Original German WWII Police School Dresden marked Stop Watch by Hanhart with Case - Fully Functional
-
Original Item: Only One Available. We have had few of these Torpedo Timer type Stop Watches in over 35 years of business in the U.S.A. This one was made by the German WW2 Military Contractor Hanhart and is marked on the dial.
This stopwatch is offered in great fully functional condition. The fluted knob on the top controls everything. You wind it up and when you push it in once the single seconds had starts moving immediately. On the second push, the second hand freezes at the time elapsed position. On the third push the timer resets itself to zero ready for reuse.

The inscription on the back translates directly to "Police School/Academy Dresden", one of many civic police training locations in WWII Germany.
The manufacturer of this watch is Hanhart Chronographs, which was founded in 1882 in Diessenhofen, Switzerland, by Johann A. Hanhart. In 1902, operations were moved to Schwenningen in southern Germany, the stronghold of German watchmaking. They produced watches for the German Navy during WW1 and WW2. This model, as indicated on the watchface, has an 7-Jewel movement.
How many times have we all seen these being used in WW2 movies?
