Such a refined and detailed art work. As everyone says, difficult to catch on pictures. They only want to do 3 hand watches and they do it so well. In every detail.

I think you can call the purists. Sometimes it gives the illusion that there is no glass at all. You feel you can touch the hands.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Hentschel H2 Sport P20 is lauded for its 'purist' design, where simplicity and meticulous detail create an illusion of hands almost touching the viewer, enhancing its artistic appeal.
The Hentschel H2 Sport P20, despite its exceptional quality, remains largely 'under the radar' in the luxury watch market, a characteristic appreciated by collectors who value its exclusivity.
While the H2 Sport P20 is typically paired with a leather strap, jlc.thomsen experimented with a Milanese bracelet, originally purchased for an Omega CK, an idea even approved by Hentschel, who usually reserves this bracelet for their sports models.
The discussion also features other high-horology wristshots, including a Patek Philippe Ref. 5170P and a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Tourbillon, showcasing the diverse tastes within the collector community.

Thank you Michael.

Milanaise bracelets are back to stay I think. They give a nice variations to dress watches.

Thank you my friend.

I wasn’t sure, and bought the bracelet for another watch, but thought I’d give it a try. Hentschel approved og the idea too. Normally they use the milanese for their sports models.
