DJ Nina Saputil and DJ Lunatics were on deck to provide fresh beats and the event was hosted by Nicole Andersson.

“Veloci aims to be known as a brand that is always evolving—one that keeps up with the fashion trends and offers high quality watches at reasonable prices,” says Managing Director Marnie Chua.
Introducing integrated silicone straps, exciting new dial colors, stainless steel and gold cases, elegance and convenience go hand in hand. Combining 100-meter water resistance with the choice to pick colors suitable for any occasion, all Veloci timepieces remain looking current and fresh, adventure after adventure.
It’s no surprise, then, that Hideo and Catriona were chosen as endorsers. Aside from being fans of Veloci ever since, both are more than their looks and attractive bodies, just like the brand. Hideo is an avid sportsman who’s into soccer, Crossfit, and Muay Thai. He cites his Voyager and Pulse pieces as go-to watches. “I like the changeable stripes. You can be very creative and make your own unique style,” Hideo shares. “The value you get for the price is definitely a big plus. I keep many Veloci watches because they have a large variety that can match any outfit, from the gym to casual days to parties like this.”
On the other hand, Catriona is a formally trained singer whose voice has a lovely jazz texture.The Filipina-Scottish stunner also
likes to write about her travel adventures on her blog. For Catriona, wearing a watch instantly makes one feel like a go-getter, and shows that one has functionality and style. “I love classic and feminine watches in gold, especially rose gold. But on days when I play up my style, I’ll reach for a bold color,” she says. “I’ve hauled my Veloci watches all over Asia and they’ve never let me down, from a watch I can wear at the gym to sophisticated evenings out. Most watches in the collection also come with customizable straps, so there’s really no limit of possibilities.”
The All-White Pool Party served as the perfect canvass for showcasing Veloci’s fresh new collection, from exquisite bright colors that are perfect for tropical sunshiny days, to time-tested classics that tastefully accessories an outfit. Proof that Veloci is a watch that can take you anywhere you want to go. (Photo credits: Ramon Tan Mangila www.pixrepublik.com.ph)
