Passions Watch Exchange

About This Watch

Pre-owned. Comes with orig. boxes (internal PVC flaking), manual & dated paper. One owner's watch purchased new from the Porsche Design boutique in Malaysia.

This is a re-issue of the original 1972 design which is an icon of it's own right. The early ones were produced by IWC and sold under double name but they have since separated and Porsche Design acquired Eterna SA in 1999 to produce watches to be marketed under Porsche Design. This specimen is one of the product.

In 1972, Ferdinand Alexander Porsche founded his own design studio, the luxury brand Porsche Design. His first product was a watch. With his black Chronograph, he anticipated a trend that has become an integral aspect of the watch industry and was considered revolutionary at the time. For the designer, however, the deep black look was nothing more than functional: The watch takes a page from the playbook of the non-reflective race car instruments, which are entirely matt black, except for the indices and hands.  For the Chronograph, this meant a black dial, white lettering with hands and baton hour markers filled with a white luminescent substance. The only touch of colour is the long stop-second hand, which is in red. This avoids unwanted reflections and guarantees perfect readability of the watch.

Watch is in excellent condition as can be seen on the actual pictures here and there are no dents or major scratches.
