  • To kick off the new year and another year of Gentry videos, we go back to the heart of this channel: unbiased, in-depth, and independent reviews of watches worth discussing. Today we take a look at a brand that has never been reviewed on the Urban Gentry channel. Yes, it’s Hanhart, one of Germany’s most underrated and important military chronograph watchmakers.
    The Hanhart Pioneer TachyTele is a reissue of a classic airforce and naval officer’s watch from the 1930s. It is also the backbone of this illustrious brand and perfectly encapsulates everything that is fascinating about Hanhart. Why did Steve McQueen famously choose this brand over his more well known watches from Rolex, TAG Heuer, Benrus and Cartier? Join me for a deep dive into Hanhart's rich history, the story behind their designs, as well as how this chronograph measures up when it comes to its positives and negatives. So chocks away, it's watch review time!

    Don't know how many times I've repeated it, but this is the Olny channel on UA-cam that puts out consistently educational horology content. Not just 6 min reviews and arguments over whos Rolex holds the most value. Keep it up man. Thanks T.G.V. Onwards and Upwards for 2021.

      Agree. In my opinion The Urban Gentry has proved to be something of a "must watch" channel.

    • @styx4947
      @styx4947 3 роки тому +5

      @@mas3974 Indeed it has. You can find a review of the Rolex Daytona,(n-billion or so) or speculate about watches as a commodity, ten alternatives to this or that ad-nauseam. But this is where you get the context, history and significance of the topics everyone clones from each other. Half of them dont why they say the stuff they say, just that it's the "zeitgeist" of the watch community on Instagram.

    I really like this brand and watch, the Hanharts are just great Germen Watches. I took a chance on a great buy on a Nutische Instrumente Muhle-Glashutte last year and I am very impressed with it. As my taste changes and develops, I’m really liking the Axis watches (German and Japanese ). Like you, I have a Grand Seiko on the 2021 additions list.
    I’m going to order the H417 ES, with the light brown strap and underlay. Good enough, for the king of cool, good enough for me.

    You are definitely standing out of the crowd with your educated way of presenting your subjects and your very professional video-making. After watching a lot of watch videos during the last two weeks it's a real pleasure to get more educational content than the usual "...almost no backplay on the bezel" by less prepared UA-camrs.
    I have a Hanhart Replica of 2001 in sand blasted steel with a 7751 in gold (... from the golden version of the Replica), the most accurate watch I've ever bought and in general a very satisfying product - but still too tall for this simple case architecture 😊😉.

    Being a huge Steve McQueen fan most of my life, I became interested in his various watches he owned. Subsequently I bought several Benrus vintage Vietnam watches, a 1940’s Rolex Oyster Speedking, just the same watch he wore in The Great Escape. Some years ago I came across an early 1940’s Hanhart chronograph. In pretty good condition being vintage. I was hesitant to buy it, but head ruled my “hart”🤣, so I bought it. It’s been cleaned & serviced back then, worn sparingly & keeps amazing time! As you said TGV, they’re bringing good money now. Mine was literally a 1/3rd of the price you quoted.👍🏼 Great vid & honestly I’m tempted on the reissue too! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🍻

    I have to say, I love the look of the Hanhart TTC. That coin edge bezel is a thing of beauty, as is the red-capped chronometer reset. The thickness of the case is merely an example of form following function. The leather strap is also distinctive and classy. Well done, friend.

    Hi TGV, nice to see you finally covering Hanhart in depth. Hanhart was the very first brand I gave serious consideration to for my first mechanical watch purchase when I got into watches back in 2015 based on a review by Zach Weiss at Worn & Wound. I ultimately went with the Sinn 104i based on your first review, and eventually bought the Hanhart Pioneer One LE 3-hander at the end of 2017. While I really liked the watch, I eventually sold it as I was really pining for the 417 ES that McQueen wore. And, now...Hanhart has released it! Just a note for consideration is that with the "thinner" coin-edge bezels, the 42mm Hanharts wear bigger than their size would indicate. Something to keep in mind for those with smaller wrists. Wonderful watch company though, with beautifully executed designs and an incredible historial legacy. Big fan of Hanhart. Cheers, Stephen

    Goodness... I have an irresistible liking for pulsometors and vintage chronographs. And must I say, this is a beautiful amalgamation of them all! Great watch and great review. Onwards and Upwards TGV.
