Afternoon all. I'm mulling over a Habring2 Edwin Foudroyante (once finds permit again) and whilst it looks amazing in pics I know I'll not get the chance to see one in the metal unless I'm very lucky.
Would be grateful to hear perspectives from people who either own or have handled Habring2 watches to see what you impressions are of the craftsmanship
Never handled one, but he used to make the complications for iwc (split Chrono) and that’s good in my book.
Plus, he uses basic movements to put his complications on top.
And, this keeps me up at night:

If I remember correctly a foudrohant came up for sale on SC about 5 years ago, so someone here had one.
Looked amazing so always remembered it
Now that one on the link is what I call a limited edition, just 5 watches. Not overly keen on the text of the sub dials overlapping though.Originally Posted by thedontheniro
Can't speak from personal experience but I've heard nothing but good things about them. The only drawback is that due to the modular design they can be on the thicker side, but that's the tradeoff for such competitive pricing on the complications
Tried one on - quality is fantastic. Not too enthused with their case designs - a bit boring. And finally not sure if the whirling foudroyante hand would annoy me after a while....
The monopusher above is really nice btw, never knew it existed!
I got my Felix a few years ago and I'm really pleased with it, here is how it looks when I've got it.

Lovely Felix Jocke :)
