Ferdinand Alexander Porsche in memoriam

[MichaelSC]

F.A. Porsche døde forleden, han blev 76 år.

Indehaveren af Porsche Design hjalp i 1980 med at vende skuden for IWC efter at quartz-bølgen havde taget livet af så mange ur-producenter i Schweitz.

Her er et link til en 'workbook' side med det første ur som IWC og Porsche Design udviklede sammen:

Lidt interessant læsning i Wiki:

Dog en faktuel fejl, Porsche designede ikke det første Titanium ur for IWC, men det første Titanium kronograf.

Fin artikel i N.Y. times:
