* The Doppel38 is Habring's new evolution from the original Doppel 2.0. released back in 2012. Whilst still keeping the fabulous manually wound rattrapante chronograph function, Doppel38 features a slimmed down case of 38mm with 41mm bezel lip to create a sleeker less obtrusive watch. The dial is also somewhat dressier, with finely grained silver dial, sunken sub-dial registers in circular grain finish and beautifully blued, leaf shaped hands.
* The watch is powered by the in-house A11R, manually wound movement, visible through the sapphire glass case back, offering a power reserve of 48-hours, anti-magnetic escapement with Carl Haas hairspring and is hand finished throughout.

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.
