Habring² x Massena Lab Erwin LAB02
Description
This is the Habring² x Massena Lab Erwin LAB 02. Habring² is an independent brand founded by Austrian couple, Maria Kristina and Richard Habring. While the name may seem have been unfamiliar to the most in the past, all has changed with the rise in popularity of the independents. Richard Habring has credentials as good as any watchmaker, and was the man in charge of producing the rattrapante, or split-seconds chronograph, at IWC. Together with his wife, Maria, they produce a very limited number of watches a year (less than 50) with their eponymous brand, Habring². William Massena is an industry heavyweight, serving his time at early watch forum Timezone to running Antiquorum. He founded Massena Lab, his own brand, in 2018 and began collaborating with various independent brands to produce a slew of timepieces with his distinct design language.
The Erwin LAB02 was the second collaboration between the two independents. Based on the Habring² favourite Erwin model, the Erwin LAB02 is clearly vintage-inspired with modern influences. Housed in a moderately sized stainless steel case, the sector dial is split into four segments with an outer railway track. At the back, the movement is the brand's in-house Cal. A11MS with their signature complication - the deadbeat seconds, which is excellently finished, especially for its price point and visible through the sapphire caseback.
Given that the total production of the LAB02 was limited to 50, it was no surprise that this launch was sold out immediately. While Habring² was under the radar once upon a time, the brand is no stranger to collaborations and is among the most sought after due to their relative affordability, aesthetic beauty and technical prowess. In addition, the brand keeps their timepieces relatively affordable. With the growing appreciation of independents, it’s easy to see why Habring² is one of the most beloved brands in horology today.
