* The Erwin Globetrotter is a modified take on the original Erwin model which offers a dead beat centre second hand. Globetrotter still offers this dead beat function but also includes an integrated and adjustable 24-hour GMT hand, operated by a recessed button by the 4 o'clock position on the case. The red pointer hand stands off the silver dial beautifully and 24 hour time is displayed around the dial in Arabic numerals between the hour markers.
* Both minute, hour and second hand are blued, contrasting against the 24-hour hand nicely and the watch is contructed within a 38.5mm steel case with polished bezel and shoulders with sapphire glass front and back, the latter displaying the in-house produced A11S-24H manual wind movement. Fitted to a 20mm brown leather strap on pin buckle.

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.
