And that’s precisely what the Taucher 2 has. But in all the articles I’d read, videos I’d watched, and podcasts I’d listened to, I hadn’t yet come across a steel ladder bracelet. And, of course, the design of Richard Mille can be pretty divisive. I know that the Speedmaster was on the Moon and that you can wear a Batman or Hulk on your wrist. Of course, I can distinguish between a Cartier Tank and a Patek Philippe Nautilus. All of the smaller engravings also feel well manufactured when you run your fingertip over themĪs mentioned initially, I am still relatively new to the watch world. On it is engraved a lion’s head on a black background - the logo of the microbrand and an allusion to the Baden-Württemberg state emblem. The Taucher 2 is water-resistant to 200 meters and features the large crown typical of a diver’s watch. It also makes a direct link to the previous model, which also had the wave pattern on the bezel. Talking about recurring elements, the wave engraving on the outside of the bezel looks neat and appears to be of rather high quality. This recurring element is a nice touch that’s only noticeable upon closer inspection. The unidirectional 120-click bezel, just like the dial, features an inset steel element. If you fan no-date timepieces, the brand will also offer those. Only the date indicator looks a bit lost on the dial. Nevertheless, the elongated hour indexes coated with Super-LumiNova C3 are visible from any angle. The box-shaped sapphire crystal enhances this effect.

A wide stainless steel ring was placed on the enamel dial, which gives the watch a visual depth.

Heinrich Watches uses a reliable and well-known movement. This doesn’t make the Taucher 2 stand out directly from the competition, but it does everything right. The brushed stainless steel case contains the Swiss Sellita SW200-1 Elaboré movement. We have a case that measures 41mm in diameter and around 42mm from lug tip to lug tip. Even if the name lacks a bit of creativity, a second and third look at the watch is worth it for the details. The next dive watch from the brand is the Taucher 2, which will be sold directly through pre-order on the brand’s website. Now the watch’s follow-up is almost ready to launch. It’s a diving watch with the simple name - Taucher (“Diver” in English). Financed through a Kickstarter project, the brand then brought its first watch to market later that year. His idea was to create a tribute to the diving watches of the ’70s in combination with current specifications. Between all these international heavyweights, Wolfgang Heinrich founded the microbrand Heinrich Watches in 2021. Porsche has its origins here as well as Mercedes-Benz. Stuttgart, in the southwest of Germany, is primarily known for its car manufacturers. A microbrand brand meets the newcomer watch enthusiast. So let’s dive together into my first hands-on review of the Taucher 2 from Heinrich watches. When I got a call asking if I would like to review a watch from a microbrand, I didn’t hesitate for a second. It just means that there is still a lot to discover. I’m far from expert status, but that doesn’t hurt my enthusiasm for the watch world.

I’m a guy in my twenties who likes to watch soccer, and lately, I’ve also been into watches.

Let’s start honestly: this is going to be something new, and particularly so for me.
