Watch Guide Video: Porsche Design - 1970's Chronograph 1 'TOP GUN'

It only takes one rule-breaker with a bright spark of inspiration to change the course of history.

Grandson of the founder of the legendary Porsche car company, Ferdinand "Butzi" Porsche kicked his career off with a bang when his first major design work was shown to the public in 1963 - it was the first Porsche 911.

A decade later, Butzi struck it out on his own by starting his own industrial design studio, Porsche Design. His first product, a watch unlike any other. Named simply the "Chronograph 1", and built by high-end Swiss watchmaker Orfina, this timepiece was the very first in history to come in an all-black colourway.

 

 

The Chronograph 1 we have here is in excellent condition, having recently had a full movement overhaul, and includes several spare bracelet links.

This watch is available for purchase in store and online!
