Hey Don, not only are the Habrings great watchmakers, they are...
... also a great couple and a great couple of people. When you call their shop, Maria is the one who actually answers the phone. I love them and I love my Habring2 Foudroyante. For anyone looking to purchase an independent watch, the Habrings are the place to start.

Habrings' Marketing Juggernaut
No doubt this award represents the work of the Habrings' huge international team of highly-paid marketing executives working tirelessly from offices around the globe employing generous slush funds to influence well-connected elite horology journalists. 
Or, it could be that they are a small company that makes fantastic watches with second-to-none quality control for customers who love value in fine watchmaking...customers like me. It could be that their personal touch and low overhead, combined with Richard's technical mastery, appeal to honest journalists and competition judges alike.
As it is so hard to know the truth, I suggest people must examine the Habring^2 product for themselves. I know I love my two watches from them. Of course, other than by the unfair influence of their workmanship, I don't think my opinions have been purchased.
Regards,
Jon
Congrats!
It was really a great and pleasant purchasing process. My small jumping second says "Congrats!", too!

Great success for a family business from an (almost) non-watchmaking country!
Well deserved …
… and well-celebrated:

It really seems to benefit Habring2 that they sticked to their philosophy and did not - like many others - try to milk the cows.
CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations and continued creative success!
I admire their work and appreciate their ability to customize and discuss options on their designs to meet the collector's desires.
They are truly great pieces and the designs will live on for generations to come.
Best to you all,
