Grenchen/Stuttgart. Porsche Design stands for timelessness, functionality and purism. These qualities come to the fore in the Three-Hands and Chronograph models of the Flat Six line. The proven aesthetics of the Flat Six collection are en-hanced by new colour combinations and PVD-coated cases. The collection is named after the six-cylinder Boxer engines which have contributed so magnifi-cently to the international reputation of the Porsche brand. The new summer models featuring light colours are available from now on.
“If you think about the function of something, the design sometimes simply be-comes obvious,” Porsche Design founder Ferdinand Alexander Porsche is quoted as saying, describing his work as a designer. It is a credo to which Porsche Design still subscribes. The new watches are imbued with clarity and distinctiveness, a fact underscored by their baton hands, precisely wrought dials, large digits and clear indices. This focus on the essential lends the watches a unique aesthetic touch. The date of the chronograph – displayed at three o’clock – is preceded by the weekday. The 30-minute counter is below the twelve o’clock position, while the hour totalisator is located above the six o’clock position. The triangular seconds indicator is at the nine o’clock position. Just a short glance is enough to check whether the watch is running.
The case of the Flat Six exudes power and dynamism. The four grooves machined into its flanks allude to the compression and wiper rings of the six-cylinder engine. The ergonomic push-pieces for the chronographic functions are seamlessly inte-grated into the case. Characteristic of Porsche Design watches is the tyre-tread profile on the inside surface of the caoutchouc strap, which aids ventilation. The sapphire crystal back offers a view of the energy-optimised self-winding rotor. The Flat Six P’6310 is powered by a calibre ETA 2892-A2 self-winding movement. The P’6340 Chronograph is equipped with a Valjoux 7750 movement and comes with a certificate of precision issued by the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC).
