Description

The 901 RWB Stella is a limited edition timepiece made from Akira Nakai’s RWB Porsche, ‘Stella’.

Developed through close collaboration with Akira Nakai and the RWB team, featuring chassis parts from the “Stella Artois” worked into the intricate dial, the 901 RWB Stella timepiece is designed to capture the unmistakable marriage of aggressive beauty and performance that defines RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF.

Named for his beverage of choice, the “Stella” is Nakai-san’s own personal vehicle. Twelve years in the making, this ’85 Porsche 930 has become one of the most distinctive Porsche 911s anywhere in the world. From its sophisticated bodywork to its countless laps of racing experience, the Stella is considered the genesis of all RWB vehicles.

Artform

Conversions

 

Nakai-san stands as a revered figure in the automotive and drifting realms, celebrated for his expertise in customizing classic Porsche 911s with bespoke wide-body kits and daring fender modifications.

Characterized by their unique blend of craftsmanship and controversy, Nakai-san’s RWB conversions are predominantly executed by hand, resulting in creations that captivate enthusiasts worldwide.

In stark contrast to Porsche’s methodical and understated approach to enhancements, Nakai-san’s unorthodox and spirited methodology stands out. His conversion projects serve as transformative journeys, giving rise to bold and extreme identities, akin to the transformation from the refined Dr. Jekyll to the enigmatic Mr. Hyde.

Original parts

Lovingly preserved

 

While Nakai-san’s profession revolves around pushing classic Porsche 911s to the extreme, his deep affection for the original cars is evident in his meticulous preservation of every removed hood in his Kashiwa, Japan garage.

This dedication allowed Nakai-san and his team to supply us with original parts leftover from their conversion endeavors, which we skillfully transformed into watch dials.

Coated with a transparent lacquer and seamlessly integrated into the 901-RWB design, these components mark the culmination of their arduous transformative journey.

The essence of RAUH-Welt Begriff (RWB) and Nakai-san’s unwavering commitment to his automotive craft are encapsulated in a limited run of just 305 watches.

Disruptive

Down to its DNA

 

The REC x RWB project spanned two years, symbolizing a bold departure from the traditional Porsche realm embodied by this vehicle.

Capturing the essence and DNA of the car proved to be a formidable task, resulting in over two years of continual refinement to achieve the watch you see today.

Incorporating elements from the extreme wide-body kit, striking black-and-gold color scheme, and sporty hubcaps, the design of the 44 mm case embodies the essence of the vehicle.

Inspired by the spirited nature of the Stella, the 901 RWB Stella’s sandwich dial showcases month and day indications positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock, respectively, represented by Japanese characters in homage to Nakai-san’s homeland.

Enhancing comfort and wearability, the 901 RWB Stella is paired with an ultra-flexible FKM Viton black rubber strap, ensuring an unparalleled experience on the wrist.

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.
