Hanhart Pioneer Valjoux 23 Flyback

Post by CGSshorty » Sat Feb 02, 2019 1:49 pm

Somehow this one has flown under the radar. Hanhart and WatchBuys have released a new version of the Pioneer chronograph using vintage Valjoux 23 movements that Hanhart had stored away.
Other than the fact that I can’t afford one right now, I think it’s just about perfect.

I’ve never seen a Hanhart in the flesh but have always thought they looked great online. This one is no exception - very cool piece

I have a Primus Black Ops LE which is also a cool watch.

Surprisingly more affordable than I was expecting. This brand isn't for me, but it's not for lack of trying.

This is one of those watches I’d be tempted to wear inside out just so I could stare at the movement.

I got the email about it from Watchbuys the other day. As soon as I got it I clicked the link and it already said 'out of stock' :shrug:

I actually prefer the simplicity of this model:

An LE of 150 pieces that's been out for at least a year and not sold out. Surprising.

I love that watch. I’d buy one if I didn’t have the Monopusher chronograph. I’m surprised it hasn’t sold out.

A little late my vintage Hanhart flyback to compare these to the sweep hand a little off and crown the crown and sweep hand like the ones from WW2 not like the post WW2 ones they made after the war.

Wow Chris, as if the look of the watch wasn't amazing enough, then they
have those vintage movements inside?!! Really is the perfect mix of today,
and yesterday when you think about it. ..Thanks very much for the look ! :salute:
