The world's first mechanical digital display chronograph.<BR><BR>Its
movement is the most complicated ever designed for a production
series, a world-first with no less than 800 pieces. <br><br>In 1973,
Professor F.A. Porsche took his passion for mechanics to the extreme
by developing a wristwatch inspired by the dashboard of the mythical
911. He created the first black chronograph ever sold, and surprised
the watch making world by bringing unprecedented legibility to market.
Thirty years after it first entered production, like his fetish racing
car, the chronograph still looks up to the minute. A worthy heir to
the brand, the INDICATOR is mostly made of titanium, a reminder that
Porsche Design was the first to sell watches entirely made of the
light, extremely strong metal.<br><br>The INDICATOR's character is
assertive and exclusive; it's a monster of technology and unique
design. From case to dial, bracelet included, its appearance has
nothing in common with any other watch. Every design detail was
inspired directly by the brand's legendary savoir-faire in
automobiles, and it owes much to the new Porsche Carrera
GT.<br><br>The INDICATOR is a world first in mechanical watches. Not a
watch created with just its external appearance in mind, but the fruit
of functional internal design. Their perfect mastery of the technique
gave the in-house designers total freedom to explore every imaginable
option of form, color and material.<br><br>At the end of 2000, Ernst
F. Seyr, president and managing director of Eterna SA (owned by
Porsche since 1995) suggested the idea of a super chronograph by
Porsche Design/Eterna. As an amateur pilot fascinated by mechanics,
the new head of the group knew how hard it can be to use a classic
chronograph in real-life, and how stress, poor light or vibration can
make them almost impossible to read.<br><br>The next step from there
was to envisage the development of a real instrument that could be
used as a chronometer at a glance without having to decipher minute
auxiliary dials. That's where the INDICATOR came in. At the end of
2000, Porsche Design gave engineers the go-ahead for development, and
entrusted a feasibility study of the INDICATOR project to the Master
watchmaker Paul Gerber. A year later, a dozen engineers, technicians
and watchmakers from Eterna undertook the development of the
revolutionary chronograph's first prototypes and limited series
production. After three years of relentless effort, the first
INDICATOR saw the light of day.<br><br>The finely studied detail of
the dial and hands on the INDICATOR is designed for perfect legibility
whatever the circumstances.The semi-skeletal hands, coated in
SuperLuminova, obscure the main indicators as little as possible to
give a precise reading, even in poor viewing conditions. The figures
and hours are also coated in SuperLuminova.<br><br>The slightly domed
42mm sapphire crystal, in built motion work, clear and simple dial
structure, easy-to-handle elongated push buttons with transverse
grooves in Porsche drive mechanism, and 9mm screwed down winding crown
all of the elements of the new Porsche design are reminiscent of the
Carrera GT. On the back of the case, a sapphire crystal base secured
by six magnificent screws lets you admire the winding crown's splendid
rotor in the form of a Carrera GT wheel rim. The titanium rotor wheel
offers an excellent resistance/volume ratio, and the solid red gold
exterior rotor supplies the requisite energy to the INDICATOR'S four
spring drums. <br><br>The INDICATOR is fitted on a solid black rubber
strap that has the Carrera GT's Michelin tyre tread on its inner
surface. Grooves on the strap's outer surface help reduce perspiration
and improve comfort and ease of wear. The strap is fastened with
double tongue buckle, and finished with two elegant titanium
loops.<br><br> The caliber that drives the INDICATOR was developed
from an ETA base. As well as a new main plate and house-manufactured
bridges, it incorporates over 400 new components in the cage. A real
mechanical masterpiece, it comprises almost 800 pieces in
total.<br><br>The plate of this impressive movement is 36mm in
diameter, which is the right vital dimension for good legibility of
the digital display. Four spring drums provide it with energy. The
first drives the basic movement. There are three others (whose force
is controlled by three centrifugal brakes) for the display mechanisms'
chrono-digital functions. The indicator disks are commuted in two
tenths of a second and returned to zero by an engine drive. In other
words, they are rest to zero the classic way, by a simple action on
the lower push button.<br><br>The design of the common power reserve
display for all functions is protected by a special patent. The
INDICATOR'S power reserve shows how much residual power remains in the
four spring drums relative to the state of activation of the four
winding springs. The color-coded display enables immediate reading of
the watch's power reserve.<br><br> Porsche Design envisaged an
innovative functional control with the basic caliber. The movement
function is controlled second by second with a new mechanical flash
display. Three dial windows show a disk with red and white segments
whose alternating colors indicate the movement is working as it
should. With this new style of display, you can see immediately
whether the instrument is ready to fulfill all functions.<br><br>The
INDICATOR comes in three versions, natural grey titanium, titanium
with black finish and rose gold. The exterior measurements and complex
mechanics of this monster of technology are an impressive: 49 mm
diameter, 18mm thick, water resistant to 50 meters. Produced in very
limited edition (a total of 50 worldwide) the INDICATOR is already an
exceptional piece that only very few enthusiasts will ever have the
chance of owning. <br> Avante-garde design and technology merge to
produce stunning timepieces as efficient as the carmaker's line of
high performance vehicles. With novel materials, exciting dial colors
and innovative movement decorations, Porsche Design continues to
produce gorgeous watches that the car lover and watch afficianado may
both appreciate. Case in point is the recently released Porsche PTC
911 with mag-wheel inspired rotor design that may have you spending
more time looking through the sapphire crystal caseback, than at the
actual time.
