Shooting Habring2 36mm with various lenses
By: KIH : August 12th, 2011-05:46
TGIF... I took a day off and shot the new Habring2 36mm version with various lenses (and cameras) as the new custom strap just arrived. Nikon D700 + 105mm VR macro: standard macro today, not a great lens, but very convenient with VR (can use as a handheld...
Wonderful pictures and watch.

I really like the combination of dial/hands/numerals that you ended up with--it all works extremely well together. Cheers, Daniel
The process consuemd their time prety much.

I asked for at least 4 rendering generated by computer and took perhaps 2 months. But in the end, their recommendations helped a lot. Printed or applied numerals, silver or black, date at 4:30 or 6 or 3 or.... Very patient people they are! Ken
Thanks...

Thanks for the images - that's a great watch, and 36mm would be just right for me. The Lumix LX-5 is an excellent camera for the size and price, and I'm constantly amazed at the quaity of the images we get from it. The close-up is particularly good. nick
I agree about Lumix 5

... sometimes convenience and quality wins Nikon heavy hitter DSLR, 10 times more expensive :-(
Congrats, Ken! I'm so happy for you!

Your photos really capture all the charm of Habring watches. They are unique, and have a wonderful handcrafted quality. The ability to personalize your Habring 2 makes each individual watch special. Your piece is no exception. I hope you enjoy the watch a...

of a really nice watch. I like the sober dial very much. Great piece, thanks for showing! Best Andreas
Thanks, Davo-san.

The strap goes well with this dial.
Lovely post, Ken, from many angles ...

Very interesting to see the lenses/cameras and even better to see this lovely Habring2. I completely approve of your aesthetic decisions regarding the dial and hands. Looks perfect. It would be interesting to take the same posed picture with different cam...
Thanks Andrew!

Yes, I agree it might be more interesting to compare the lenses and camera if taken at the same pose - but then again, I thought, this was not the photography forum, so I just played with them. But thanks for your approval comment. Much appreciated! Ken
Tastefully done Ken

Both watch and pics. are just superb! The 36mm is perfect for you as a dress watch. Is this in SS BTW? Did you ever consider not having a date but a Breguet 6 in its place? Just something I would have a hard time deciding. Big Congrats for such a beautifu...
Thanks! yes, it is SS.
By: KIH : August 13th, 2011-21:01
Well, I thought about no-date... But I came to think that I have enough three hands only watches and date would be convenient at the office - so I went with the date! Ken
Very nice watch Ken

The blued seconds hand is a masterful touch. And the 36mm diameter makes for a classic feel. Hmmm, I might need to start thinking about a second Habring soon. Congratulations. Regards, Richard.
Oh, yeah, you should..

Simple and elegant
By: ztirual : August 13th, 2011-01:19
I find your watch very harmonious. A beautiful, highly reliable daily beater regulated by the Habrings expert hands.
Thank you!
By: KIH : August 13th, 2011-21:03
Very nicely done by Habrings. I like simplicity and elegance in the dress watch and this is very within that ballpark and strike zone for me! Ken
Official congrats Ken!

Now that you have the final look of your unique Habring with the custom strap. Beautifully executed! Their lacquer dial is just gorgeous and your white index markers with black quarter marker with a blued jumping seconds hand is a tasteful choice! I have ...
Good point..

.. I haven't checked the change of timing when fully wound and little wound left. I will check and will report back later on. Thanks!
gorgeous!

looks great on your wrist--and I love thecontrats between the indices and the numerals. congrats again and wear in the best of health J
Lovely photos of a very pretty watch!
By: Gary G : August 15th, 2011-00:58
Ken, that is one tasteful piece (no surprise there, to be sure). I really like the design choices that you made -- and expect that this one is going to be getting a lot of wrist time. Great to see all of these varied shots made with familiar (to me) equip...
Very nice...
