In the world of horology, where innovation meets tradition, a truly remarkable watch transcends the mere function of timekeeping. It becomes a statement of integrity, authenticity, and enduring design. These principles are the bedrock of Aera, a Swiss-made mechanical watch brand launched in 2022 by industry veterans Jas Minhas and Olof Larsson. Aera’s ethos focuses on timeless craftsmanship, contemporary aesthetics, and uncompromising functionality. Their latest release, the C-1 Rennsport Chronograph, epitomizes this philosophy, blending the precision of Swiss watchmaking with the iconic design of Porsche restomods from Rennsport UK.

The Collaboration: Aera Meets Rennsport

Rennsport UK, founded by Paul Cockell in 2010, has earned its reputation as the go-to specialist for bespoke Porsche 911 restomods. Based in the picturesque Cotswolds, Rennsport reimagines automotive icons with elevated engineering and meticulous craftsmanship—values that resonate perfectly with Aera’s watchmaking philosophy.

The collaboration between these two innovators has resulted in a 25-piece limited edition C-1 Rennsport Chronograph, a watch that harmonizes British engineering, German automotive heritage, and Swiss horological precision.

C-1 Rennsport Chronograph: Design & Features

Aera’s C-1 Chronograph is already celebrated for its minimalist yet functional aesthetic. For the Rennsport edition, the design takes on an automotive flair, paying homage to the Porsche 911:

  • Sub-Dials with Fuchs Wheel Design: Inspired by the iconic Fuchsfelge wheels first seen on Porsche in 1965, the sub-dials feature a striking 3D-printed interpretation of this classic design.
  • Premium Materials: Crafted from 904L stainless steel, this watch is superior to standard 316L steel. Known for its corrosion resistance, hypoallergenic properties, and lustrous finish, it is as durable as it is luxurious.
  • Swiss Super-LumiNova® Grade X1: The hands and sub-dial tips glow green in low light, ensuring perfect legibility and adding a touch of drama.
  • Sellita SW510 Bi-compax Movement: A Swiss-made automatic movement with a 56-hour power reserve, ensuring precision and longevity.

Each watch is engraved with a unique serial number, and Rennsport car owners can opt to add their car’s three-digit serial number for an extra bespoke touch.

Luxury Meets Sustainability

Aera is as committed to sustainability as it is to design excellence. The brand uses 100% recyclable and biodegradable packaging, while instruction manuals and warranties are available exclusively online to reduce paper waste. Additionally, the watch straps are interchangeable across the Aera collection, ensuring lasting versatility.

A Watch for Discerning Collectors

Priced at £2,350, the C-1 Rennsport Chronograph is a collector’s dream. This limited-edition timepiece is delivered with a pebble-grain Italian calf leather strap, a 904L steel buckle, and a handmade red leather watch pouch. For Rennsport car owners, an exclusive option includes a bespoke strap crafted from their car’s interior materials.

A Timeless Statement

The Aera x Rennsport C-1 Chronograph is more than a watch—it’s a celebration of craftsmanship, innovation, and heritage. It embodies the spirit of two icons: the enduring allure of the Porsche 911 and the contemporary sophistication of Aera’s timepieces.

For those who appreciate the finer details, this partnership sets a new benchmark in luxury, proving that great design truly transcends time.
