Naturally, this is my favorite!

The blued second hand is the best variant if I do say so myself, LOL!  One thing that a Habring dead seconds does that is extremely vital in this complication is that it stops DEAD right on the minute indicator -- the jump is strong, clean and lands exactly, not a little ahead or behind the indicator.  Some dead seconds watches cannot claim the same.  The A07M movement is a very precise timekeeper.  I love mine.  It's my favorite watch.

Kudos to Maria and Richard, and thanks Magnus for this continuing series of lovely posts on two of the nicest, talented people in the watch industry.

Cheers,
Daos

The Habring2 Jumping Seconds watch

This watch really shows what Habring 2 can deliver! A dead-beat (or jumping seconds) watch with as little parts a possible, easily added to an existing movement. It adds only a mere dozen parts (compare this to other existing dead-beat watches on the mark...

Do you know whether the jumping seconds mechanism can be added to an existing Unitas 6497 movement? DJK

Lastly I'd like to present the new, smaller case Habring 2 offer. Catering both for female wrists as well as for people with smaller wrists, Maria and Richard decided to offer their manufacture movement in a 36mm (compared to the normal 42mm) case. For re...
