If you don’t know Habring, you’re doing yourself a disservice.

The brand, founded in 2004 by the husband-and-wife team of Richard and Maria Kristina Habring, has been building some of the finest contemporary timepieces of the past 20 years. Richard, who was previously a technical developer with IWC and A. Lange & Söhne, develops with his wife everything from gorgeous time-only pieces to stunningly complicated chronographs, several of which use in-house calibers. 

This particular Habring, the Foudrayante Felix Date, is a stunningly well executed, modern pointer-date watch. Housed in a 42mm stainless steel case, it features a sapphire crystal, an unsigned crown, and a polished beel. Its brushed silver dial is a thing of beauty: It’s adorned with a yellow gold spear handset and matching Arabic and baton indices, an outer date ring with a black bracket pointer hand, and a frosted foudroyante (“flashing seconds”) subdial at 9 o’clock. But that’s not all: Powered by the A11F manually-wound movement, the watch features a “deadbeat” seconds complication, meaning that the seconds appear to jump like those of a quartz watch. This rare complication ensures accurate seconds readings despite a mechanical power source. 

Paired to a brown leather strap with an unsigned, stainless steel pin buckle and showing only normal wear throughout, this handsome Habring from the 2020s is accompanied by much of its ephemera.
