“It’s not technology that makes history, but the people who invented it.”

– Ferdinand Porsche

When EVOLUTION

Beats REVOLUTION

 

The genesis of the 911 dates back to 1959 when Ferdinand “Butzi” Porsche, son of Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, sketched its initial designs.

Conceived as a successor to the Porsche 356, the company’s inaugural consumer car, the Porsche 911 was envisioned to offer increased spaciousness, power, and comfort.

Upon its release in September 1964, the 911 swiftly asserted itself as an emblem of 1960s cool. Throughout subsequent decades, it garnered acclaim for its performance in the 1970s, sophistication in the 1980s, and athleticism and power in the 1990s.

Today, the Porsche 911 stands as the quintessential embodiment of German sports car craftsmanship.

Noteworthy is its gradual evolution in exterior design, maintaining the iconic curves from its 1964 origins through each successive generation. In an industry marked by rapid reinvention, this steadfast continuity underscores the 911’s unwavering commitment to its heritage.

Less Processing

More Character

 

An estimated 70 percent of the over one million Porsche 911s ever produced still roam the roads—a testament to their enduring quality.

With our 901 Collection, our mission is to seek out retired 911s and repurpose their components for our timepieces. Our approach involves recycling exterior parts and incorporating them into the watch dial with minimal alteration, preserving the distinct patina and rugged charm of the 901 Collection.

Upon receiving these parts, we meticulously stamp them into watch dials. The quantity and condition of available parts dictate the number of dials we can produce, ensuring each one bears a unique patina.

To prepare the components, we carefully remove any residual paint or primer, revealing the bare metal underneath. A thin coat of transparent lacquer is then delicately applied to achieve a flat surface and create a vacuum, halting the oxidation process.

Additionally, we conduct thorough research to uncover the history and background of the previous owners, often relying solely on the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). By scanning the NFC storycard included in your 901 gift box, you can unveil the full narrative of the car that transformed into your watch.

When details

Matter the Most

 

In addition to housing a fragment of a 911, the 901 encapsulates the authentic essence of this legendary sports car.

While the recycled dial takes center stage, the design of the 901 incorporates numerous nods to the vehicle’s rich heritage spanning generations.

The rounded case mirrors the distinctive silhouette of the 911, complete with the iconic rear air intake nestled between the lugs. Positioned over the robust Miyota cal. 9100 movement, the exhibition case-back showcases the legendary Fuchs hubcap design, revealing a rotor adorned to resemble a brake disc.

Opposite the semi-submerged screw-in crown reminiscent of the Porsche’s horn button, a small plaque displays the VIN and production year of the actual 911 from which your watch is crafted. Embodying the spirit of the original five-dial cluster on the 911, the 901 features a sandwich dial with five functions, with the watch hands fashioned as replica gauge needles.

At the 12 o’clock position, the 40-hour power reserve emulates the gas and oil gauge found on early 911s, presented as a rotating disc that changes color with winding. Positioned at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock respectively, the month, date, and day complications are constructed as transparent discs with contrasting backgrounds and windows, enhancing the timepiece’s functionality and aesthetic appeal.

You can purchase this item in payment installments with Splitit - with no extra hidden costs. The installments will be spread over your chosen number of months and debited to your credit card.
Splitit installment payments at 0% interest: How does it work exactly?

Splitit allows you to split the total payment over a maximum of twelve months using your credit card. This service is free, involves no credit checks or applications, and means you can choose to split your payment into monthly installments.

To use this payment method all you need a credit card with a sufficient amount of available credit. Splitit authorizes the total order value—but don’t worry, this is not taken in full when you complete the purchase. At the time of shipping, only the first installment will be charged to your credit card. The remaining balance will be held on your credit card until the final payment has been made. However, a payment authorization for the outstanding amount of your purchase will be held during the full payment period.

After each monthly payment, the amount held from your available balance will be reduced to the new remaining balance (the held amount might appear as “pending”). To ensure that the authorization of your credit card is valid for the entire payment period, the authorization will be renewed every 21 days.

Are there any extra fees involved?

No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest, or hidden fees of any kind.

Which credit cards does Splitit support?

You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa card. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.

Do I have to maintain the required available credit amount on my credit card?

Yes, you must maintain a sufficient amount on your credit card for both the monthly payment and for the full outstanding amount of your purchase during the full period of the plan. The authorized amount will be charged only in the event that a monthly payment is declined (the authorization hold might appear as “pending” on your credit card bill).

What happens if I return the product?

If you decide to not keep the ordered item(s), upon return of the items we will reimburse the installments that have already been paid and cancel the outstanding payments.

When and where can I choose the number of installments for my payment plan?

Installment payments with Splitit can be chosen as a payment option during the checkout process. Here, you can choose the number of installments in your payment plan and view the monthly payment amounts.
