Brand Heritage – Hanhart

Founded in Switzerland in 1882 and relocated to southern Germany in 1904, Hanhart has specialized in robust, precision mechanical stopwatches and pilot’s chronographs. Its flagship “Primus” series earned acclaim from both the German Navy and early aviators for its exceptional visibility and ease of use.
