Silver dial. Base colour: Silver. Rubber strap in Silver Grey. Available from November 2012. WAP 070 084 0D What do all of our new Sport Classic chronographs have in common? The close relationship to the great cars that inspired them. Lightweight construction is of major importance, as it is in motorsport. Because the casing is traditionally the heaviest part of a watch, in the new models this is made from aluminium. A combination of components, borrowed from automotive engineering: aluminium, stainless steel and rubber are used in all of our new Sport Classic chronographs. In some cases, we’ve even used carbon, for example in the dial of the 918 Spyder Sport Classic chronograph and the 911 GT3 R Sport Classic chronograph. Some components were especially hardened with a PVD coating, a process used in auto motive engineering to ensure exceptional stability and durability. Fittings as standard: luminescent hands, stop- Black carbon with Acid Green: the 918 Spyder Sport Classic chronograph – limited edition. Limited to 918 pieces.

Despite what you may think, this is not what you’d call ‘earthy’. Brown dial. Base colour: Black. Brown accent colour. Black rubber strap. Available from November 2012. WAP 070 083 0D In the beginning was the sports car. 8 – 9 The new Sport Classic chronographs were designed to be sporty. But what does that mean, exactly? Both in motorsport and with watches this means one thing first and foremost: lightness. Every gramme that is shaved off the weight affects the performance. In motorsport this is measured in hundredths of a second. This principle is reflected in the new chronographs thanks to a light aluminium casing. The new smaller format of 42 mm diameter also gives our chronographs a more sporty look than ever. The mix of materials – aluminium, stainless steel and rubber – makes them robust yet lightweight and pleasant to wear. The 918 Spyder Sport Classic chronograph. The colour design of the 918 Spyder Sport Classic is based on the corporate design of the super sports car: Black elements contrasted with glowing Acid Green. The integrated carbon on the dial symbolises the extreme lightness and high performance of the Spyder. And that’s not all they have in common. Like the 918 Spyder, of which only 918 cars will be manufactured, this model is also limited – to exactly 918 pieces. 918 Spyder Sport Classic chronograph – limited edition. Limited to 918 pieces. WAP 070 081 0D 10 – 11 911 Sport Classic chronograph. WAP 070 084 0D The Sport Classic chronographs 911 and 911 Turbo. A key element in the design of the new 911 Sport Classic chronograph is the current external colours of the Porsche 911 Carrera. While the Sport Classic 911 is entirely in classic Silver, the Sport Classic 911 Turbo model opts for understatement in its colour scheme: Macadamia Metallic coupled with a Black base. The dials of both models feature a pyramid structure reminiscent of the old days of motorsport. The pyramid structure is a jagged profile that is achieved by a process known as ‘knurling’. In automotive engineering this facilitates higher torque in shaft-hub connections. This pattern is also found around the edges of calibration screws, ensuring better grip and greater precision. 911 Turbo Sport Classic chronograph.

The secret of PrimaLoft ® is its microfibres, which are woven into a fine textile. PrimaLoft ® is light, soft and, unlike other materials, such as down, retains warmth even when wet. It insulates perfectly, while remaining breathable. It is windproof, waterproof and dries quickly. PrimaLoft ® can also be packed tightly so it takes up very little space in your luggage. The jacket can be rolled up and stored in the jacket’s own inner pocket. Once it is unpacked the fabric immediately returns to its original shape. PrimaLoft ® is durable, high quality, and you won’t want to go through the winters of the future without it. PrimaLoft ® is now available as standard in our winter collection.

