Round-UpFull Time : Watches of Footballers

As another season begins, we look at the top players and their prized timepieces

May We Recommend

Football has always been highly dependent on the wristwatch: Referees need it to keep a tab on the time, managers need it to demand those extra minutes of stoppages (read: Fergie Time), and perhaps most importantly of all, players wear high-end watches to display their already lavish lifestyles.

There’s a complex relationship between the beautiful game and beautiful timepieces. Only with regards to a watch do players believe they’re not bound by sponsorship agreements. They could be brand ambassadors for X but can be seen wearing anything they want. Footballers usually have a much freer reign over their individual choice of wrist wear. As another thrilling season of football begins, we go up close to discover watches of footballers and the complex relation between the relationship between the finest luxury watch brands and world-class players:

David Beckham

Surely the first man to come to your mind would have been David Beckham. Charismatic and stylish on and off the field, you couldn’t have missed Beckham’s Breitling advertisements. He says he’s loyal to Breitling’s Instrument for Professionals.

Cristiano Ronaldo

There’s no hiding that the ‘Perfectionist’ Cristiano is a big admirer of timepieces. Committed to TAG Heuer, Ronaldo has a set of inspired watches of the brand which you can read about here.

Apart from his glorious trophy cabinet, Ronaldo boasts of having a collection of over 50+ watches! Never mind Ronnie, you deserve them all!

Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane

You might wonder why we put these two greats together. They’ve been long term loyalists and ambassadors to the brand from Schaffhausen: IWC. Both adorned the Madrid jersey together and both are long term partners of the brand. And by choice, they have always chosen the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar over any other timepiece.
