Time is everything for these young icons

MANILA, Philippines - For this generation’s achievers, life is living in the fast lane — just ask the five young and socially active Urban Time icons.

“Our brand ambassadors embody the ideal youth of today,” says Linfred Yap, marketing manager for Urban Time. “Besides being beautiful and smart, these women possess a passion for life, a goal for excellence, and a desire to make a difference in everything they do.”

Urban Time’s newest Cherie Paris collection is the perfect accessory for these ambassadors who revel in the shining moments of their youth. Funky, edgy and sophisticated, Cherie Paris timepieces are designed to bring style in time. A perfect match to all the Urban Time icons’ personalities and lifestyles, it has different, stylish looks: avant-garde two-toned metal timepieces go with the persona of the performing artist; leather-strapped facet-lens for the president of the student body; and leather-strapped, gem-encrusted timepieces in black or white for the academic and civic achiever.

These watches strap glamour and purpose to these multi-tasking youth ambassadors:

Portia Silva of Ateneo de Manila University is a consistent dean’s lister, writer, host, UAAP courtside reporter, and “Model Atenean” awardee in 2008.

Rachel Rustia of UA&P works with civic groups that help the children of Payatas, Tulong sa Kapwa Kapatid and beneficiaries of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She is also president of the Student Executive Board and member of the UA&P theater.
