The Porsche Design Chronograph I, reference 911, represents a significant early offering from the brand, establishing its design philosophy in the watchmaking world. This model is notable for its minimalist aesthetic and functional approach, reflecting the brand's automotive heritage through its focus on legibility and material choice. It was conceived as a tool watch, prioritizing clarity and durability over ornate decoration, a characteristic that set it apart from many contemporaries upon its introduction.
Crafted with a black PVD-coated stainless steel case, the Chronograph I features a distinctive monochromatic appearance. The case diameter measures 40mm, providing a substantial yet wearable presence on the wrist. It houses an automatic movement, specifically the Valjoux 7750, known for its robustness and reliability. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, ensuring scratch resistance, and offers a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.
This reference holds particular appeal for collectors interested in the origins of Porsche Design's horological ventures and the broader trend of black-cased watches. Its straightforward design and mechanical integrity make it a compelling choice for those who appreciate a blend of automotive-inspired engineering and practical watchmaking. The 911 reference is a foundational piece, illustrating the brand's initial vision for a performance-oriented timepiece.
thanks for sharing :-) S
The cars are really gorgeous- a good mix of modern and classic beauties. The DB5 stood out amongst the rest though :)
Thank you so much for the P 1800 pics! This one is very nice with its slate grey body. Best, Nicolas
however, the Landrover is not a defender, but a very early series 1 or 2. the series 3 had headlights on the wings rather than the grill. G.
The car in pic no 2 (Volvo ?) is an ( Austin) Princess Vanden Plas R from 1964 to 1968 The second car is a Citroen - 'Traction Avant' can't tell the year, one of the first front wheel car designs. This model was made in England and France, the car being French. It was in production for more than 20 years. This model was only assembled in England. From this pic I can't tell any more.
I had an image of the Citroen in my mind but was not sure, about the Austin, never seen it before. cheers vte
