First - a quick tip of the hat to Walt Whitman -
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready,
Have you your pistols? have you your sharp-edged axes?
Pioneers! O pioneers!
For we cannot tarry here,
We must march my darlings, we must bear the brunt of danger,
We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend,
Pioneers! O pioneers!
O you youths, Western youths,
So impatient, full of action, full of manly pride and friendship,
Plain I see you Western youths, see you tramping with the foremost,
Pioneers! O pioneers!
Have the elder races halted?
Do they droop and end their lesson, wearied over there beyond the
seas?
We take up the task eternal, and the burden and the lesson,
Pioneers! O pioneers!
(Walt Whitman)
But now for the watch content -
PIONEER MonoControl
PIONEER TwinControl
PIONEER TwinDicator
In Hanhart's own words:
PIONEER MonoControl, TwinControl and TwinDicator –
A modern interpretation of legendary chronographs
At the Baselworld 2011 watch and jewellery fair, Hanhart is presenting three
new models from its Pioneer collection. In terms of their design and the
technology used, the MonoControl, the TwinControl and the TwinDicator are
based on the brand’s legendary chronographs, thus carrying on the company’s
long tradition and maintaining its high level of expertise while implementing
these qualities in a contemporary way. With the hour counter integrated into the
small seconds and the displays positioned right on the edge of the dial, the
Pioneer TwinDicator in particular is a highlight of the collection.
In the first half of the 20th century, the Swiss German watch brand Hanhart was
a key pioneer in the development of highly functional precision chronographs.
For safe navigation and precise timekeeping in the air, on the land and on the
sea, these instrument watches had to meet incredibly strict criteria. They had to
be absolutely reliable, extremely precise and robust. Their design had just one
purpose to fulfil: perfect, flawless readability day and night along with easy
operation – with or without gloves. Hanhart’s chronographs have always
satisfied these high standards and continue to do so today.
