Habring2 is captivating and very tempting
I've heard about Habring, read about it, seen plenty of pictures, but upon seeing it in the metal today, all that I've heard, read and seen seems to describe just a tiny bit of how well they're crafted and more importantly, how comfortable they are on the wrist and how really legible they are.
I'm hooked, and I personally think this is excellent value for money. The fact that these are relatively inexpensive, it is getting hard to resist walking away with at least one :-| I'm leaning toward the handwound simple time only models, but the foudroyante is also very compelling...if only the case wasn't all polished.

You hit the nail on the head!
Shopping for a Hanring2 is a pure joy. I felt the same as you when I went to my AD and met Maria and Richard. They bring the kitchen sink with them! In the end, I liked so many different combos, that I had them make me the package I wanted. And no extra c...
That's a beautiful combo you have there
I think the foudroyante is cool, the only thing is the one that's on display has a fully polished case while I would prefer one that is satin brushed. And that blue/grey strap is very nice. Care to share a picture of the back with the engraved balance coc...
Have you also tried the new Felix?
Actually a visit to their manufacture is overdue, they are only a two hour drive away - need to make some time, soon. Just curious what the new Felix looks / feels like - it appears quite appealing on pictures but has anyone handled it in real life? Btw. ...
I will shoot it tonight and post tomorrow Thx
Btw, I am sure you can request the case treatment you want. Joe
Superb. Thanks for accommodating!
That engraved balance cock gives the watch a whole new premium look! Nice!

I think it's risky for me to be in Singapore
I eventually went home with one last night. Will share that in a different post. As for the blue watches, the one with the central dead beat seconds is the Sincere Watch edition with a jumping seconds complication while the one with the sub dial is the Ti...
Thanks Richard ! It's it's dangerous indeed
I already read what happened lol ! :) Will reply you there Cheers Robin
I've just picked up the Foudroyante...
...and I love it. Dead seconds *and* a Foudroyante. Two of the strangest complications - one to speed things up and one to slow them down. ...
A very apt description
One fast and one slow, but both adding to the intrigue of the watch. Congratulations on your acquisition...do share more pictures when you can :-)
You seem to be cought Richard!
I saw one in the metal on the wrist of a collector one or two years ago and it looked great indeed. Thanks for sharing a wide array of models :) Cheers, Mark
