Introduction

Founded in 2004 by husband-and-wife duo Richard and Maria Habring in the small town of Völkermarkt, Austria, Habring2 produces some of the most understated and technically impressive timepieces on the market for their relatively affordable price points. Among their long list of accomplishments is the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) award that their Doppel 2 won in 2012 in the sports watch category, which only goes to show their impressive talents as watchmakers. Further showcasing those talents is the Chrono-Felix Monopusher Chronograph A11C-H1 Shellman Edition that we have here. A remarkable timepiece that epitomizes precision and elegance, the Shellman Edition is a collaboration with the Japanese retailer Shellman that features the brand's distinct aesthetic, combining classic and contemporary elements throughout its dial and 38.5mm stainless steel construction. Powered by the in-house A11C-H1 movement, the Chrono-Felix ensures impeccable accuracy and reliability. Its clean dial design, adorned with subtle yet sophisticated details such as its scales, enhances readability and adds to its timeless appeal. The watch's 38.5mm stainless steel case is equally robust and elegant, with its sloped bezel and intricate steel bracelet lacking any endlinks that would give it a modern feeling on the wrist. Limited in production, the Shellman Edition is a testament to Habring2's dedication to horological excellence and bespoke craftsmanship, making it a coveted piece for collectors and watch enthusiasts alike.
