As the New Year 2025 is here, I want to wish you from the bottom of my heart: Happy New Year full of health, smiles and love for you and those around you!
2025 brings to me new goals with the purpose of development and commitment to what I believe I have learned to do best, "measuring time."
So the new year begins with the formalization of our partnership with
Hanhart 1882 GmbH.
A look at the history of Hanhart
Hanhart was founded in 1882 and became known for the manufacture of timekeeping instruments. Willy Hanhart, who was instrumental in Hanhart's growth in the 1920s, introduced the company to the manufacture of the first affordable mechanical stopwatches which were vital in a variety of fields, including sports and military.
The brand's reputation soared during both the pre- and post-war periods, especially as it became the choice of elite pilots in the German Air Force.
One of the major milestones in Hanhart's history was the design and manufacture of the 417 ES chronograph, which caught the attention of iconic actor and racing enthusiast Steve McQueen. Unlike other companies that sponsored their watches for promotional and advertising purposes, McQueen personally purchased the 417 ES while in Germany, lending Hanhart's story an authenticity that no marketing budget could replicate.
This connection to Hollywood further strengthened Hanhart's position in the watchmaking world.
Personally, I believe that Hanhart is a brand that combines tradition with innovation. Its history is rich and full of successes, and the quality of its products is undeniable. So it is with gratitude for what we achieved in 2024 and with hope for what is to come in 2025 that I welcome Hanhart to the Greek market through my workshop.
Thank you!
