  • Catalogue Essay

    An ingenious and innovative brand, Habring2 is known for the creation of attractively priced and cleverly constructed complications with a focus on chronographs, most notably monopushers and rattrapante. Born from the spirited husband and wife team of watchmakers Richard and Maria Habring, the brand was officially active from 2004.

    Joint in the creation of the present timepiece with the esteemed independent Austrian watchmakers is the equally famed and innovative online magazine Monochrome, whose focus is on fine watchmaking and horology. In 2021 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the blog, the brand released their very first collaboration timepiece, the Montre de Souscription 1. Sold exclusively via a limited subscription series of 33 pieces in stainless steel with a superb two-tone salmon dial, and sold out in minutes, the model took its inspiration from the elegant mono-pusher chronograph Habring2 Chrono-Felix powered by the Habring2 A11C-H1 movement.

    In 2021, Habring2 released their latest version of their cam-operated split-seconds complication, the A11R which is a rattrapante version of the calibre A11 that Habring2 introduced back in 2014. The present unique Monochrome X Habring2 is the synergy between the gorgeous two-tone salmon dial mono-pusher Montre de Souscription 1, with the latest rattrapante calibre A11R developed by Richard and Maria Habring. Charismatic and charming, the sector dial, paired with blued steel chronograph hands render the timepiece wildly attractive and sporty. Featuring various brushing and finishing to the case, the salmon dial radiates under different angles in spectacular hues capturing the attention of the beholder.

    Offered in pristine condition the present timepiece is an incredibly rare and unrepeatable opportunity to own a unique timepiece that was never commercialized and whose beautify, and charm is sure to impress even the most discerning of collectors. Please note that all the proceeds from the present timepieces will be donated by Maria and Richard Habring and Monochrome Watches to the Save the Children charity.

    Save the Children is an NGO who champions the rights and interests of children worldwide and responds to major emergencies, delivers development programmes and ensures children's voices are heard though their campaigning.
