A perfect match

TechnoMarine and boxing champion Manny Paquiao teamed up for a perfect match...or a perfect watch!

The Geneva-based company known for its bold yet distinctive timepieces teamed up with the world's pound-for-pound king and Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao to come up with the MP8 - presumably MP for his initials and "8" for his boxing titles in eight weight divisions.

Rex mendoza,irector of Techno Time Retailers Corp., the exclusive distributor of TechnoMarine Philippines, said, "We are extremely pleased to introduce the limited edition MP8 to the Philipines. This timepiece is very limited with only 1,000 pieces that will be produced worldwide."

The night saw the likes of 1969 Miss Universe Gloria Diaz and her equally beautiful daughter Isabelle Daza, Cesar Montano,locos Sur Gov. Chavit Singson,  Thelma San Juan, Anton San Diego, Pops Fernandez, Allure's Philip Cu-Unjieng and Rhian Ramos, who all gathered together at Fort Bonifacio's Skye Lounge. The event was hosted by Georgina Wilson and Borgy Manotoc. Guests were welcomed by TechnoMarine big boss Raffy Florencio and his wife Kat.

The event formally started when the multi-titled Pacman strolled in wearing his TechnoMarine MP8 soon after dinner was served. Guests were lucky enough to avail themselves of a big discount offered that night for those who wanted to buy the collector's watch...and a lot did not pass up on this opportunity.

Obviously, everyone wanted to have a photo taken with champ and he graciously allowed people to do so and accomodated as many aa he could. He signed a lot of autographs... Mia Borromeo even had her compact signed by the champ.

Takeing inspiration from Manny and his unprecented global achievements, the limited edition MP8 is a testament to TechnoMarine's continous innovation, dedication to style and fine craftsmanship.
