Pictures tell more than thousands of words: My first AUSTRIAN watch with a very smart complication! Yours, Adam...

Hello Ádám! Happy Birthday and be careful with the beauty. Have fun with the CS. Cheers, Willi

my old Friend!!!!

Very very nice.

There're some similarities with PP 5550P, the Advanced Research. Brushed silver goes well with red gold. I do not know the watch; what's the smart complication? Best, Kari

Many thanks!

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 19th, 2017-08:06
You can see the solution here, from my quick and dirty picture from the movement: The wheel on the top of the movement is responsible for this little complication, all I can say until this time... ...  

I don't get it. [nt]

Jumping Second:

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 19th, 2017-08:28
the upper wheel stops the gear once in every second..

Cool.

 
 By: dr.kol : January 19th, 2017-08:48
Any idea of the price? Best, Kari

It is a bargain!

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 19th, 2017-08:57
The new models are going around for 5.500€, but with a total different dial. This one is the first version with the older movement, retail was 3.300€ four years ago.. Yours, Adam

A real bargain! [nt]

Movement ...

 
 By: Bikerwilli75 : January 19th, 2017-10:13
This is an A07M with the CS-bridge of the "newer" A09M calibre, which is based on ETA-7750-components. The new movement of Erwin (A11S) is 100% manufacture. ...  

Cool very cool

See you are preparing "Hateful Eight" for next GTG Cheers D

Hateful??? [nt]

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 19th, 2017-08:07

Of course...

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : January 19th, 2017-08:40
I hate you in italic with quotations marks

That is what I understood!

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 19th, 2017-09:27
But what is the eight?

Pieces you have to bring with you ;) [nt]

Superb Habring, and a very nice and discreet jumping seconds! I love the way every tick hits the markers spot on! Enjoy!

Thank you, Richard! [nt]

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 20th, 2017-10:48

Adam, what a wonderful watch...

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : January 20th, 2017-01:43
I shortly had exactly the same dial/hands combination (and the same complication as well!). I asked the Habrings to exchange them for a black&white combination for the added drama. Excellent choice, were warm in appearance, reminds me somehow on autumn's ... 

Many thanks, Magnus!

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 20th, 2017-10:50
But you still own another one with date as far as I remember, or not?

You have outstanding memories, Adam!

 
 By: Ornatus-Mundi : January 20th, 2017-23:44
I first had this version, indeed exactly as you said: ... and later asked them to convert it into this: Which is simply magical! Cheers, Magnus ...  

Hihi,

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 21st, 2017-00:27
Magnus! When did they make it this for you?

Well,

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 21st, 2017-01:14
than Habring is a birthday-watch!

;-) [nt]

lovely habring

my deadbeat second says HI ...  

Haha,

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 20th, 2017-10:51
thank you, gcTIME! You have a plus complication!

Happy Bday, my friend!

Happy birthday, Ádám!

 
 By: KMII : January 20th, 2017-23:30
And what a fitting way to treat yourself The jumping seconds are a typical Habring complication and you got a spectacular example! Völkermarkt or Vienna? Need to bring it with next time but more importantly, celebrate your birthday in style!

Many thanks, Kristjan!

 
 By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : January 21st, 2017-00:30
None of the above mentioned sources! From a private collector, a true friend of mine. I fighted for a year for the watch, he didn\'t want to sell it at all... Yours, Adam

Great choice!
