Over the years, watches and Racing have gone hand in hand, creating some iconic collaborations. REC (Recovery Recycle Reclaim) has launched their newest collaboration with Porsche tuning company RAUH-Welt BEGRIFF (RWB), capturing some of the essence of the iconic brand.

Every single REC timepiece incorporates salvaged, recycled parts from iconic vehicles that are beyond repair and both pieces incorporate parts from cars they are named after. REC’s idea of taking the soul of a car, and embodying it into their watches. Each 901 RWB STELLA and ROTANA timepieces contain a piece of metal from both cars.

Nakai-san is considered an artist and underground phenomenon in the car and drifting community, having specialized in the installation of custom wide-body kits and extreme fenders on classic Porsche 911’s. Doing most of his work by hand, Nakai-san’s RWB conversions are unmistakable and controversial.

THE CAR THAT MARKED THE BIRTH OF RWB
The 901 RWB Stella contains a piece of metal from Akira Nakai-San’s personal RWB Porsche 911: Stella Artois – a car 12 years in the making and the genesis of all RWB projects. Stella Artois was Nakai-san’s first full conversion: A classic black 1985 Porsche 930 turned into a roaring monster. The giant rear wing and the weight-reducing carbon fiber custom wide bodywork are offset by its name written in loud golden letters on the side – a homage to the Belgian beer and Nakai-san’s brew of choice.

THE RWB VISION TAKEN TO THE EXTREME

The 901 RWB ROTANA contains a piece of metal from Akira Nakai’s personal RWB Porsche 911: Rotana – an absolutely outrageous, almost blasphemous, purple turbo car. The purple Rotana is Nakai-san’s vision taken to the extreme. The idea for this evolutionary refinement on his first project suddenly materialized in his mind during a visit to the United Arab Emiretes; when a purple Lamborghini blasted past him as he was walking next to buildings owned by the Rotana group.
