The famous brand of Porsche Design Studio was established back in 1972 in Stuttgart by a grandson of the famous Porsche founder, who wanted to create something more than a brand for cars, he wanted to extend the company's horizons to other fields of activity and to the manufacturing of other products. Many of the items proposed by Porsche Design maintain the sporty features of the classic Porsche car and are especially designed for men. Some of the products manufactured today by Porsche Design range from luggage, eye-glasses, wristwatches pens, wallets and so on, all this products being best-selling items not only because of the famous reputation of the brand, but because they display the most elegant and posh appearance, for those who appreciate style and prestige. Some of the most successful products presented by Porsche Design fall under the category of men's watches and are timepieces which recreate impressive designs and respectable technical mechanisms. The fact that Porsche has always put a high price on design and on appearance is obvious in their watch collections as well, and this passion for beauty and for the attractive seemed to pay off.

The case of the watch is made of titanium and uses rubber finishing giving a more modern touch of design. The watch is available on a light gray shade and the matte color hints to a certain level of hardiness and resistance, the sapphire crystal coverage contributing also to this idea of a secured mechanism.

The dial of the new Porsche Design Worldtimer watch provides wonderful legibility, with its organized features displayed on the dial and with the Arabic numerals indicating the hours.
