Watch Your Car Files: David Coulthard to visit Philippines; TW Steel to give away Singapore GP package

August 30,2011

A little Formula One glamour is set to rub off on Manila as David Coulthard will visit the city on September 26, after the Singapore Grand Prix. The Other Chinned One will be promoting TW Steel, a wristwatch brand specializing in oversized watches.

Meanwhile, TW Steel is also raffling off a trip to the Singapore Grand Prix. To qualify, you must purchase a TW Steel watch in a single receipt charged to your Philippine MasterCard. (Complete promo details after the break.) Consolation prizes include Lotus-Renault Grand Prix-branded TW Steels. The watch brand also counts Emerson Fittipaldi and even Eddie Jordan as its endorsers.

Here’s more from TW Steel:

David Coulthard’s F1 career
In 1994 David was working for the Williams team as a tester when the untimely death of Ayrton Senna at Imola meant he was promoted to the race team alongside Damon Hill for the Spanish Grand Prix. He spent most of the season driving the 2nd car for the team only stepping aside for ex-champion Nigel Mansell 4 times through the remainder of the season.

He drove for Williams for one more season which saw him win his first race in Portugal and won 5 pole positions throughout the season.

After two years with Williams he moved onto race for McLaren where he spent 8 years of his career culminating in him managing his best world championship title finish of 2nd overall in 2001.

He eventually saw out his career with the Red Bull team now the home of the current World Champion SebastienVettel. He eventually retired from Formula One racing in 2008 although he continued to test drive for Red Bull for a further 2 years after that.

David Coulthard and TW Steel
TW Steel, the Dutch brand specializing in oversized timepieces, used the magnificent setting of Monte Carlo to launch the all new TW Steel David Coulthard Special Edition watch on Friday. Coulthard, a two-time winner of the Monaco Grand Prix and a resident of the Principality, joined TW Steel onboard their yacht to showcase their latest offering and the first models to make up the new CEO Tech Collection.

Available in 44mm (CE4001) and 48mm (CE4002) executions, the TW Steel David Coulthard Special Edition reflects the Scot’s passion for detail, while offering a bold, sophisticated look which perfectly captures the luxurious associations that come from his involvement in one of the world’s most glamorous and appealing sports – motor racing.

The 40-year-old, a TW Steel ambassador since last May, will again compete in the German-based DTM Series in 2011, racing for Team Mücke Motorsport, while he also serves as a Formula One commentator for BBC Television – using his unique insight as a 13-time Grand Prix winner having raced for Williams F1, McLaren-Mercedes and Red Bull Racing in 15 seasons in the sport.

“I’m thoroughly enjoying working with TW Steel as an ambassador so I guess it was only natural that the next step was to produce a watch together,” stated Coulthard. “I think the end result is certainly one that maintains TW Steel’s bold appeal while it perfectly reflects my own appreciation for subtle yet distinctive styling. To be launching it in Monaco is extra special given my successes here but it is also fitting considering this is an appealing, high-end watch!”
