Most Underrated German Military Watch: Hanhart TachyTele Chronograph
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2024
- 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!

I have zero intentions of buying this watch, but I could listen to him talk about it all day
I have him running on a loop to work on my book or do schoolwork.
I started cruising eBay during the video...
@@redram5150 it's an expensive beast, that's for sure
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.
@@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 have two notification channels the TGV is one of them.
I always think about the research, editorial and production work put in to the 20 to 30min that we see. Thats above and beyond the reviews themselves.
I agree!
Just poured cup of tea. I'm ready. Happy New Year TGV
Happy New Years to you as well fellow Gent 🍺
I just poured a cup of tea in my Urban Gentry mug and I'M ready!😁
Very nice watch and when it comes form me saying it then you’ll know it’s worth buying it.
Great history design everything overall.
And guess what TGV I had my Lavazza Crema Gusto and right after hauled out spitfire and give it a run wish your near by I could bring you in.
Happy New Year 2021

Ohh by the way my JLC Atmos clock 1960 just got overhauled like new👍🏼
I have missed you videos over the holidays so I looked at some of your older videos. You videos have never lost their top notch quality.
Happy 2021,
Manas.
TGV your intros are just going to another level. Nice watch
Hadn't heard of this watchmaker. Thanks for sharing! I enjoy how polished and complete your videos are. I wish they'd just keep going and become a full on history documentary.
Hands down this is the best produced channel on UA-cam. Consistently outstanding with substance of topic, informative and engaging presentation, with exceptional video quality and editing. The complete package. Bravo to you TGV!
Love the coin bezel. This piece is so unique. I feel like many watch youtubers talk about the same watches and brands all the time, but your content is always refreshing. Always apreciate your work TGV!
great dial and a great video as ever - welcome back to what you do so well
Fantastic! I've been waiting for a long time for an Urban Gentry review of Hanhart ... I'm complete now! Well done, sir!
Happy New Year. Another year with The Urban Gentry. 👍😍
Marvellous! Big thumbs up for more German watch reviews like this!
Love all the epic intros! This one was amazing
Beautiful review of a beautiful watch! Keep up your good work, TGV! Happy New Year!
Some of the most intriguing, unique, and polished intros on youtube. Thanks!
Thank you for a great video! Interesting brand and watch. Keep it coming.
A pleasure to watch your review, as always. Thanks. A beautiful piece, by the way. Out of my budget, but it caught my eye a long time ago.
All the best for the new year TGV, I’m looking forward to the Sean Connery Skx mod !!
Thank you TGV for introducing me to Hanhart watches! You are the ONLY watch channel that I will NOT miss an episode! I'm fairly new to the hobby so thank you for ALL you do for our community!
Happy New Year TGV and Hugo!
Happy New Year! Very nice looking chronograph with good specifications and details. Thank you.
Excited to see what the channel has to offer this year. Best wishes TGV
Love the intro, LOVE the watch !!! Brilliant review ! Onwards & upwards...
Nice to have you back TGV. Pushing play now.
Lovely way to start the new year, TGV. The ergonomics of the Hanhart are really admirable. Thank you for yet another great review.
Happy new year and best regards,
Koen
Great name for a watch, and a bit of a stunner. Love the red printing on black dial. Having lived for a short time in the South of Germany in my much younger days I'm fond of many things German, 🍺 & ⌚ included. As always superb video, many thanks for lifting my spirits on a Monday evening my friend. All the best for 2021
Thank you Chris, that must of been a wonderful time. I can't tell you how much I want to visit myself.
Enjoy the rest of your Monday evening, chin chin!
Best regards,
TGV
Always love learning about a brand I’ve never heard of before ! Great video.

Great review! Dankeschön! 👍🏻
Splendid! Finally someone put Hanhart on the spotlight it deserves! Excellent review TGV! Well done, sir!
Frohes neues Jahr!
Danke schon, happy new year to you too!
Best regards,
TGV
Awesome intro, as always. Your creativity takes watch videos to a whole new level. Thank you, and happy New Year! P.S. awesome watch! Chrono is my favourite complication, and the Hanhart is firmly on my radar 😆.
My man TGV, stay classy and enjoy they new year friend!
Best regards
Thank you Michael, extremely kind of you, happy new year too.
Onwards and upwards!
Best regards,
TGV
Thanks for bringing such an interesting watch and equally interesting brand to fore. Love this stuff. So Happy New Year TGV! Frohes neues Jahr!
Happy New Year TGV and to the rest of the gentry! Once again you nailed the intro. Spectacular!
I'm always amazed by the high quality and production value of your videos. Outstanding work!
amazing watch,and a truly amazing channel,all the best .
Great watch truly enjoyed watching Happy New Year
The way you describe the product is exquisite, it is like a short film. And I have never felt that you are trying to sell it
you do something more important
to love watches and their history
happy new year
Loved hearing about a brand I was unfamiliar with. Thanks, as ever!
I have owned a Hanhart Pioneer Preventor 9 for a year now and I love it. The quality is incredible. Comfortable, legible. It's a keeper.
Thank you for your feedback!
Another beautifully produced video TGV, love the historic back-stories you put in. I love the watch as well, even if it is thick enough to stand on and change a dodgy light bulb! Have a great year and best wishes from the U.K.
Happy New Year, TGV! Looking forward to many great watch reviews. My word, what an epic intro!Beautiful cinematography, editing and background music. Almost like a short movie. What a great way to start off the new year. Love the classic look of this Hanhart even better with the cream colored dial.
Loved the intro !
Great Job as always TGV,
I’m a long-term silent fan, and always look forward to new videos.
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.

