Porsche Design Chronotimer Series 1 Flyback
An art in and of itself: keeping up with the zeitgeist. And at the same time outliving it. This has been the objective of all Porsche Design timepieces since 1972.

By using titanium from the casing to the clasp Porsche Design guarantees the comfort one has come to expect. The chronograph features the new Werk 01.200 with flyback function.
