In the latest volume of the Watch Book series published by teNeues Verlag, the successful author once again focuses on the fascinating world of timekeeping. The comprehensive new work sheds light on the history of the wristwatch in Germany and in particular on the traditional Hanhart brand, which has stood for precision and innovation for over 140 years.

This book tells the story of the brand in impressive pictures and exciting anecdotes, shows the important milestones and deals with the challenges it has had to overcome over the years in the dynamic watch industry.
The hardcover book is available in 24.5 x 31.4 cm format and is ideal for use as a coffee table book. The information text on each page of the book is written in both German and English. The price is 80 euros incl. VAT.
