Looking back: Porsche Design’s 911 Sport Classic Chronograph Looking back with longing, yet moving forward – this seems to be part of human nature. Whether it’s fashion or art, architecture or engineering, both factors drive our lives. But this balancing act between cultivating tradition and driving progress is particularly evident in the automotive and watch industries. This is also reflected in the latest products from Porsche and Porsche Design: the 911 Sport Classic from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, limited to 1,250 units, and the accompanying 911 Sport Classic Chronograph designed for its buyers. high quality cheap watches
Retro chic: 911 blends the best of past and present
Both the car and the watch are on display at the Porsche Museum (Porscheplatz 1). The futuristic building designed by Delugan Meissl houses 5,600 square meters of exhibition space, allowing a detailed look at the company's history. This is very important. After all, the history of Porsche and its car designs over the past few decades have a huge influence on the purchasing decision of every car that leaves the factory floor - whether it's a Macan, Taycan, Panamera or Carrera.
One of the most coveted 911s in collector circles is the Carrera RS 2.7 from the early 1970s (the first 911 to bear the Carrera suffix). Only 1,580 units of the 210 hp six-cylinder boxer engine were produced between 1972 and 1973. They're purebred fun machines, tough as nails, blazingly fast, and perfect for Alpine passes and racetracks around the world. Well-preserved RS 2.7s are now selling for six figures. Partly because they embody a piece of Porsche history, but also because they convey so well the spirit of the 1970s; a mixture of boldness and dandyness, light-heartedness and lively spirit. replica Richard Mille Rafael Nadal Watch
It was this model that became the inspiration for the small-series 911 Sport Classic, which not only drew visually from the 1960s and 1970s, but also offered the driver a sense of purity as a 550-hp manual transmission of fun cars. Following the equally limited 911 R (500 hp) and the current GT3 (510 hp), it now gives you the most powerful shifting and clutch yet. With a "ducktail" spoiler at the rear, a houndstooth pattern on the center seats and two-tone black and cognac leather, this is a 21st century 911 with the same dimensions, acceleration and direction as the current Turbo S Stability that will make any car enthusiast happy.
It's a collector's item, in sporty gray metallic, painted rather than with simple foil double stripes (which is standard on Ferrari racing cars in Italy), but here in Stuttgart it's a sign of Exclusive Manufaktur sophistication. Sure, it's all vintage, but most importantly, it's chic and totally exciting. It makes you dream of hitting the coastal roads of southern France, or taking a shortcut to the Grossglockner mountain range east of the Brenner Pass. replica Patek Philippe Watches
Stop...and go, go, go!
Porsche Design chronograph transformed into collectible
When taking a journey like this in a car like this, there's one watch buyers should definitely have on their wrist: the 911 Classic Chronograph. Designing a watch to match a car is already a well-known tradition at Porsche Design. Whether it is the Porsche Turbo S Exclusive Series, GT 3 or 911 Classic predecessor, or the cherry red 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition, the Swiss manufacturer based in Solothurn always finds a worthy interpretation for the wrist.
In the case of the Chronograph 911 Classic, this means that this watch is technically and aesthetically based on the 1919 Chronotimer Flyback model, equipped with the WERK 01.200 movement, and inherits the design elements of the new 911 Classic. What is unusual about this chronograph is that for the first time, buyers have great freedom in choosing the dial, as the model can be ordered in three different forms: a simple matte black dial, a racing dial The interior of the car features a stripe-inspired matte black dial, a sporty light gray, or the seats in a houndstooth pattern. best replica watch site
The oscillating weight is designed as a wheel, while the two straps in black and cognac can be easily changed via a quick-change system. Both are crafted from the same leather as the 911, with white chronograph hands on the dial combined with green numerals and index markers, and a retro gold Porsche Design logo and 911 Sport Classic lettering on the running seconds dial. So there are a lot of vintage elements that harken back to the 1970s, when Porsche Design was first founded and the Chronograph 1 put the brand on the map in the watch world.

“Is this a 911 Sport Classic?”
FA Porsche, the father of the 911 and the founder of Porsche Design, once summed up his immense creativity in the following words: "If we want something, we have to do it ourselves." This combination of boldness and dynamic self-confidence still exists today. Characteristic of the Porsche and Porsche Design brands. The first of four special Heritage Design Editions models is the 450-hp Targa 4S designed specifically for the 1950s, of which 992 cherry-red sports cars were produced. At the time, the car also had a special Porsche Design watch, and as was the case at the time, and as is customary with such special editions, the Classic Chrono could only be purchased by those who also owned the car. replica luxury watches
This watch reveals much more than time, because like no other timepiece it combines the passion for watchmaking and automobiles. It's also unlikely that we'll see more products emerge from this particular segment, although there will eventually be two Heritage models coming, as the '80s and '90s are sure to be honored at some point as well.
Finally, all those who prefer a more down-to-earth driving style should remember that using the Porsche Design configurator it is possible to personalize the watch even without a special model. In addition, after the launch of special models, the special design specifications of the Heritage models will also be integrated into the various functions of the condensed design package of the 911 series. Because, while it's fun to look back, Porsche's first priority is always to keep moving forward. Jacob & Co. replica Watches
