Hanhart was, in 1924, the first watch manufacturer to launch the world's most affordable mechanical stopwatch. Hanhart put its first chronograph into production in 1938 with the legendary “Kaliber 40” single-button model, which has since become a sought-after item by both collectors and connoisseurs as a replica under the Primus name.
Hanhart makes its debut in the Middle East as the watches are now available at select Rivoli outlets in the UAE.
“Hanhart now presents its first exclusive chronograph range, which draws upon the tradition of the German Hanhart watch factory and incorporates Swiss state-of-the-art technology to make it so unique. Its name is a tribute: Primus,” remarked Patrick Tedde of Hanhart Middle East.
From Diessenhofen, the town where Hanhart was originally founded and where Hanhart AG today has its headquarters, a sporting chronograph collection in the most refined design has come on the scene, one which combines historical elements with the latest technology – and with the distinctive, unique trademark that has characterized Hanhart since 1938: the red button. This is a collection for connoisseurs and collectors, for people who make their own way in the world. The watch meets the highest qualitative demands precisely and robustly, and it combines the advantages that have distinguished Hanhart stopwatches since 1924.
Its sporting and refined image make it a sophisticated accessory which people like to wear especially when life becomes an experience. The names of the models in the range – Pilot, Racer and Diver – express these moments. Primus – this is the first and new generation of Hanhart chronographs with German Engineering - Swiss Made.
