Habring² Repeater
A contemporary interpretation of a classic – sound good?
That’s because it is! Boutique Austrian watchmaker Habring2 has developed a special musical brother to join the collection. The Felix Five Minute Repeater is bound to impress those who love the engineering and tradition behind fine watchmaking. It’s clean surfaces and matt finishes complement the modern treatment Habring2 gives this special calibre which is a blend of Habring2’s in-house A11 calibre and a Dubois-Depraz D90 Five-Minute Repeater module. However, the sleek finish and attractive aesthetics are not the only special aspects of this piece. Its defining feature is the crystal clear chime of the repeater which occurs as a result of the titanium case in which it is housed. Another enhancement from the team at Habring2 is the water resistance of 3ATM (30m) making it water tight against splashes and accidental brief contact with water in a class of watches that normally do not offer this feature. Habring2’s Repeater proves that fine watchmaking, contemporary design and technical precision can go hand in hand for a resounding success.
This is a unique piece of horological design and superb craftmanship from the much-loved, Austrian watchmaking duo Maria and Richard Habring.
