Hermès is a watchmaker that keeps things quiet and quietly impresses. Every year, at Watches & Wonders, I have the opportunity to see some thoughtfully designed, well-made, and, of course, luxuriously priced Hermès watches — only to then never once encounter them again for another 51 weeks until...
It seems that promoting traditional watchmaking, its crafts and techniques, to protect watchmaking know-how and the women and men behind it, as well as supporting the emergence of new talents, has become quite a recurring theme these days. Don’t get us wrong, we most certainly encourage...
Founded in 1882 in Switzerland before relocating to Germany in 1902, Hanhart gained fame as a producer of stopwatches in the early 1920s, followed by Flieger chronographs for pilots in the late 1930s. The Hanhart 417 was introduced in the 1950s as a pilot’s chronograph for the German armed...
