Now isn’t this lovely? This is the Porsche Design Cronographe PTC. I must admit, I was drawn first to the leather strap with its distinctive orange stitching. Whilst I love leather straps, and hardly ever go for anything else, a black leather strap is my least favourite. This one is different, though: to me, the orange stitching makes all the difference.

Then I turned to the dial. I am not really into ‘busy’ dials that have all sorts of things going on, but this one works, somehow. Perhaps the titanium case and well-spaced numbers give it a less cluttered look. This watch comes at a super-affordable price of 5,600 euros, and is most definitely a very tempting prospect. However, with it being a limited edition, I expect many prospective buyers will return empty-handed.

Specs. Movement: automatic chronograph caliber ETA 2894-2 with special Porsche Design rotor. Water resistant to 100m. Power reserve: 42 hours. Titanium case.
