 With the new 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date, Hanhart presents an exclusive edition in collaboration with “Porsche Fahrer Magazin” that unites two worlds that could hardly be more different at first glance - and yet share the same DNA: a passion for precision, character and timeless design.

 What began in the Black Forest with precision mechanical watchmaking finds its counterpart in the world of motorsport - where technology, performance and style merge into an emotional unity.

The 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date builds precisely this bridge between tradition and modernity, between analog perfection and lively driving culture.

It combines the iconic design of the historic 417 ES, once built for pilots, with contemporary watchmaking at the highest level - a chronograph that breathes history, embodies passion and carries the future.

A statement in mocha

The dial in elegant mocha brown with white numerals has the prefect contrast for optimal readability. A smooth, shiny bezel gives the watch elegant, flowing lines.

The 42 mm stainless steel case (height: 13.3 mm) combines satin-finished and polished surfaces, protected by a high-domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on the inside and a transparent back that reveals the finely decorated movement.

The date window at 6 o'clock is harmoniously integrated into the symmetrical dial design - functional, discreet and stylish.

Mechanics at the highest level

Inside is the hand-wound AMT5100 M movement from Sellita's Manufacture AMT department - a classic switching wheel caliber with flyback function, date, small seconds, 30-minute counter and a power reserve of 58 hours.

The movement beats at 4 Hertz (28,800 vibrations per hour), is shockproof and is carefully regulated in the Hanhart manufactory - with an accuracy of 0 to +8 seconds per day. Robust, precise and built for enthusiasts who love mechanical perfection.

The red pusher - a symbol of history

As with other Hanhart pilot's chronographs, the 417 ES Mocha Flyback Date is also equipped with the distinctive red pusher - a trademark with deep meaning. Legend has it that a pilot's mistress once painted the chronograph pusher red so that he would always remember her on a mission and return safely.

Historically, however, the red color served a practical purpose: it was intended to protect pilots from accidentally resetting the stop time - particularly important for watches with a flyback function, which enables the time to be restarted with just one press.

Today, the red HyCeram® pusher stands for Hanhart's combination of tradition, safety and iconic style - a detail with soul.

 Comfort, function and style on the wrist

The watch is available with either a dark brown calfskin strap with Alcantara on the inside or a stainless-steel bracelet.

The leather strap has a historic lower band that is reminiscent of the pilot's watches of the 1960s and 70s. Originally, however, this lower band was not just for stylistic reasons: In the early days of pilot's chronographs, many cases were made of copper or brass alloys, which could cause irritation if they came into contact with the skin. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The lower band protected the wrist from this direct contact - a functional solution that lives on today as an aesthetic detail with history. Thanks to the quick-change system on the bars, the lower strap can now be removed in seconds - for maximum flexibility between a classic vintage look and modern simplicity.

THE GERMAN VIRTUE OF PUNCTUALITY

The Hanhart standard with regard to the accuracy of the watches is as unique as the watches themselves. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Each individual movement is tested and adjusted by excellently trained watchmakers at the Hanhart manufactory in Gütenbach. The Hanhart specifications for rate accuracy are 0 to +8 seconds per day on average over 6 positions. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This corresponds to the same deviation as +-4 seconds, but Hanhart does not allow a minus second in the main positions. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The German virtue of punctuality dictates that wearers of Hanhart watches should not be late because of the timekeeping device on their wrist. In addition, a maximum delta of 10 seconds is permitted between the positions.

OTHERS SHOW THE TIME, 
HANHART MEASURES IT

As a pioneer in the development of wrist chronographs and stopwatches, Hanhart has played an outstanding role in the history of the German watch industry.

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

With a passion for technical inventiveness, Hanhart continues to set the highest standards for itself today and is guided by the following maxims: precision and reliability, perfect readability and simple, safe operation as well as maximum robustness.

Since 1882, the watch manufacturer has been producing timepieces that combine perfection with unmistakable design. Development, production and sales of the mechanical masterpieces are based in Gütenbach in the Black Forest

Made for a grand entrance

Glamour for life’s big events – and its small ones. The new Serenade Luna: Diamonds, mother-of-pearl and vibrant violet.

The watch was once conceived as a functional timekeeping instrument. Yet it has become so much more than that. An assertive statement of style. A piece of luxury jewellery. A mechanical artwork. The new Serenade Luna from Glashütte Original encompasses all three of these descriptions. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Its multifaceted attributes are housed within a round steel case measuring 32.5 mm in diameter. The dial and leather strap turn heads in vibrant “purple velvet”:

A rich and fiery tone that strikes extraordinary accents, whether for a glamorous evening event or simply a day at work.

An assertive statement of style

The colouring of the new Serenade Luna gives the effect of silk and velvet. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

The dark violet tone is a luxurious blend of red and blue, reminiscent of the Gynura aurantiaca plant, better known as the velvet plant. Its appearance is at once calming and spiritual, inspirational and mysterious. This dichotomy is a perfect fit for the Serenade Luna, which offers exceptional versatility and balance.

With feminine design and mechanical finesse, it enhances every outfit, whether an evening gown, business attire or casual clothing. The new version in “purple velvet” creates powerful accents that emphasise the individual character of its wearer.

A piece of luxury jewellery

Enveloped in a stainless steel case measuring 32.5 mm in diameter, the Serenade Luna beguiles with its graceful shapes.

With its sparkling bezel, the watch has all the charm of a jewellery piece. 48 brilliant-cut diamonds frame a violet-coloured dial, carefully crafted in Glashütte Original’s own dial manufactory. A delicate sunray decoration and translucent lacquer bring a visual depth that is enhanced by the vivid reflections of the diamond indexes.

