The Watch
Maria and Richard Habring founded Habring² in 1997 in Volkermarkt, Austria. Richard Habrings career started as a watchmaker at IWC under the mentorship of Günter Blümlein. He had a major role in the development of the double chronograph. With help from his wife, they are creating watches that continue the remarkable horology of Austria.
Here we have a 2020 Habring2 Chrono-Felix Salmon Monopusher. Its 38.5mm round stainless steel case has tapering curved lugs. The polished and brushed surfaces capture the light perfectly as you rotate your wrist. Between the bottom lugs, you find the engraved consecutive serial number. On the right side, we have a single pusher at 2 o’clock with a screw-down crown double-sealed just below at 3 o’clock. A slim polished bezel holds the spherical sapphire crystal with AR coating on both sides to help with reflections. The stunning Salmon dial has an inner minute ring. Arabic 12 with applied baton indexes mark the hours. Sunken registers at 3 ‘o’clock 30 minutes and at 9 o’clock continuous 60 seconds. Elegant dauphine hands are complemented by a fine tapered chronograph hand. On the reverse an exhibition case back with sapphire crystal. Inside an in-house Manually Wound Habring² A11C-H1, 25 jewels, 28,800 beats per hour. An antimagnetic escapement with a Carl Haas hairspring to Chronometer standards. KIF shock protection complies with DIN and NIHS standards. The movement has hand-applied perlage finishing and is mesmerising to watch its beating heart. The watch comes fitted on a Habring 20mm leather strap with a signed deployment clasp and comes with its Habring presentation box and papers.
Personal Note
This is now my favourite Habring2 I have had in stock or in hand, the salmon dial is beautifully finished, the monopusher chronograph reminds me of early vintage military chronographs, the size at 38.5mm is perfect on the wrist, it is just a beautifully made and well-executed watch.
