Wristscan: Highlighting the Independents
Here is the summary of the Independents submitted to this week's wristscan on Limited Editions.
Be-Ba Chronometer: A very rare timepiece which many of us have never heard of. Maybe 8 pieces exist. Some gorgeous pictures and info here
Nord Zeitmachine Variocurve: A few versions exist. V1 had a limited run of 99 pieces. I found an extensive review here
Lang and Heyne Hektor: 2 members submitted this watch for the event. It was only recently released a few months ago. A limited run of 33 pieces for each of the 3 colours (total 99 pieces). A comprehensive review here
Habring2 Prototype: This can be customised by working with your AD, for example, Passion Fine Jewellery at Solana Beach California. An example of 15 pieces with a special lumed dial was reviewed here
Habring 2 Timezone Edition: 21 units were produced. It has a unique stepped bezel, a sector dial, and jumping seconds. A comprehensive review here
Habring 2 COS ZM - I believe this watch was a finalist for GPHG. It has various small runs of different dial variations.
Habring2 Australis Edition - I cannot find a review for this rare piece. It exists. Please refer to Pplater's entry for this unique entry
Hentschel P20 Edition for Watchprosite: A very small batch of 20 made for this LE for Watchprosite. More info here
H Moser & Cie Endeavor Funky Blue Dial. An LE of 100 pieces. A comprehensive review here
H Moser & Cie Endeavor Dual Time Tourbillon: the grey-dial version submitted by Timeout is elusive. 20 pieces exist, and no pictures are found by my search on the net. Rare elusive bird...darn
H Moser & Cie Pioneer Govberg Edition (with a diving bezel): A 100 piece LE. Mach has done a review here
H Moser & Cie Streamliner Flyback Chronograph: A 100 piece LE. SJX, a missing member from this site had written about this here
Moritz Grossman Benu Platinum: a 25 piece LE: I couldn't find a press release on it, but found a similar model in Gold which had a slightly larger production run compared to the platinum
SUF Helsinki 180 Green: This was only made in 26 pieces for the green variant. From time to time, he releases new dial colours such as the recent Turquoise piece. A review can be found here
Azimuth "Back in Time": 80 pieces were made for the version Watchnut posted. A few dial variations exist. A review is found here
McGonigle Tuscar: 10 pieces were made for the LE posted by Pplater. I guess when an LE is made in such small numbers, watch review sites do not cover them because they are that rare.
Parmigiani Fleurier Tondagraph GT: I believe 200 were made in this version. A great comprehensive review was written here
Ming Watches: They make small production run. KMII has posted 1/150 and 1/25 version too.

I love a good Moser …
Let’s see a few more over at WristScan this weekend Link: www.watchprosite.com ...
So lucky to have that piece
In my idea of watch Heaven, a Moser Govberg will be good enough. Goldilocks kinda right…not too soft not too hard, just right.
Extremely lucky! Especially, when there is no official announcement!
Hopefully, this also means we will see some smaller case diameter Pioneers in the near future.🤞
Dear Cookies, many thanks for your great work!
Just to complete the list: Moser first made a limited edition Pioneer Model with rotating bezel ( diver ) under the reference: 3200-1204: Picture courtesy of me. It was the very first Diver Model from the brand and also the first Moser which comes with a ...
Thanks buddy
Very disruptive advertising they are using. It’s the level of a top advertising firm at work..maybe Saatchi and Saatchi or Olgilvy.
It plays on the 'You Can't Have It' or typical 'It's Not Yours' human psychology.
Imho it would have been more effective to not have mentioned the name of the company at all in the main text (it's mentioned not just once, but a bit pushy twice so it comes off...). Instead, the text should read... (fixed it below). Then a smaller logo a...
A most humble thanks.
It's also about 'word play' and 'reading flow'. Psychologically, imho, you also 'make' the reader look at the logo / URL to see who it is, thus it causes humans to seek it out . As always, jmho.
