The Porsche Design watch will appeal to everyone

Porsche Design is not just another luxury brand. Creators of luxury men's watches, this famous brand name also appears on men's accessories such as luggage, pens, leather goods and the highly desirable range of Porsche sunglasses.

The Porsche Design watch will not appeal to everyone; there is no delicate craftwork such as engraving and detailing, no fancy decoration of visible components synonymous of many watchmakers. These are not showy men's wristwatches; these watches are minimalist with the emphasis firmly on functionality. The ethos of the brand, that of pure disciplined design results in perfect understated styling in the finished form - familiar to those discerning collectors with a knowledge of the Bauhaus philosophy, which unites art and craft with technology.

The Porsche Design Company is not a prolific creator of watch models, preferring to produce a small portfolio. One of these the P6340 Automatic Chronograph, part of the Flat Six collection ticks all the boxes if you desire a sporty timepiece of finest construction, intelligently designed using a powerful combination of modern materials. Available in white or black dial including a black dial with the use of gold, this designer watch has a professional instrument-like look. The chronograph counters become a contrasting feature in themselves particularly in the PVD-coated models in a super-cool black/red combination. The straps available are the more traditional steel bracelet style or an ultra endurable rubber variation.

This is a superb sports watch, functional for use in all conditions with clear highly legible florescent markers. Measuring 44.5mm across the Automatic Chronograph sits a massive 15mm high on the wrist, not a modest timepiece by any stretch of the imagination and it is waterproof to 120m.

In the pursuit of design perfection Porsche Design watches have created a prestige sports watch in the form of the P6340 Automatic Chronograph. As the awareness of mechanical timepieces continues to increase these watches meet the demands of the brand-conscious wearer both in terms of design and quality - clearly a modern classic.
