Hanhart, a renowned German wristwatch and chronograph brand, has launched its new Primus racer’s chronograph.

Hanhart stopwatches have always played a key part in leading motor sports events. Classic rally drivers like Michael Münzenmaier from the town of Erdmannhausen in southern Germany rely on Hanhart watches to this day.

The winner of the Classic Masters in 2004 and 2005 has likewise depended on an entire range of Hanhart stopwatches for many years in his exploits in his Jaguar XK 140 OTS, built in 1956: these include two countdown watches, three split-second watches, two split-timer watches with a flyback function and bezel with retrograde scale and the Tachymaster series 30, 40 and 50.

“The appeal of these Hanhart stopwatches lies in their reliability, accuracy and unmistakable handling,” said a passionate rally driver.
