The 70s brought some memorable watch designs distinguished by daring case shapes and dial designs. HEINRICH watches is a german watch brand and its vision is to bring back the originality and reinvent this unique, funky and unconventional design era by creating high-quality neo-vintage watches that stand the test of time.
This vision belongs to creator Wolfgang Heinrich. Residing in the Stuttgart region and near to local historical watchmaking city of Pforzheim Wolfgang was born 1976 and has developed and cultivated a passion for watch craftsmanship and design. Being a recreational scuba diver with love for 70s watch designs combined with a first successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020 with the Taucher 1, Wolfgang is now introducing his second model, the Taucher 2.
Taucher, meaning “Diver” in german, is a 1970’s inspired tool watch that has been carefully designed and thought out to capture the originality of 1970’s era dive watches by creating a high-quality timepiece with a true new and unique neo-vintage design and not just another homage watch.
Company
HEINRICH watches is based in Stuttgart, southwest Germany within the state of Baden-Württemberg. While the idea creation, concept, sketching and design is done in Stuttgart we work closely together with global suppliers and our traditional Pforzheim-based watchmaker partner with decades of experience in the watch industry to bring our ideas to life and ensuring to produce a high-quality timepiece.
The HEINRICH Logo is derived from the coat of arms of Baden-Württemberg.
The watch
The Taucher 2 comes with high quality components combining vintage design with modern engineering.
Straight out of heaven One Taucher 2 model is with limited meteorite dial ☄️Each meteorite dial is unique with it‘s Widmanstätten pattern, formed due to the high temperature the meteorite is exposed to during its entry into the atmosphere.
As for the Taucher 1, HEINRICH watches also wanted to have a unique caseback for the Taucher 2. They took inspiration from vintage 70s printed media and dive magazines in order to be consistent with whole 70s look of the watch design. In this era the shark was the symbol of the evil predator even before "Jaws" was released. Today we know unfortunately mankind is the real threat for sharks. Wearing the martial caseback illustration on the wrist shall also have a symbolic character to embrace our fears and focus on our mission.