WAP 936 0XS-XXL 0D 14 – 15 Never too early. The Baby Porsche RSR push-along car is in pole position to win the hearts of the tiniest motorsport enthusiasts. We expect it to be at least as successful as its design inspirations from the world of motorsport, the 918 RSR and the long-distance legend 911 GT3 RSR. The famous abbreviation RSR stands for ‘Rennsport Renn wagen’ or ‘motorsport racing car’ and was used for the first time in 1973 with the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 3.0. This car was developed specifically for GT races and in its fi rst season won 3 international and 7 national championships. This legend has found a worthy and highly successful successor in the 911 GT3 RSR, which races in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the American Le Mans Series and in the International GT Open. Porsche invested the most up-to-date technology and efficient drive systems in this series, and their approach to the Baby Porsche RSR is no different: here, too, it’s all about performance. In this case the drive takes the form of the muscle power of the little driver, who moves the body of robust plastic in Silver Blue Metallic. The Baby Porsche RSR is the perfect starter car for youngsters aged 1.5 to 3 years old. Consider this the first stage in a journey into the grand world of Porsche motorsport, which may lead via the 911 kids’ pedal car to the Porsche Junior Programme and a place in the cockpit for the 911 GT3 Cup, perhaps even behind the wheel of a 911 GT3 RSR. Porsche has been fostering young talent through the Junior Programme since 1997. Young drivers Baby Porsche RSR.

Since the 1950s the company known as Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG has published an annual calendar. The first edition was released in 1954 together with Christophorus, Porsche’s customer magazine. In keeping with the practice at that time of publishing customers’ travelogues in the magazine, the calendar also included photos sent in by Porsche enthusiasts. These included pictures of skiing trips in the mountains or visits to the pyramids of Egypt, always involving a Porsche, of course. Later on, the calendar’s design was entrusted entirely to renowned photographers, designers and artists. In 1962 the magazine included a medal for the first time. The idea behind this was to give our customers a ‘talisman to accompany them on every trip’. In the meantime, the Porsche medals and calendars have become muchcoveted collector’s items. Unlike the calendars produced by other German auto makers, old Porsche calendars fetch handsome prices, according to Marcel Seidel, proprietor of Seidel & Friedrich auctioneers in Ladenburg. An early edition of the Porsche calendar in good condition and with the collector’s coin can be worth over £500. What is the reason for this? Since price is determined by demand, it is The Porsche calendar has won a number of international the Porsche enthusiasts who account for the difference. design competitions over the years – for example, in Quite simply, Porsche inspires passion like no other car. 2010 the Porsche calendar won a gold medal at the Mercury Excellence Awards, while in 2011 it won silver.

Both of these racing cars were developed by Porsche Motor Sport in Weissach and were built in a custom manufacturing workshop. They are built by hand, just like the collector’s models. Of course, there is a difference of scale. This makes them not miniature copies, but miniature originals, which can take pride of place in any collection. Of course, the cars are best placed in pole position, just like their full-size models the 911 GT3 RSR and 911 GT3 R Hybrid.

Personified. 28 – 29 The central locking mechanism. Porsche associates motorsport with more than just the racetrack. It’s also part of daily life. For example, the central wheel locking system has made a transition from being a technical function to a design feature in Driver’s Selection by Porsche Design accessories. The central locking system serves as a simpler way to affi x wheels to a car. Instead of the typical wheel nuts, wheels with central locking are affi xed with just a single wheel bolt. This allows wheels to be fi tted quicker, saving precious seconds that can make the difference between winning and losing a race. The technology was developed as far back as the 1920s and first appeared on Italian racing cars before spreading throughout the world. Porsche has used the central locking mechanism for some time now, and indeed was the first car maker to take them from the racetrack onto the street in the form of the wheels of the RS Spyder, which are also available for the Porsche 911 Turbo S and 911 GT2 RS. Some Driver’s Selection by Porsche Design accessories were constructed based on the central locking mechanism design: wine bottle stoppers, pens and bottle openers that add a touch of motorsport to everyday life. A number of items are made from original Porsche parts, such as the office organiser. You may not win any races, but it’s certain to grab the attention of all who see it. Wine bottle stopper.

The most important principles remain fine craft and workmanship, if necessary with needle and thread. A Porsche 911 in an exclusive finish requires the use of up to 8 cowhides and the total length of all seams comes to more than 9 metres. Driver’s Selection by Porsche Design accessories enjoy a similarly exclusive status. They are finished from original Porsche leather and naturally bear the Porsche crest. Their design is timeless, classic and elegant. The workmanship is sublime. It leaves little to be desired. 34 – 35 Would you like to see our entire collection? Then take a look through our e-folder.
