Few are aware that the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was composed of two ships: the renowned Endurance and the lesser-known syster ship the“Aurora.” Both vessels serve as remarkable testaments to human resilience. When Habring² and CronotempVs Collectors embarked on a mission to create a watch with unique characteristics, the journey led by Ernest Shackleton, which commenced in 1914, immediately came to mind. This adventure stands as one of the most extraordinary and enduring testimonies to human survival in history. Little did Shackleton and his crew realise that over a century later, the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition would continue to captivate the world’s imagination, not for achieving a specific goal, but rather for its remarkable ability to overcome extreme adversity. What more fitting way to honour these men and their three-year ordeal in the unforgiving Arctic than by creating an instrument that could have been an integral part of their journey, the Aurora itself?

The Aurora by Habring² closes the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition chapter. This unique timepiece never compromises on the clean and appreciated Felix DNA. From its double-domed sapphire glass to its intricate back engraving, the Aurora embodies elegance and serves as a reliable companion for extreme conditions.
