Halda Race Pilot - the next chapter in the history of modern watchmaking

Every timepiece that leaves the Halda factory holds the promise of uncompromising quality that our founder once established and – at the same time, truly make a functional difference for the user experience. We are proud to announce yet another groundbreaking watch that challenges the best watch manufacturers in the world – the Halda Race Pilot.

The Halda Race Pilot is developed in close cooperation with race drivers and engineers. It is based on the same concept as its predecessor the Halda Space Discovery – a concept constructed for functional superiority featuring a time platform and interchangeable time modules created for optimal performance in their respective environment.

Once again two modules has been developed – one mechanical and one electronic, but this time the new timepiece from Halda is designed for a wider audience and will therefore not be limited.

The new Halda Race Pilot will be unveiled at Baselworld on the 25th of April and is guaranteed to make your motor run.

Halda watches featured on prominent people such as HMK Oscar II and renowned Swedish writer August Strindberg and the watches were also honoured with several international awards in competition with the very best watch producers at that time.

The Haldas of the 21st century follows the devise of its founding father, Henning Hammarlund – to never compromise with quality or function. For its’ manifestation of advanced and pioneering technical engineering and fine mechanics, the Halda Space Discovery was honoured with a placement in the Swedish pavilion at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. In 2011, it featured as part of the exhibition ‘NASA – A Human Adventure’, world premiering at National Museum of Science and Technology in Stockholm.
