Ferdinand Alexander Porsche

[citation needed] Ferry set the main attributes concerning wheelbase, power figures and suspension and after Komenda still did not cooperate, he took F.A.

[citation needed] The original project code 901 was changed to 911 after intervention of Peugeot who had a trademark protection on three-number-combinations with "0" in the middle.

[citation needed] Its body shell was made of Fiberglass-reinforced resin at the aircraft company Heinkel.

The first product Porsche Design created was a chronograph wristwatch made by Swiss watchmaker company Orfina.

It was launched in 1973 and was different from other chronograph wristwatches, as its case and bracelet were made out of matte black chromed steel.

[citation needed] As many customers would have liked a normally-coloured watch, a version with bead-blasted stainless steel was issued.

The Porsche Design Chrono I was made in different versions — color of case and straps, print on dial — for several country's air forces, as well as the NATO alliance.

teamed up with Swiss watchmaker International Watch Company (IWC) to develop a wristwatch combining a non-magnetic automatic movement and a compass, the so-called Kompassuhr.

IWC had to develop work processes paying attention to titanium's specific properties.

The unique design aspect of the Titan Chronograph were the pushers to operate the stopwatch functions being integrated in the case's contour.

's appeal to using unusual materials showed in the very rare Chrono II made by IWC.

In 1996 the Swiss watchmaker Eterna, which invented the ball bearing for the winding rotor used in automatic movements, was bought by F.A.

Most often, they had some unique attributes — e.g., a saddle-shaped cushion adapting to the nose shape automatically and opening symmetrically through an internal cam mechanism.

He made several studies for metropolitan trains, a motorcycle, several bicycles and a slightly dolphin-shaped racing boat called Kineo.

Porsche Design came up with several bathroom designs, a washing machine, furniture, knives, television receivers, desk lamps (one with three telescoping radio antennas attaching the light bulb holder to the base and one employing design aspects of a guillotine in its pull-out mechanism), tobacco pipes with air-cooled-engine-inspired cooling fins, pens made out of wire-cloth used in oil hoses for racing engines, computer monitors, computer external hard drives, coffee makers, and even a grand piano for an Austrian manufacturer Bösendorfer.
