History of Habring2
Habring2, founded in 2004 by husband-and-wife team Richard and Maria Habring, represents a unique approach to modern watchmaking. Based in Völkermarkt, Austria, this independent brand has gained recognition for producing high-quality timepieces that blend traditional craftsmanship with innovative engineering. They are also notable in their exceptional efforts to source materials and manufacturing for their watches in the company’s home state of Austria. Richard Habring's background at IWC Schaffhausen, where he developed the affordable rattrapante chronograph mechanism, laid the foundation for Habring2's philosophy of creating accessible complications. The brand's commitment to reliability, serviceability, and limited production has earned them a loyal following among watch enthusiasts.
A significant milestone for Habring2 was the introduction of their in-house A11 movement in 2014, which forms the basis for many of their watches. This modular movement allows for the addition of various complications, from simple date functions to complex chronographs and jumping seconds mechanisms. Habring2's notable models include the Doppel 2.0, Felix, Erwin, and Perpetual-Doppel, showcasing their ability to create interesting complications at more accessible price points. Despite challenges faced by small independent watchmakers, Habring2 has garnered several awards at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, cementing their reputation in the watchmaking world. As they continue to refine and expand their in-house capabilities, Habring2 remains a testament to the creativity and vitality of independent watchmaking in the 21st century.
