Porsche Design MONOBLOC ACTUATOR.

The Porsche Design Timepieces AG utilized technology transfer from the world of motorsport to develop the technology of the newMONOBLOC ACTUATOR Titanium Chronograph from Porsche Design.

Inspired by the functionality of the high RPM mechanical valve control of the new Porsche 911 RSR, the engineers at Porsche Design Timepieces AG invented an integrated rocker switch, which controls the chronograph’s operation entirely from inside the watch’s case. This paradigmatic example of performance at the highest level exemplifies precision engineering in the smallest possible space.

What qualities do motorsport and time measurement share in common: Precision, functionality, and performance in every second. Like a racecar, a wris twatch is a typical product of the 20th century, which has repeatedly spurred engineers and technicians to achieve progressively greater feats.
