Congrats, Ivan! Wear it in good health.

Speaking of watches, a new watch that has really gotten my interest is the new Hanhart Pioneer One Limited Edition (limted to 150 pieces worldwide).

Hanhart has a legendary reputation for making chronographs; they were a supplier to the Luftwaffe with chronograph "flieger" watches and are famous for their stopwatches, as well. If you've never owned or held a Hanhart watch in-person, they are incredibly well-designed, well manufactured, assembled and crafted watches of the highest quality. Trust me....I've been so very close to pulling the trigger on a Hanhart for over three years now, having handled and worn them in-person at WatchBuys shows. The craftsmanship of a Hanhart is absolutely impeccable.

Here is a photograph I took at the WatchBuys Roadshow in SF back in 2015 of the Hanhart Pioneer Monocontrol chronograph (single pusher to active/stop/reset the chronograph function). I've come close to pulling the trigger on this beauty more times than I can say...what stunner.



A notable owner of Hanhart was none other than Steve McQueen who bought a Hanhart 417 ES flyback chronograph with his own money...



Steve McQueen wore his Hanhart 417 in some of his films, including The War Lover and others.


The Hanhart Pioneer One Limited Edition is inspired by the 417 Hanhart that Steve McQueen wore, and so, here it is:



And my, oh, my I think it is absolutely gorgeous...

The price? $1,170...
