Club Coupe

dear Sir,

I wanted to give you a heads up that as part of our ownership of one of the 12 Club Coupes in the world (plus the one in the Museum) Porsche has organised for us to meet in Stuttgart in June as part of the 70-year Anniversary event. There will be at least six of the Club Coupes there, and if the owner from Hong Kong flies his in we could have seven.

In 2017 my son and I met with representatives of Porsche Design Beverly Hills to explore the concept of commissioning a Club Coupe limited-edition watch. The project was taken over by Porsche Design Timepieces in Germany, and as part of our meeting in Germany we will be travelling to Porsche Design Timepieces in Solothurn. We will be the first group of sports car owners to be granted access to the Manufaktur, and as part of our time there we will be presented with our watches!

Our Club Coupe has a tremendous place in the history of Porsche as its build commemorates the 60th anniversary of the original 13 founding members of the two Porsche clubs in Germany in 1952. And now, with the special consideration that Gerhard Novak from Porsche Design is giving to our limited timepiece, I thought you might have interest at some point in doing a story on the Club Coupe and the watches.

It’s great to see porsche design forging evercloser links with the porsche 911, both of which were created by the one-and-only Butzi porsche. the club coupe is a very special 911 indeed – particularly due to its immense rarity – and you can look forward to further coverage of the car in an upcoming issue of total 911.
