This video is part 1 of 2. Richard Habring is a talented watchmaker who, while working at International Watch Company, developed their rattrapante mechanism, worked on their tourbillons and later designed their mechanical depthmeter. Until recently he also worked for A. Lange & Söhne and now is independent. "I grew up among watches and clocks although Im the first watchmaker in my entire family. My mother, as a trained saleswoman, opened a little watch and jewelry shop in my home village, which was in a remote Austrian province. My father had his own company that distributed watch bracelets and represented a German wholesaler that carried "everything for a watchmaker's needs" - tools and machinery. My initial "spark" began at the workshop of a friend of my father, in nearby Klagenfurt, the capital of Carinthia. That company was more than 100 years old, and had a workshop 5 times larger than the shop. Probably I was 5 or 6 years old then, and just reaching the table to look at those interesting technical things going on there. So it was quite clear very early that "I will become a watchmaker"! -- Richard Habring in an interview with Time Zone. FACEBOOK:   / ablogtowatch   TWITTER: @aBlogtoWatch
