nice pictures

Thanks for your kind post, Mark!  I do think that the Habring watches are clean, well executed, and provide good value for money.  One could say many worse things about a watch!

Best,

Gary G

Nice and interesting movement.

 

Enjoy it.

...is interesting indeed, as it violated many of the established principles of rattrapante design to give many more people access to that particular complication.  A fun watch for me to wear, to be sure!

Best,

Gary G

a winning dial and color scheme!  and a classic complication that is a hallmark of the Habrings

 

many congrats again!

The blue dial is really pretty, and dark enough that it isn't jarring.  To be safe, I will probably buy a grey dial/strap set as a backup, just to have the option to choose later.

..A watch and especially with that blue dial I have also fallen in love with myself

That blue dial really is hypnotic!  I do love the Habring dials, and this one is no exception.

The Doppel 2.0 looks great!

Great to have it on my wrist!  Fits great, and a very clean presence on the wrist.

Best,

Gary
