Hanhart - Robotimer
Hanhart ""Robotimer"" board intended for timing motor racing in the 1960s. It consists of three Hanhart stopwatches and a lap counter fixed on an original board from the brand. A common trigger starts a timer, stops a second and resets the third while adding one unit to the lap counter. Contained in a case to its dimensions, intended to protect it in transport from circuit to circuit. 43x32cm.

Hanhart was founded in 1882 in Diessenhofen, Switzerland before relocating to Germany in 1902. After participating in track and field events Willy Hanhart grew frustrated with the lack of affordable stop watches on the market and in 1924 introduced the worlds first reasonably priced stop watch. By the 1960's Hanhart were the market leader and Europe's largest producer of mechanical stopwatches.
Hanhart is known for having issued chronographs to the pilots of the German Armed Forces during the 2nd world war.
Very appreciated by Steeve McQueen who regularly wore the 417 ES chronograph.

Dans les années 1960, Hanhart était le leader du marché et le plus grand producteur européen de chronomètres mécaniques.
