German watch brand Hanhart presents PIONEER Silva, a new model inspired by a historic creation made by the Black Forest based company.
Silva is the Latin word for forest. In the heart of the Black Forest, in the picturesque town of Gütenbach, the watchmakers of the 140-year-old company Hanhart manufacture every single piece of the new PIONEER Silva.
The new PIONEER Silva is based on a model from the company’s own museum. The historical model Kal 36/39, named after the Hanhart caliber 36/39 with 15 jewels, served as a simple and clean historical template. The basic design has been reinterpreted in a modern way to create a more contemporary look.

The clean dial and straight-line hands offer perfect contrast and readability. The distinctive dots between the numer-als are taken from the historic model. As with the other PIONEER models, Hanhart uses the historical logo on the dial of the PIONEER Silva.
The polished stainless steel case measures a case diameter of 38.5 mm, a case height of 10 mm and a lug-to-lug measurement of 44 mm. These dimensions make the watch perfect for everyday use.
The crown bears the “h” of the historic Hanhart logo and the convex, internally anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects against scratches. The watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters).
The PIONEER Silva from Hanhart is equipped with the reliable SW 200 automatic movement from the renowned Swiss manufacturer Sellita. In addition to stop seconds, it offers a power reserve of up to 38 hours. The movement with its skeletonized Hanhart rotor can be admired through the screwed sapphire crystal back.
The watch is available with a black calfskin strap or a Milanaise mesh strap. For added comfort, the black calfskin strap is lined with Alcantara on the inside. A buckle with the historic Hanhart logo ensures a secure fit.
The new Hanhart PIONEER Silva watch retails at 890.00 Euros.
