History of the Hanhart watch manufactory:

Hanhart specialises in the manufacture of stopwatches and high-quality chronographs. In 1882, the Swiss Johann Adolf Hanhart founded his watch manufactory in Diessenhofen, Canton Thurgau, and after 20 years moved it across the border to the watchmaking stronghold of Schwenningen in the Black Forest due to a shortage of watchmakers. His youngest son Wilhelm Julius Hanhart (* October 31, 1902 - † October 22, 1986) joined the company in 1920 at the age of 18. In 1924, Wilhelm Julius Hanhart launched the world's first affordable stopwatch, which was intended to rival the expensive Swiss makes.[1] The success of this watch formed the basis for the company's rise. From 1926, the production range was expanded to include wristwatches and pocket watches.

Johann Adolf Hanhart died in 1932. The reorientation of the company in the same year, which centered on the discontinuation of the retail business, turned out to be a success for the company. At that time, Hanhart employed 30 people, but by 1939 the number had risen to 200.[1] In 1934, the company expanded to its present location in Gütenbach in the Black Forest. In 1938, Hanhart developed its first indentor chronograph, the Calibre 40, a replica of which is still very popular among watch lovers today under the name Pioneer Mk i. Introduced in 1939, the single-pusher chronograph was issued to the Kriegsmarine and especially to the Luftwaffe. It was as popular with pilots during World War II due to its reliability and accuracy as the watches made by Tutima. In addition to these pilot chronographs, production of the two-pusher model caliber 41 began around 1940. Pilot's watches became the main product of the manufacturer at that time, which also produced pocket chronographs for the ship's artillery, among others. At that time, the company produced eight different stopwatches, among others. The so-called super fast oscillator made it possible to measure 1/100 of a second with a mechanical stopwatch. But watch production had to be curtailed by the end of the war in favor of the production of time fuzes for torpedoes.
