The new Porsche Design watch, the Chronograph 1 – F.A.T. 2025 Edition, pays tribute to one of the most powerful Porsche models from the 20th century—the Porsche 962. It is a revamped version of a model that was introduced into the market in the ‘70s. While the first model was characterized by a black monochromatic appearance, the new watch has a white minimalistic look. Porsche Design took a new path with this new watch—it’s definitely a mirror of the previous model.

However, most components draw inspiration from different parts of the Porsche 962. Since this sports car has a rich motorsports history, Porsche Design teamed up with an organization that focuses on motorsports, F.A.T. International. At the 3 o’clock denotation, a red inscription reads this—F.A.T.

Apart from that, it’s equipped with a 43mm casing manufactured from titanium to withstand harsh environmental conditions. To make it more stylish, Porsche Design opted for a high-quality coating accentuated by a black color.

It’s worth noting that this watch has striking red color accents, similar to those featured on the Porsche 962.

Porsche Design rolled out this new model with two straps that complement the dial and the casing. The white strap matches the dial, while the purple strap creates a contrast that highlights other elements, such as the black titanium casing.

When it comes to the overall performance, this new chronograph runs on the WERK 01.240 mechanism.

If you’d like this piece of Porsche memorabilia, you’ll be part of an exclusive club. The new Chronograph 1 timepiece will be capped at 136 pieces and each will cost $11,500.

Hublot celebrates 20 years with a Big Bang fusion
The Big Bang Original is Fused with the Big Bang Unico
Hublot 20th closeup

Hublot is one of the most innovative watch brands in the 21st century. While they have found themselves on the cutting edge of the industry for a long time, their Big Bang line largely carried them from the middle of the road to a more widespread, sought-after brand by collectors everywhere. When the Big Bang line dropped in 2005, it was the brainchild of the same mind that reinvented Omega through the use of product placement with none other than James Bond. They trusted it, and customers followed through. Now, the Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary takes what made the original so popular and combines it with what makes the newer Unico so beloved.

“The Hublot Big Bang is undoubtedly one of the modern icons of 21st-century watchmaking," says Hublot CEO Julien Tornare. "This year, we’re not only looking back at all that Hublot has achieved through the Big Bang but also looking towards the future and all the potential it still holds and possibilities it offers. I am immensely proud of what the Big Bang 20th Anniversary capsule collection represents by bridging the nostalgia of 20 years ago with the present and future of what the Hublot manufacturer is capable of accomplishing. Here’s to the next 20 years!”
