Hanhart - Amker 11 Steine Swiss Made Stopwatch with Box - 1960-1969

The Hanhart Amker stopwatch from the 1960s is a fine example of Swiss watchmaking precision dedicated to timing sports or scientific events. Hanhart, founded in Germany but incorporating Swiss manufacturing standards for some models, has a rich history in chronographs and stopwatches dating back to the early 20th century. The "11 Steine" refers to the number of jewels inside the movement, which reduce friction and contribute to durability and accuracy. Swiss Made indicates high-quality assembly and standards. Stopwatches from this era typically feature mechanical movements, requiring manual winding, and are prized by collectors for their craftsmanship and functional design. The inclusion of the original box adds to its appeal as a collectible item. Such timepieces reflect mid-century engineering precision before digital timers became widespread.
