My Saturday at BaselWorld found me at the Hanhart booth checking out, among other things, the new
Hanhart Dashboard Instruments.
I WANT ONE! In so many instances, we are fed the never-ending "homage" pitch - i.e. it's "based on", "draws upon", "inspired by" - THANK YOU HANHART for NOT following this path! These are genuine, authentic, real.
As a guy who LOVES stop watches, etc. I have to say that these are really something special -
In Hanhart's own words -
Hanhart Dashboard Instruments.

In Hanhart's own words -
CLASSIC LINE – Now in elegant black
The mechanical stopwatches and instrument
watches for dashboards produced in the Hanhart
factory in Gütenbach, Germany, are popular
collector’s pieces and highly valued accessories
for vintage car rally drivers. In 2011, Hanhart is
launching the first two-piece set for car dashboards in
an elegant black design.
High-quality mechanical stopwatches and instrument
watches for dashboards, made over several production
stages in Hanhart’s factory, and named the
Classic Line collection, represent a significant product
segment for the brand. Used in the past for all the
important sporting events and motor races, today they
are most popular among ambitious vintage car rally drivers.
The watches can be used in any combination,
and can easily be mounted onto the dashboard with a
specially made panel. They can be fitted onto and
removed from the dashboard in a simple process thanks
to an innovative “slide-in” method.
In 2011, Hanhart is introducing a day timer with a classic
design that pays homage to the distinctive Hanhart pocket
watches, as well as a split-seconds addition timer with flyback
function in elegant black chrome-plated brass, with a matching
mounting panel for the dashboard. The discreet matte surface
of the panel, punctuated by polished cases, edges and details,
offer an exciting contrast to the red reset button on the stopwatch –
Hanhart’s trademark. The same red colouring is used for the drag
indicator, ensuring that this remains very visible against the
jet-black dial and easily distinguishable from the white seconds hand.
The stopwatch contains a mechanical movement with a Swiss
anchor escapement and a shock-resistant balance wheel,
the day timer contains a Unitas hand-wound movement.
