Police watch: The Chief’s timepiece


Several Unspun readers wrote in to express curiosity and admiration of the timepiece worn by Police Chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri, as seen on his left hand in yesterday’s front page of Koran Tempo.

Unspun thought it was an Officine Panerai. One reader said it was a Richard Mille but another reader checked the watchmaker’s catalogue and found no such watches.

Whatever it is, the watch, which appears a bit out of focus in the photograph, is a handsome piece of horology and no doubt reflect the owner’s exquisite sense of taste.

Unspun wonders if any reader might be able to identify it correctly.

    it was a topic of discussion over at our mailist as well, and we thought it’d be something from Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak / Royal Oak Offshore line.
    the octagonal frame was rather an AP’s signature style for that particular line.

    It’s an exquisite piece, Unspun.

    I don’t profess to know a lot about watches. All I know is that many civil servants wouldn’t be caught dead wearing such a piece that is perceived to be beyond the means afforded by their salary! LOL!
