EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage Metropolitan Police stopwatch showcases an intriguing piece of road safety history. The stopwatch, issued by the Met Police in the 1900s, was used to catch speeding motorists. The method involved timing motorists as they traveled over specific distances to estimate their speed. The outer casing of the stopwatch is adorned with a crown and the initials "MP," symbolizing its official origin. The watch's historical significance lies in its contribution to road safety and the evolution of speed enforcement. The stopwatch's design reflects the importance placed on safety during this era, with its sturdy construction and precise mechanics. The engraving on the outer casing adds an elegant touch, making it a valuable historical artifact. The stopwatch's role in measuring speed and enforcing traffic laws is a testament to the Met Police's commitment to ensuring public safety on the roads. The stopwatch's design is reminiscent of the early days of automobiles, a time when the thrill of speeding was a popular pastime, and the need for effective speed enforcement was paramount. Today, the same principle of timing motorists over specific distances is still used with modern speed enforcement equipment. This vintage stopwatch is a fascinating reminder of the past and the ongoing efforts to keep our roads safe.
