FAQs
Does Porsche make its own watches?
Porsche itself doesn’t actually make watches, but its design division, Porsche Design, does. So, while Porsche cars and Porsche Design watches come from the same family, the watches are crafted by specialized experts dedicated to performance timepieces that carry that Porsche spirit on your wrist.
Are Porsche Design watches made by IWC?
Porsche Design watches used to be made by IWC. Back in the ’90s and early 2000s, they teamed up to create some iconic pieces. But these days, Porsche Design handles its own watchmaking. They’ve brought everything in-house, focusing on their own style and tech to create modern watches that really capture that Porsche vibe.
Do Porsche Design watches hold value?
When it comes to holding value, they’re not typically the kind of watches that skyrocket in price like some vintage Rolex or Patek models. That said, Porsche Design watches are known for their solid build quality, distinctive styling, and strong brand heritage, which is linked to Porsche’s automotive excellence, which helps them maintain a decent resale value over time. If you pick a limited edition or a model with some rare features, it could hold or even increase its value a bit more.
When was the first Porsche Design watch created?
The first Porsche Design watch came out back in 1972. It was a pretty big deal because it was one of the first all-black watches on the market.