The moon phase display that is harmoniously incorporated at 6 o'clock perfectly captures the poetic nature of the art of watchmaking. White natural mother-of-pearl and dark

Tahitian mother-of-pearl with delicately imprinted stars create a clear yet elegant portrayal of the crescent moon and the night sky. The timepiece is finished with a Louisiana alligator leather strap that complements the dial colour.

Its glossy, velvety finish with a subtle dégradé effect masterfully unites the bold violet with the natural surface texture.

A mechanical artwork

At the beating heart of every model in the Serenade Luna series lies a celebration of mechanical prowess. The automatic calibre 35 with integrated moon phase is meticulously handcrafted inside the Glashütte Original ateliers and meets the manufactory's highest technical demands.

For instance, the movement features a convenient running time of 60 hours while oscillating at a frequency of 4 Hz. A silicon balance spring makes the watch resistant to temperature fluctuations and magnetic fields. Meanwhile, its sapphire crystal case back allows for the full wonder of the movement and its finishing to be seen:

The stripe finish on the Glashütte three-quarter plate, the bevelled edges, the sunburst finish on the reduction wheel, the perlage on the oscillation weight’s track and the polished and blued screws.

The exquisite shell decoration on the golden rotor plate is reminiscent of a the atre’s stage curtain, alluding to the next major performance and perfectly capturing the glamorous essence of the Serenade Luna.

RENAUD TIXIER – MONDAY “Racing Green” and “Petrol Blue” Gold Edition

RENAUD TIXIERMONDAY British “Racing Green” and Petrol Blue Gold Exclusive Edition 2025

 By Renaud Tixier at Perpétuel Galler
WORLD PREMIERE OF THE
NEW MONDAY

Hamdan Bin Humaid 

As part of this year’s Independent Voices exhibition — running alongside Dubai Watch Week — Perpétuel Gallery proudly unveiled the new “Monday” by Renaud Tixier.

The considerate evolution in design marks a confident turn in the model’s look, with reworked proportions, added richness and subtlety. Presented as a world premiere during Dubai Watch Week, enthusiasts can discover Renaud Tixier’s new dials in-store at Perpétuel Gallery, the first and only authorized dealer for the brand in the region.

An innovative caliber shaped by artistry

The Monday is the first of seven horological creations that revisit the archetypes of traditional watchmaking. This inaugural creation addresses the winding inefficiencies of a movement powered by a micro-rotor for the first time. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

By adding an inertia wheel at the heart of the selfwinding mechanism, a patented invention from Dominique Renaud, the watch captures energy that would otherwise be lost. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

This innovative movement is made up of more than 250 components and is executed with a level of finishing on par with the best of the best, including no fewer than 187 inner beveled angles, thanks to Julien Tixier’s expertise in traditional crafts.

Since its debut, the Monday collection has sought to honor métiers d’art: enamel and engraving were introduced from the very first model, with a visible barrel ratchet-wheel covr that is hand-chiseled and finished in violet grand feu enamel, a vibrant accent that makes the craft part of the spectacle of function.

The case continues this dialogue between engineering and artistry with hand engraving along the flanks and between the lugs.

Fresh Faces, Lasting Codes

Complementing the Monday’s architectural, neoclassical aesthetic, the brand set out to refine its identity. The new dials draw on the quiet strength of sector layouts to convey a more assertive character while preserving the overall look.

The composition is framed by a larger flange that echoes the geometry of the minute track and lends the display greater depth. Applied indices grow bolder and more sculptural, with a double index at twelve to anchor orientation at a glance. The small seconds ring is reinterpreted to mirror the outer minute track, creating a taut visual dialogue between the perimeter and the center. At the heart of the dial, the Maison’s signature grainé texture is now enlivened by a circular satin finish, a subtle interplay that recalls the chiseled spaces along the case flank and between the lugs.

Branding is intentionally discreet: the logotype is repositioned, maintaining a minimal signature that lets the craft speak first. Altogether, the dial architecture gains complexity that balances the intricacies of the movement, yielding a display that feels both calmer to read and richer to contemplate.

Two colorways introduce distinct temperaments within this new language. British Racing Green brings a warm, sporting elegance to the rose gold case and is paired with a green leather strap featuring a textile-like texture that underlines the dial’s relief. Petrol Blue, cased in white gold and matched to a suede blue leather strap, reads with cool elegance, allowing the sector inspiration and the re-proportioned markings to assert their graphic poise.

In both executions, the enhancements are not cosmetic flourishes, but integral design decisions that refine how the Monday wears visually and emotionally on the wrist.

Exclusively on view at Perpétuel Gallery

Perpétuel, a curated destination known for offering standout finds for enlightened collectors will showcase the new Renaud Tixier dials during Dubai Watch Week. The retailer has been an early supporter of the brand and continues to build an exciting partnership with Dominique Renaud and team.

Dominique Renaud - master watchmaker

After hosting a collector’s event with Perpétuel in 2024 for the launch of the Monday, the two entites have united around a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and human values. Collectors will have direct access to Renaud Tixier’s first creation, along with the new dials and exclusive services available only at Perpétuel Gallery.

I was lucky to be involved with the Renaud Tixier project early on, and when I first saw the Monday, I knew it would resonate with our collectors,” said Hamdan Bin Humaid, owner of Perpétuel. “Their approach to innovation is thoughtful, their quality and finishing are unmatched, and their ethos aligns perfectly with what our boutique stands for — exceptional creations with lasting appeal.

Hamdan Bin Humaid

The neo-classical design of the watch perfectly complements the tastes of Perpétuel’s clientele, discerning individuals who appreciate both understatement and substance. Each timepiece delivers both function and flair, making it a standout addition to the curated selection for which Perpétuel is renowned.
