Matt Tsin of 1iCT supports Queensland Police Legacy and gains a classic timepiece with a history

Posted on September 13, 2017 by QPLS

Matt Tsin of 1iCT is a long term supporter of Queensland Police Legacy and has participated in the Wall 2 Wall Ride for quite a few years. Not only is he an avid motorcyclist, he also appreciates a nice watch when he sees one.  To raise money for Queensland Police Legacy families, Andrew Frick, the Wall 2 Wall Queensland Co-Ordinator, arranged the online auction of a number of items.  Queensland Police Legacy offered as part of that auction a 2000 Longines wristwatch in pristine condition.  That watch had been donated to Queensland Police Legacy back in 2001, the watch having been a gift from the Prince of Qatar during his 2001 visit to Queensland.

Matt was the highest bidder on the watch and is now the owner of a nice timepiece that comes with a great background story.  The significant sum that Matt provided for the watch will also be of great assistance to Queensland Police Legacy in providing programs and support to our Police Legacy families and children.  A big thank you Matt and 1iCT!
