Debuting at Couture 2015: Porsche Design Chronotimer Series 1
Sports watches with titanium cases are now de rigeur for many luxury brands, but few may realize how revolutionary such a watch seemed back in 1980, when Porsche Design launched the very first such timepiece, the Titanium Chronograph. The new Porsche Design watch collection, called Chronotimer Series 1, which debuts at this week’s Couture watch and jewelry show in Las Vegas, hearkens back to that groundbreaking watch as well as the very first Porsche Design watch, 1972’s Chronograph I.The Porsche Design Chronotimer Series 1 represents a significant step for the brand, which was founded by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche (1935-2012), grandson of the car company founder and designer of the legendary Porsche 911.

Quick poll: SS Blue Sky Dweller or AP 15400st Black Dial?
Hello, Need some help, I have the opportunity to get from a grey dealer a SS Sky Dweller blue dial, at premium price of course, or a AP 15400 below Mrsp, both BNIB with stickers. The AP would be 1000� less. In order to fund this purchase I would need to flip my sd43 bought last summer. I got a very good quote from the dealer I'm dealing with, that meaning I will be slightly on plus with the sd43.At the moment my other watch is a Panerai Radiomir 572.What should I do?Thanks.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
