* This new release for 2018 sees the Jumping Second Pilot model integrated with an additional pointer date complication. The satin finished case and luminous Arabic numerals at the 12,3,6 and 9 position remain, yet within the inner part of the dial displays days of the month indicated by an additional pointer arm fitted at the central axis. This way of displaying the date adds a touch more balance to the dial as opposed to the standard cutaway date window traditionally used.
* The matte white dial, easy to read numerals and tan strap make for a visually pleasing design, whilst the in-house developed A11S automatic movement with dead beat centre second complication is visible through the sapphire glass back.

Habring² can quite possibly lay claim to being the smallest watch manufacturer in the world, certainly the only watch manufacturer in Austria!
Maria and Richard Habring, who are the driving force behind Habring² founded the company in 1997 Volkermarkt, Austria in a fourth and fifth floor studio surrounded by lakes and mountains and proceeded to develop and produce a range of fine mechanical watches for which Austria was once so famous back in the 19th century.
Habring² produce a range of technically inventive mechanical watches such as tourbillons, the previously world exclusive and now much copied jumping second and a range of chronographs, which all share a classic, timeless design and are characterised by reliability and suitability for everyday wear.
Richard Habring, who’s career started as a watchmaker under his mentor Günter Blümlein at IWC played a major role in the development of the double chronograph and is now, with his wife Maria reconnecting with the great Austrian history of watchmaking by producing their own range of excellent mechanical wristwatches.
