Porsche and Harrods open advent calendar

The $1m (618,000) calendar has been created by Porsche Design and is one of only five produced – one for each continent.

One is on display in Harrods' flagship Knightsbridge store where illuminated plates also show off details from the design.

These highlights include a watch in rose gold, a designer kitchen, an 8.5 metre speedboat, gold sunglasses, cufflinks and running shoes.

Porsche Design Group chief executive Juergen Gessler said they were enthralled that the showpiece was on display there.

Harrods managing director Michael Ward said the company was delighted to be welcoming the unique calendar.
