Our story.

Arid Innovation was born in 2020, following a pivotal moment when designer George Hutchinson acquired his first sports car, a Porsche 987 Cayman. Upon receiving the car, George was struck by the key’s lackluster design and quality, he knew he could create something truly special to replace it.

Driven by a passion for craftsmanship and innovation, George embarked on a two-year journey to reimagine the key housing. Using advanced design techniques, premium materials, and pioneering manufacturing processes, he developed the first prototype of the 997 Arid key.

When the 997 Arid key was introduced to the Porsche community, the response was overwhelming. Enthusiasts expressed a strong interest in bespoke collaborations, with hundreds eager to own a truly unique and personalized key.
