Worn by Orlando Bloom. Originally designed by Prof. F. A. Porsche.

Drawing on the heritage of the 1972 model originally designed by Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, the Chronograph 1 – All Black Numbered Edition is made in Switzerland and fuses two closely related passions in one wearable design classic – automotive and timekeeping.

“I’ve always had a deep appreciation for products crafted with excellence.”

On the back, the sapphire crystal case back provides a view of the mechanical movement and the Porsche Design icon winding rotor. The consecutive numbering is also laser-engraved on the titanium base.

Building a Porsche collection

Being drawn to speed from an early age, Orlando’s second car was a 1973 911 S. This black and tan model is still in his possession and his admiration has since grown into a private Porsche collection. After learning that F.A. Porsche, the designer of the 911, also created an iconic timepiece based on same design principles, the Chronograph 1 has become his preferred watch for everyday wear.

Common ground:
A mutual understanding of craftsmanship

Based on shared values of authenticity and dedication, this partnership reflects not only a deep understanding of heritage but a well-cultivated passion for expertly manufactured icons: “For me, Porsche Design embodies just that: timeless design and the highest quality.”.
