Rally timers were (and still are) absolutely essential for competitors in events like the Mille Miglia, this pair of timers was built by Hanhart for Ferrari and it was used actively in competition throughout the ’50s and ’60s.
Hanhart designed this timer to be either mounted on the dashboard or worn around the neck with a thick leather strap, each timer can be set together or separately and each one has an independent 11 jewel movement.
