Never mind what's under the tree, your countdown to Christmas will be much more exciting than any present if you're one of the five Porsche lovers who purchases the limited advent calendar offered by the company this year. Wilton 2010 Porsche buyers may want to check their account balances first, though, as this is not your typical $4 chocolate-filled advent calendar. It retails for $1 million.
With surprises concealed in an aluminum tower rather than a cardboard calendar, recipients will be delighted with gifts from Porsche Design for days 1-24 of December. These aren't just things like key chains and steering wheel covers either. Weston used Porsche customers would be thrilled to get these trinkets.
Only one "calendar" will be sold per continent, but the aluminum tower could probably replace your Christmas tree. Some of the highlighted gifts tucked inside include a P'6910 Indicator in rose gold, a customizable Porsche Design kitchen P'7320, and a nearly 24-foot yacht designed by the Porsche Design Studio in Zell am See, Austria.
The P'6910 Indicator is the first chronograph to have a mechanical-digital stopwatch display and has one of the most complex movements in the world. The Swiss watchmaker, Eterna, a licensee of Porsche Design, built the movement. It has 800 individual components. Truly impressive and like no watch we've every owned, to be sure.
The Porsche Design Kitchen uses wood, glass and aluminum for functional sophistication. It can be customized for the buyer and features cupboards with no handles which open with a light touch as well as multi-functional lights and a high-tech audio/video system.
Wilton 2010 Porsche customers may not find this collection in their price range, but will certainly be impressed with the Motor Yacht RFF28. Combining stability, maneuverability and horsepower, it features a 525 HP Mercury engine and can reach speeds of about 70 mph. Its cockpit is of custom-made teak sole and ergonomically correct, adjustable upholstered bucket seats.
Other windows on the aluminum tower calendar will reveal less impressive gifts like writing tools, cufflinks, Bounce:S2 running shoes, 18-carat gold sunglasses, a leather blouson made of hand-woven lambskin nappa ,and pieces from the French Classic luggage series. Since all the gifts won't easily fit into the tower, some are depicted on aluminum plates.
Weston used Porsche customers who think they might want to purchase this shiny package should visit the worldwide Porsche Design Store. No word on whether it's first come, first served or if Porsche has a lottery or auction system in mind for those who want to duke it out for rights to buy this $1 million unique holiday collection.
Maybe next year Porsche will offer 10 calendars and some Swiss chocolate for those of us who do our shopping last-minute.
