Habring²

Also recorded as: Habring2 · Habring · Habring Uhrentechnik · Richard Habring

Austrian husband-and-wife workshop known for affordable mechanical complications, from monopusher and split-seconds chronographs to its own Felix calibre.

Richard Habring worked at IWC in Schaffhausen, where he was involved in developing the simplified split-seconds mechanism of IWC's Doppelchronograph of the early 1990s. In 2004 he and his wife Maria Kristina founded Habring² in Völkermarkt, in southern Austria; the squared name stands for the two of them.

The workshop builds chronographs, split-seconds watches, deadbeat seconds and other complications on modified base movements and, since the mid-2010s, on its own calibre Felix.
