Independents

Hello Everyone, New member here from Italy. I've been on watch forums for a number of years, but never had the pleasure of stumbling across watchprosite until I purchased a Habring Felix last autumn. Now, I basically live here in the Independents forum. A...  

Great watch from one of my favourite independent brand! Yours, Adam

And what an entrance with the Felix! A watch I very much admire and a great example of what is so cool about the brand! Hope to soon find the time for a visit to Völkermarkt Hope to see much more of your Felix and any other watches you may have here and a... 

What a nice welcome. I had such a great experience with the Habrings that I cannot get independent watchmaking out of my head! Besides two sentimental watches, this is the collection, ha ha! It is posing a problem, however. When buying I was convinced it ...  

So you will surely find whatever you desire Was actually thinking of getting the Felix as a more formal watch as well, so interested in your experiences there

Lovely piece. Classy 60s style.

Just the style I like...and I'm with you on the Independent focus. Cheers!

Yes, you're right. 10 years! It was only fitting that my 10 year anniversary is coming up. How could I refuse?

that is a truly stunning watch. their double split chrono is an all-time favorite of mine, and lovely people too

If it can stay around 12mm thick with the new movement, it will be hard to say no

I missed before: - the lowered logo on the movement - the engraved balance cock Are both tailor-made customisations? Best (and congrats!), Magnus

As we didn't speak about that and it seems to be what they are doing as of late. I don't mind it. It breaks up the plane a bit so is a bit more interesting. Originally, I had asked for some engravings on the movement plate, but Maria said it would be a bi... 

But I didn't want to overly complicate things and in the end she was right. As a first venture into the 'possibilities', I think it was a good first step.
