The Original Fliegerchronograph
|
During the years preceding the war,
the Fliegerchronograph (Pilot's Chronograph) became an
indispensable tool for the professional pilot. Known for it's
accuracy and durability it was a favorite among aviators of the
1930s.

After the war, production of
Hanhart timing products came to a end, and only in 1948 did Hanhart
again begin to manufacture it's precision timing products again. In
the sixties chronograph production was again terminated allowing
Hanhart to concentrate on mechanical and digital stopwatches and
other timing products.
Today, Gütenbach has become a
center for the research, development and production of sophisticated
mechanical and electronic time measurement instruments.
