Life in the fast lane

MANILA, Philippines - Continuing its mission of reinvigorating offbeat living, Police, makers of modern and inventive watches, ventures into the daring realm of Formula 2 racing. This Italian trademark which has been storming the globe with premium chronographs — and now known as a lifestyle brand — take great pride in joining the F2 track.

Never blown away by the breathtaking turns of other racing titans, promising Italian racer Edoardo Piscopo has found his new pit stop in the Formula 2 Championship this coming November under the welcoming arms of Police. At a young age of 21, Edoardo undoubtedly possesses a unique gutsy personality and lives a fast-paced, exceptional life — on and off the track. Stressing Piscopo’s skill and determination — no less than Police’s own timepieces — racing enthusiasts can now witness the brand’s support of Edoardo’s team.

As audacious and uncompromising as any Formula 2 buff, Police is not slamming the brakes on some of their best timepieces, with collections that will surely bring a rush of pleasure once wrapped around your wrist. With each avant-garde image on display, this lineup of chronographs is fit for today’s mavericks.

Best for the man who prefers a no-nonsense look is the Police Arena. This stainless steel, black ion-plated piece with a black leather strap exudes simplicity without compromising style or performance. Water-resistant up to 100 meters with luminous hand and markers, this wrist item is for the man who never stops seeking extremes in his daily life.

For men of action, Police has their chronographic counterpart. This type of man needs a partner who appreciates what kind of energy makes them tick, and nothing fits them better than Police Fuel. With adjustable stainless steel bracelet, complementing the round case with gray lining, Fuel has a visible white marking contrasting the gray dial plus a date window that responds to a real gentleman’s need.

For non-conformists, daily routines can be an ordeal. To keep them from feeling anxious, we have timepieces to keep those endless cycles at bay. Police has something that speaks to the unique man: Police Patrol X. All stainless steel with black leather strap, this black ion-plated squared wristwatch is never dull looking, no matter what the day of the week. Water resistant at five ATM, the three-hand timepiece exhibits simplicity at its best for a relaxed day at work or recreation.

For fashion explorers, there’s a better way to set off your ultra-modern attitude with Police Pursuit. A stainless steel case wristwatch designed with thick white leather strap and modified with black stitching simply states that men can still have style. Not to mention the tasteful placement of date windows, this 30-meter water resistant chronometer with quartz movement offers freedom from dictates of what a man should be.

With Police watches, there’s no better way to complement the daring and intense life of today’s speed-driven men.
