On its dial, the ERWIN LAB02 is a simple, three hand timepiece with a contrast silver and rose gold sector dial. The 38.5 mm stainless steel case is polished with a step bezel that frames a sector dial that recalls the legendary sector dials from the 1930s. The sector dial is divided into four concentric segments. The markings are a deep midnight blue and numerals of each segment are raised and finished in rhodium for depth.

Another particularity of the dial is that the outer railway five-minute divisions are perfectly aligned with the jumping seconds hand. The feuille hands are also rhodium finished. Altogether, the contrast of the rhodium elements against the rose gold and silver dial results in excellent legibility.

Turning the timepiece over is a further delight with a display back that reveals the workings of the fully in-house Calibre A11MS movement. Thanks to its patented architecture, the locking mechanism is mounted under a three-spoke bridge that puts the jumping seconds mechanism at center stage.

Every jumping second captivates the eye and can be enjoyed on both sides of the timepiece. Completing the sophisticated design, the Erwin LAB02 is fitted with a handmade Italian leather strap.

Introducing the Massena LAB x Habring² ERWIN LAB03, featuring a bronze, engine-turned dial by J.N. Shapiro and, for the first time ever, official Chronometer Certification from the Horological Society of New York.

The dial of the LAB03 was designed by William Massena and hand-crafted by Joshua Shapiro in his Los Angeles workshop.

The tone of the dial, which shifts from salmon to rose depending on the light, is the natural color of the bronze metal and is not the result of painting or plating as is common practice. The dial is then lacquered to prevent patination and discoloration. The dial of the
LAB03 is J.N. Shapiro’s first dial to utilize bronze.

J.N. Shapiro
uses an eighty-year-old straight-line guilloché machine to achieve the striking basketweave pattern, a centuries-old and arduous process which few dial makers will attempt today. The outer ring of the dial is then grained using Water of Ayr stone, a traditional watchmaking tool which is exceedingly rare today.

The markings on the dial, along with the hands, are a deep midnight blue, providing excellent legibility against the bronze metal. The leather strap of the LAB03 is made in Italy from deerskin, also in a deep blue tone.

The ERWIN LAB03 is made in Austria by Habring² with their in-house caliber A11MS hand-wound movement, featuring a patented deadbeat seconds complication. Turning the timepiece over reveals the movement, visible through a display back of sapphire crystal. The movement of the LAB03 has a unique and special finishing: it is first plated with a layer of rhodium, followed by a second layer of 5N rose gold.

The LAB03 is the first watch to receive official Chronometer Certification from the Horological Society of New York, America’s first watchmaking guild. A keen eye will observe that the movement of the LAB03 has been stamped with the official HSNY Seal.

Chronometer Certification from the HSNY indicates that a timepiece has met its rigorous testing protocols and has exceeded the international standards outlined in ISO 3159. Watches that pass the HSNY’s visual rate testing procedures are issued a physical certificate detailing that individual timepiece’s results, which is included with your delivery of the LAB03 .
