New Watches- Porsche Design Flat Six P'6340 and Sinn 917 GR
Porsche Design Flat Six P'6340 Automatic Chronograph
At Baselworld 2009, Porsche Design introduced some new versions of their popular Flat Six P'6340 Automatic Chronograph. For the most part, the watches are the same as when they were originally introduced in 2007. They still feature a 44.5 mm x 15 mm stainless steel case that is water-resistant to 120 meters. Inside is the same modified 7750 movement, with a signature Porsche alloy wheel shaped rotor and visibility through the sapphire caseback. The chronograph pushers are flush mounted with the case at 2 and 4 o'clock, like on the original. And the sporty dial layout that you expect from a watch that pays homage to the venerable Porsche 911, is unchanged.
What is new for 2009 though, are three new color schemes, including one with a red dial and black accents, one with a black dial and red accents and one with a mixture of black and gold. All feature PVD treated stainless steel, for a sporty appearance and optimal scratch resistance. see replica porsche design watches here
Sinn 917 GR Rally Chronograph
Last month, German watchmaker, Sinn, introduced a new model, the 917 GR Rally Chronograph. The new Rally Chronograph features a countdown bezel that is controlled by the crown at 4 o'clock. This makes it possible to read off finish times with to-the second accuracy, with red numerals to call attention to the all-important, final 15-seconds.
The case is 44 mm and comes in fully polished stainless steel. The dial and caseback are both protected by anti-reflective sapphire crystals. The caseback crystal has an interior anti-reflective treatment. The crystal protecting the dial has an anti-reflective treatment inside and outside the case. The case features Sinn's Ar ? dehumidifying technology for enhanced freedom from fogging.
The upper subdial displays chronograph hours, the lower subdial at 6 o'clock displays chronograph minutes and the central seconds hand displays chronograph seconds. The subdial at 3 o'clock displays small seconds. The indicator at 9 o'clock shows the level of power reserve. The date is displayed 4 o'clock, and is controlled by the crown at 9 o'clock.
Inside, is a slightly modified Valjoux 7750 mechanical movement. Water-resistance is 100 meters. The watch is both shock and anti-magnetic.

the design of the Porsche 911?
I remember reading an artical about the controversy over the rear engine design in the 911. being a sports car it just seems like having so much weight over the rear wheels would through the car off balance. That isnt the case what so ever. I am doing a paper on the unique design of the Porsche and why it turned out to be so good. If anyone knows any websites or any online jornals I would be greatful. this is a college paper so forums and blogs dont cut it by the profesors standards. once again thank you for your help
There are many sources out there, online and in books, that talk about the 911 design... but in short, it IS an unbalanced design. And most of Porsche's engineering into the car since it's mid 60s introduction have been aimed at trying to overcome this imbalance.
To understand the design, you must understand that the car was designed in an era when even the top levels of motorsport hadn't come to understand the use of aero devices. While mid-engined designs were appearing, the desire for more rear grip meant more rear weight, thus, the engine was put in the back (as it had with the 356 before).
The plusses of the design are that it does offer more rear traction. Under braking it allows for more work at the rear while still effectively transferring the load to the front brakes (and in competition, requires less negative camber in the front, allowing for more cornering grip without compromising braking as much). For a street car in the days before power steering was usable in a sports car, it also meant a car that was easy to steer (with so little weight over the front wheels). The weight distribution also meant the center of rotation was nearly aligned with the front axle, making turn in seem especially crisp compared to other cars.
But it was a mixed blessing... the weight distribution meant that the front end behaved like a car with low polar momentum, while the back behaved like a high polar momentum car. For a very skilled driver, this could be made to work very well... for anyone else, it would be a very dangerous car to drive at or near the limit. Though in many ways, this only added to the mystique.
