Hanhart Super Chronograph 1950s
Calibre Hanhart 120Condition — Lightly polished gold-plated case with light brassing, original dial and hands showing minor age wear
Provenance — One of the pieces I bought online rather than in a shop.
I stopped on this one in a tray of chronographs because of the squared, deco-style '12' on the dial, a shape Hanhart didn't keep for long. The dial itself is warm silver, ringed by a red-and-black tachymeter track, with gilt baton and arrow markers, dauphine hands in matching gold, and a red centre seconds hand sweeping a single sub-register at six. The gold-plated case has thinned at the caseback, brass showing through in a ring around the rim, and the two pump pushers either side of the crown still move cleanly. Opened up, the manual-wind Hanhart calibre 120 is signed, seventeen jewels, adjusted, marked Germany, with a serial legible on the plate. I've kept the green strap on it as it came to me. I'd put this one on the wrist of someone who wants a 1950s chronograph to actually wear, wear marks included, not one already tidied up.
Buying from a stranger, in short. Every fault I know of is in the listing, and if you find one I missed, the return stands. Take the watch to a watchmaker of your choosing before you pay — I have never once objected. Fourteen days to send it back, for any reason at all.
Privatverkauf. Everything described above — case, dial, hands, lume, rate and service history — is agreed condition for this watch and I stand behind all of it. Beyond that, the watch is sold excluding liability for material defects, as is normal between private individuals for a vintage mechanical object of this age. That exclusion does not cover anything I have misdescribed or failed to disclose, and never covers injury or intent.
Fourteen days to return it for any reason — my own promise, not a statutory withdrawal right. Terms · How I describe condition
