Porsche Design Timepiece No. 1 Debuts
The Porsche Design Timepiece No. 1 is the first watch to debut from the new "independent" Porsche Design watch brand. We first spoke about the upcoming Porsche Design Timepiece No. 1 here, when discussing Porsche Design's plans to produce their own watches after breaking up with long-term production partner Eterna.You can see that previous article for more information, but in a nutshell, rather than work with outside partners, Porsche Design will be doing watch production themselves.

Hence it's now 11+ years old. Still young...--------------------------------------------------------
