	History
	TheOriginal Hanhart pilot watches since 1939. The reputation of Hanhart rests on a 115 years old tradition in the manufacture of high precision mechanical watches 1924 Hanhart started with the production of mechanical stopwatches and in 1939 a pilots chronograph was produced. The watch became famous for its precision and was eagerly sought after in professional circles. Its characteristic features were the revolving bezel, a lifesaver for pilots, the asymetric button distances and the leather strap with the safety rivets. The greatest number of purchasers were professional pilots. After the second world war even Hanhart could not avoid the dismantling measures. However production of the pilot chronograph restarted in 1948, in the first instance just for the French army and then later for the newly formed Germany army forces. Unfortunately production continued only until 1962, when the decision was made to cease production of the pilots chronograph. In 1997 the legendary pilots chronograph was again being manufactured. However this time in limited editions of 2500.
