My Grail Watch Arrives! - 6 Years Of Waiting For My Dream Chronograph

Подробнее о видео

After 6 years of waiting, one of my dream German-made grail watches has finally arrived! But is it a Sinn, an A. Lange & Sohne, a Glashutte, a Junghans, or something else?

If you've been following The Urban Gentry channel for some time, you'll know that in the early days I lusted after an extremely rare watch made famous by actor Steve McQueen. We are of course talking about the legendary Hanhart 417 ES from the 1950s, affectionately known as the "Bundeswehr Chronograph" amongst aficionados and collectors. Not only was this watch the choice of the king of cool, it was also a movie icon, and the first purpose-built chronograph specifically for the German Air Force. After hearing of my great admiration for this German-made legendary timepiece, Hanhart reached out to me to collaborate on bringing it back as a limited-edition in the original 39mm size, with the same modern specifications as the 2020 reissue—premiering today as the 417 ES Red Lion. Join me for a first look at this superb chronograph!