Great watch happy new year 🍻
I never get tired of the historical military influence you provide in your presentations.
Love Hanhart, awesome review as always. I’ve recently ordered a Hanhart Pioneer One and can’t wait to receive it! Thanks for providing this outstanding video!
Dear Andrew, thank you for your order. If you have any questions about your order-status, please don't hesitate to contact me: petra.rissler@hanhart.com. Kind regards from Gütenbach
Drinking a cuppa tea and enjoying your video!! Thank you as always !
Great video as always. Looking forward to many more this year. Happy New Year.
Exciting watch and also amazing intro as always! Happy new year and thanks for your work, helped me choosing watches again and again!
You sold me with the bi direction besel. Cracking watch. Will need to look into this.
Han on hart this is a great video!
Glad to have you back! Hope you had a great holiday!
What a watch. Just love the looks. Happy new year TGV!!
Great video review as always. Thank you for drawing my attention to this brand with the history
Henk!!! Great to hear from you and an absolute pleasure.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
As always a brilliant and jolly good presentation. A great way to commence 2021
Hope the new year was good for you TGV. The red on this Hanhart on the pusher, the seconds hand and the pip on the bezel really pop. Gorgeous and no dought useful for visibility.
Thank you for your feedback! Kind regards from Gütenbach
Happy New Year TGV!
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 😊😉.
Saluti della Germania 👍
Hi TGV
Happy New Year. Ready for another year with wonderful watches.
This one is surely stunning but a bit too thick/tool like for me. Like that black/red trademark combo though.
Keep up the good work👍
Ein frohes neues Jahr :) Finally a Hanhart. I really like it. I have one and its very good quality and now with even lugwidth. I do like the Schlangenschwarm STUKA, too.
Thanks for another great video, and lesson in horological history.
A great watch to start a new year... Well done!
Fantastic vid as always! Keep it up TGV
Happy new year TGV! Great to catch ur watch review show. Great intro as usual.
Obsessed with this beautiful time piece. Definitely disappointed it doesn't come in a smaller case :( Wonderful review as always. Happy New Year
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 🇦🇺🍻
Been looking for a quality yet rugged watch for quite a while. I also like lesser known brands. This checks all the boxes. Thanks TGV. I hope you have a healthy and prosperous New Year!
A beautiful watch with an awesome history. Would certainly suit you and your collection. Great video to start the new year sir!
So glad you think so!
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
So much attention to detail in your editing. I really like your videos.
Oh my looks like I need another watch 😬 love the black and red and style, that’s one beautiful watch.
Thank you so much! :)
I have been waiting a bit to hear from you......well. This watch review is perfect
Tristano, your production quality really sets the bar for all other watch channels. I love the artful presentation.
Great content as always TGV! An excellent review on the Hanhart. Best wishes and a productive 2021 for you and the family. Onward and Upwards my friend. 🥃
Happy New Year to everybody! TGV and Hugo. Haven't seen Hugo Esq. this year.
Happy new year TGV! And what better way to start of the new year than with a fine Hanhart wristwatch! Best regards!
Thank you Heiko!! :D
Happy new year too, it would not be a complete video without your support.
Best regards,
TGV
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.
Striking images, great historic collection of facts, great commentaries and, well, what a watch!!! Ciao Tristano!!!
Mille grazie Simone!
Best regards,
TGV
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
Thank you for this great feedback! :)
Happy new year TGV keep up the excellent work
Nice work as always TGV.
Have missed your content over the holidays old chap. Hopefully this year will be a good one! Send my regards to Hugo! 👌🏻🥃
I was caught off guard seeing that the bezel isn’t fixed into the case, this watch keeps on giving!
Frohes neues Jahr TGV!
Danke für das Zeigen der schönen Hanhart.. happy new year from Germany
Happy new year TGV! 2021 and going onwards and upwards!
And I like to add your intros are as epic as usual 🔥♥️👌
I’ve been considering the creme dial version and I think this vid just sold me. I love this watch. Thank you for the review T. Brilliant production quality, even down to the subtle 1930’s villainous soundtrack. Bravo!
But notice during the "positives" it switched to a lovely 'Hot Club of France' music! Nicely done...
Happy new year sir!
Great video!
Beautiful design, a top quality and usable watch. Terrific video.
I do not normally follow your videos actively, but really like to have them on the background while doing chores, like cooking. Listening and taking a glimpse now and there. Very relaxing.
With the exception of EDC and anti-fake watches videos, which I watch actively
Really nice watch!
Thank you very much for putting it in my radar.
Best Regards from Spain 🇪🇸
Very interesting to see something fresh and unique. A thing to learn everyday. Tale care my friend
Great hearing you pronounce the German words right. Great review as always!
Very nice review with a lot of new insights. Always a pleasure. Besides of that, it feels good to have some positive thoughts about German watches in the show.
Great quality review
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.
Interesting as always Herr TGV.
Absolutely love the underlying dramatic music during the Hanhart presentation!
Thanks TGV! I’ll have to check Hanhart out!
Thank's for opening a new brands for us. It's fire🔥
