POC Paris 2024 Olympics timepiece
​​​
Introducing the Paris 2024 Olympics Timepiece commissioned by The Philippine Olympics Committee (POC) for Makina to design and produce. Marking The Philippine's 100 year anniversary of its participation in the Olympics, this is a limited edition of 100 pieces
All pieces are exclusive to The POC who will be gifting it to said athletes, major sponsors, members of foreign National Olympic Committee members, as well as the Philippine President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr who will be receiving his numbered edition, "001 / 100".​​
Housed in one of MAKINA's most popular case, MAKINA Uriel, this timepiece features a clean, sandwich-style dial designed to highlight its most meaningful elements. The grain-textured top layer is precisely laser-cut to reveal the circular form of the Philippine flag, perfectly balanced with the Paris 2024 logo on the recessed bottom layer.
​
Just above the Olympics logo at 6 o’clock, the inscription "1924 - 2024" marks the centennial anniversary of the Philippines' first Olympic appearance, a historic event that took place in Paris in 1924.
​
The watch hands reflect the colors of the Philippine flag, adding even more vibrance to the dial and capturing the spirit and energy of the Games. This design pays tribute to the dedication of athletes, the passion of fans, and the enduring nature of competition.
The glass is made of a highly scratch resistant domed sapphire crystal with 3x AR coating
