Porsche Design Watch....how much?

[Callughan]

Saw this watch today at the Porsche Design Store for £150k, I love watches but for this price there are so many more prestigious and unique offerings. Luckily the non gold version was £75K so I suppose you could buy that one and a used 997 GT3;)

Christ! That watch is hideous! I prefer some of their more classic offerings ...

It has a very complicated mechanism . impressive for what it is , has several firsts also I believe .

True, appreciate it took many skilled watchmakers a very long time to make a unique construction. However Porsche Design watches are generally not associated at this price range of watch, the non gold version is a volume watch and does not use any precious materials. The gold one I was informed is limited to a production of 15 and at least the gold may be worth 1/15th of the watches price;)

Actually they have had a couple of watches over 100 000 pounds all have sold as far as i know . i remember the one a few years ago that mechanically changed digital numerals or some such funk . was stunning if a little too big .
