Porsche Design - P’6930 Chronograph - timing test

As the guy who used to write the texts for the catalogs and magazine ads, I was always racking my brain to come up the most important real world timing tests for a chronograph.  Of course, my mind ran wild!  Race car drivers, secret agents racing against the clock,  (insert your favorite fantastic heroic adventure image here), and then I thought about my buddy Mike.  I have two friends that I consider irreplaceable - Mike and Dave, both great friends from even before high school.  Both wildly successful in different ways.  In Mike's case he owns and operates a company that produces cookies quite literally on-demand at various Scottish/highland games around the country.  And timing for a guy like Mike is crucial as one false step can gum up the whole day's work.  Just to give you a sense of this - he sells hundreds, sometimes THOUSANDS of cookies a day - that's right, to a guy like Mike, the Keebler elves are a bunch of want to bes.  Oh, by the way - he does this all himself.

So, in the interest of realistic testing - I present you with, the cookie test.

Now, for you to really appreciate this, you need some background.  This is a sesame seed cookie recipe - it is actually both the easiest to bake - and at the same time also one of the easiest to make mistakes on.  Essentially 10 minutes - no more, no less.  So, electronic timers off, and to really test the Porsche, I made a double batch - this meant 3 PLUS hours of baking.  

The results - in so far as the cookies go - were first rate!  Anyone interested in the recipe, email me.  

It's not a cookie...

But I realize that not everyone is  a cook or baker out there.  So here are some other tests that I ran.  During the University of Oregon football game I ran the chronograph against the game clock during the course of the entire game.  Prior to the game I made sure that the watch was set to the official government time clock, and at the conclusion of the game - and well over two hours of starts and stops of the chronograph function - still perfect time - i.e no deviations, not even per second.  Oh, and the University of Oregon won!  

And just to be sure, I ran the chronograph function overnight until 10:19 the next morning (Sunday) - again, perfect time.  

So whether you are timing a world record, or your hard boiled egg,  the Porsche Design P'6930 Chronograph will record the time accurately.
