What to know

Porsche Design’s second Chronograph 1 collaboration with Hodinkee centres on a practical change to the stopwatch display: elapsed minutes are read from a centrally mounted hand. The WERK 01.340 automatic movement also provides a 24-hour indication and is specified with COSC certification and a 60-hour power reserve.

The uncoated titanium case is paired with a matching bracelet, while an additional Agave Green leather Bund strap offers a different wearing configuration. Red details distinguish the chronograph indications against the black dial, and each caseback carries its individual edition number.

Porsche Design announced the watch on 1 October 2026, with availability beginning that day and a European price of €8,950. Production is limited to 350 pieces. This is initial Chronolume coverage of that earlier announcement, not a new mid-October launch.
