CHRONOGRAPHS FOR MILITARY OPERATIONS

The origin of Hanhart chronographs has never been representing fashion accessories or luxury items but in serving as reliable tools for pilots and military officers. The first legendary Hanhart pilots watch entered production in 1938 called the “Calibre 40”, which already had to withstand extreme vibrations, enormous temperature changes and further tough conditions. It ensured a perfect readability, even in the dark. Since then Hanhart chronographs have been produced under the claims of maximum precision and reliability, extreme legibility, simple and secure operation, and the greatest possible robustness.

STOPWATCHES FOR SPORTS AND INDUSTRY

It was as early as 1924 that Hanhart launched the world’s first affordable stopwatch. The great success of this model laid the foundation for becoming the leading company in the stopwatch sector. In the 1960s every school and sports club in Germany used Hanhart stopwatches for timekeeping. There hasn’t been any international sports and motorsport competitions without a Hanhart stopwatch keeping the time. Nowadays, those tool watches are still requested for school and sports equipment as well as particularly in industrial and laboratory areas, where the proven quality and precision of Hanhart stopwatches are much appreciated. That’s why Hanhart is still the European leading manufactory for mechanical stopwatches.

In 2015, Hanhart designed one of the bests-selling watches in its history – the PRIMUS Survivor Pilot. This watch was strictly limited to just 50 pieces and it was immediately sold out, even before entering production!

The new Hanhart PRIMUS Black Ops Pilot takes all the benefits of its predecessor model and develops itself to an ultimate toolwatch for outdoor operations. The black DLC-coated case features a higher scratch resistance and robustness compared to stainless steel, which is perfect for any outdoor activitites. Additionally, it gives the watch a more uncompromising look. The black case design and the bronze green dial complement one another to create a striking appearance with the highest functionality and legibility.

HIGH SPEED ON THE TRACK

Born on January 14, 1988 in Ellwangen, Florian Spengler had motor racing in his DNA right from birth. He accompanied his father for karting almost every weekend until he found his passion for Motocross. By the time he was 18, he had fought his way up at the Volkswagen Motorsport talent scouting where he convinced through a flawless performance. In 2010, Florian finished championship of the ADAC Procar in third place and proved that he had not been given the drive simply by fortune. Besides his studies in civil engineering, Florian kept on working on his motorsports career by successfully participating in the ADAC GT Masters as well as Porsche Carrera Cup Germany.

Today, the young Pilot proves his passion for speed in the world’s fastest one-brand-series, the Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe, where he pushes boundaries to the limits.

HIGH SPEED IN THE AIR

German native Claudius Spiegel has shown more than great promise. Having started flying gliders at the age of 13, he has since become not only First Officer on the Airbus A320 for SWISS International Airlines, but also one of Germany’s best aerobatic pilots. Claudius earned his aerobatic rating in 2008 at Matthias Dolderer’s flying school. Just 12 flights after beginning training in the Extra 300S, he went on to take fourth place in his first German National Championships in 2009. Evolving through the different categories, he became the German National Aerobatic Champion in the Advanced class in 2012, and one year later the 2013 German National Freestyle Aerobatic Champion in the Unlimited category.

In 2014, Claudius moved up into the Red Bull Air Race World Championship and reached his lifelong dream of becoming one of the most exclusive pilots. Aged 25, he was the youngest pilot ever to get in the cockpit of the Red Bull Air Race and to win the Polish Gdynia in the Challenger Cup.
