Introduction and History On 1 July 1882, the Swiss watchmaker Johann A. Hanhart opened a watch shop in Diessenhofen, in north-eastern Switzerland. In 1902, he relocated his business to Schwenningen, southern Germany. In 1924, Hanhart launched its first stopwatch. From 1932 following the death of his father, Wilhelm Julius Hanhart concentrated on manufacturing raw movements. In 1938, the first single-button chronograph with the "Calibre 40" entered series production, pilots chronographs followed in 1939. In the following years, Hanhart concentrated on the production of time measuring instruments.THIS IS A SUPER RARE ONE IN A LIFE TIME FIND IN ALL ORIGINAL UNTOUCHED CONDITION MILITARY HANHART CHRONOGRAPH.
