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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
