GIVING IS COOL
GIVING IS AT THE CORE
OF WHAT WE DO
At FAST Cooling, our business may be cool, but our giving is warming up.
For the past 9 years, FAST Cooling has supported cancer nonprofit, Lemons of Love through monetary and product donations. This long-standing partnership has blended our racing relationships with anyone impacted by cancer and their loved ones.
WHY LEMONS OF LOVE?
Without the connections in the racing community, Lemons of Love would not exist. In fact, much of Lemons of Love’s fundraising efforts and sharing of cancer care packages all over the world has occurred from these relationships.
FAST Cooling being a racing brand, with a CEO that is a cancer survivor, and the love for timing, what could FAST do to level up their give back to Lemons of Love?
LOVE, IN REAL TIME
Motorsport and timepieces – they go together like horsepower and a well-tuned chassis.
The limited edition Lemons of Love, Oak & Oscar watch is a result of FAST Cooling’s CEO, Jill Swanson’s, life in the motorsport world, and true love for accuracy and timing.
Her life at the race track and fascination with precise timekeeping led her to Chase, owner of Oak & Oscar.
Building a Lemons of Love, Oak & Oscar branded watch was a no-brainer. It had to be done, as Jill knew that the motorsport community would love to add one of these beautiful timepieces to their collection.
ABOUT THE WATCH
Presenting the limited edition Lemons of Love, Oak & Oscar Olmsted 38. There will be only 50 timepieces available. This is a fresh new look for Oak & Oscar, as the featured black, yellow and white colors offer a bold, yet traditional style.

DETAILS
The Olmsted 38 takes its namesake from conservationist and founder of landscape architecture, Frederick Law Olmsted – an avid believer in the need of natural public space in society.
The engine powering The Olmsted 38 is a Sellita SW300, a legendary, Swiss-made, solid workhorse movement customized with our iconic 4-star rotor design – a subtle nod to our hometown of Chicago.
The gorgeous Horween leather strap is the craftsmanship that won’t disappoint. From the hand-beveled edges with applied water-based dye to the hidden yellow stitching on the floating keeper, the leather strap tapers from 20mm to 18mm at the buckle for a comfortable fit. You also receive a custom black 20mm nylon strap that converts this watch to your best adventure accessory.
Inside the wallet, you’ll find an interior pocket perfect for extra straps, the slim tool to switch straps, and so much more. The super soft grey suede used for the detachable pouches comes from Tasman Leather and are also branded Lemons of Love.
Completing the watch suite, we are including a custom Lemons of Love branded black leather watch wallet. This strong, thick black Horween leather strap was handcrafted in Indiana and is super protective and will never go out of style!
Inside the wallet, you’ll find an interior pocket perfect for extra straps, the slim tool to switch straps, and so much more.
