Description
The H2 CLASSIC is a striking small second timepiece, created in Hamburg for discerning watch enthusiasts who demand the highest in watchmaking standards.
Displaying the signature characteristics of Hentschel watches: domed sapphire crystal, gently arched dial, flame-blued, leaf-style hands, and minimalistic display, Hentschel once again succeeds in creating a robust timepiece with timeless features. The dial comprises a pristine white surface with black hour and minute indices markers as well as select numeral to facilitate legibility without crowding the overall aesthetic. Furthermore, the case features a subtle interplay of finely satinised surfaces and highly polished edges to deliver a distinctive depth and elegance from every angle. The clever application of satinised finishes to the more wear-exposed areas of the slimline case (like the bezel and lugs) serves to improve durability. Finally, the classic housing with tapered lugs not only enhances the traditional appeal of the piece but also ensures it is watertight and shock-protected for every day wear.
The H2 CLASSIC is designed to be a watch for life that adapts to every lifestyle. It wears comfortably under a shirt cuff and suit, is robust enough for daily wear, and turns heads in a more casual setting. This piece won’t disappoint.
Technical Specifications
Movement: In-house HUW 1130 S
The exclusivity of the piece continues in the interior of the NEW H2 CLASSIC with Hentschel’s new manufactory calibre: HUW 1130 S.
Completely redesigned on the basis of the long-standing AS 1130 hand-applied, hand-winding calibre. The work bridges have been redesigned and are now reminiscent of the aesthetics of the pocket watch calibre of the early 20th century. The swan neck fine adjustment makes it possible to precisely regulate the accuracy of the gait. All clockwork components have been optimised in terms of design, the focus being on a wear reduction and thus on the durability of the gears and the vibration system. Hentschel’s new manufactory calibre HUW 1130 S sets new technical standards by combining robustness with precision.
