I remember in the late 80’s early 90’s seeing an ad for watches that looked like the clocks in either a 356, 911, or 911 C2/4. Does anyone remember this? It was in Panorama I think. Does anyone have any old Panorama that they could look in?
Thanks,
Michael

These weren't be Porsche Design. They looked just like the clocks in the dash of the 911 or the 914.

IIRC, they were in R&T, too.
I wanted to to know the company name. Hoping they are still around. I have been looking for one of these and thought "yeh. Someone in the club will know what I'm talking about!".
Road and Track. I also remember seeing it there also. I think they also had them for other car makes (BMW, Vettes, etc).
Thanks.

my brother used to get road N track in the 90s...i'll look though them tonight.
nothing that new...
i remember the ads, they were typically a page-height full column. they looked like a VDO Speedo or tach - strictly retro (digital watches were very new & pricey in the late '70s - i recall a red-LED Pulsar -- the kind of watch you'd find in Crackerjack now - minus the gold case, of course - being about $2000 which was a LOT of money for a watch in 1975...
i looked through a stack of R&T i happened to find from that era, and a handful of early 80's Pano's without finding it - no time for more research today...
