Independents: A Tremendous Achievement

I am the proud owner of two Habring^2 watches and have always been impressed with their combination of practicality, chronometry, and individuality.

Independents: Excellent craft!

What I love about these watches is that they represent a hand-made craft that doesn't try to be anybody else's work. The aesthetic is personal to Mr. Kikuno. The labor-intensive process of creating the dials is one that no businessman would ever choose, but artists have compulsions sometimes. Among
