To celebrate its 21st birthday, TimeZone collaborated with Habring² to present the Erwin 21 Jumping Seconds, reference TZ21.
The Erwin is an evolution of Felix, the first Habring² watch with their in-house Calibre A11 movement developed, manufactured and assembled in Austria. The Erwin in-house Calibre A12 movement has an additional module for a dead beat (jumping) seconds hand.
The ref. TZ21 is a simple, three hand timepiece with an exclusive sector dial of meticulous detail and hand finishing. The 38.5 mm stainless steel case is hand brushed with a stepped bezel that frames a stunning multi-tone sector dial the recalls the legendary sector dials from the 1930s.
The sector dial is divided into four concentric segments with different surface finishes. The combination of brushed, matte and polished finishes adds a sense of depth and variation as light plays across the dial. At its center, the silvery-gray dial is hand brushed. The silvered hour sector is matte and printed with crisp dial markings and numerals in midnight blue. Finally, a mirror-polished silver ring separates the outer railway.
Another particularity of the dial is that the outer railway five minute divisions are perfectly aligned with the dead beat (jumping) seconds hand. The dial is fitted with heat-blued feuille (leaf-shaped) hands for optimal legibility.
Turning the timepiece over is a further delight with a display back that reveals the workings of the in-house Calibre A11S dead beat movement. Each caseback is engraved, "Habring² X TimeZone" and is individually numbered in this small production of 21 editions. Completing the timeless design, the ref. TZ21 is fitted with a simple blue leather strap.
