Most Underrated German Military Watch: Hanhart TachyTele Chronograph

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 YouTube 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.

I have zero intentions of buying this watch, but I could listen to him talk about it all day

[michaelfierman]

Just poured cup of tea. I'm ready. Happy New Year TGV

[manasraut]

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.

Marvellous! Big thumbs up for more German watch reviews like this!

[lateralus]

Some of the most intriguing, unique, and polished intros on youtube. Thanks!

[jct]

Fantastic! I've been waiting for a long time for an Urban Gentry review of Hanhart ... I'm complete now! Well done, sir!

[freesneaky]

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 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

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.
