“Golden Ball”. Why is Robert Lewandowski’s watch making noise?

Finally, more than a quarter of a century after Zinedine Zidane, Karim Benzema leaves the Théâtre du Châtelet with the Ballon d’Or. A reward the Real Madrid forward will come to collect with one of the many watches in his collection on his wrist, the Richard Mille RM 65-01 split-seconds chronograph, which carries the house’s most complicated caliber. A piece exhibited in 2020 that was originally offered for around €250,000 but was found on specialist websites for double its original price. Meanwhile, Alexia Poutelas wore her Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold Diamonds 38mm to claim her second consecutive Ballon d’Or. A watch worth around €22,000.

They both did not leave Paris empty-handed, as event partner Swiss watchmaker Purnell offered each of them a one-of-a-kind piece engraved with their name worth one million euros. It was its founder (and ex-footballer) Maurizio Mazzocchi who gave them these house creations, on which the Ballon d’Or replaces the usual tourbillon at 6 o’clock on this watch’s dial. Haute horlogerie with a 48 mm diameter rose gold case.

But this year, watches that aren’t so much expensive as they are rare can make a big splash online. Of course, fashionistas noticed Karim Benzema’s Fendi tuxedo and his Tupac-style collar. But the crowd on the night particularly noticed the watch worn by the ever-humble and elegant Robert Lewandowski, who this year picked up the goalscorer of the year award, the first Gerd Muller trophy, for 57 goals in 56 games in all competitions. confused with Poland. and Bayern Munich last season. He, who nevertheless earns €23 million a year at his club, wore a gold vintage Casio reference A158WETG-9A, which costs €59.90, on his wrist.

If some do not understand how such a rich and famous football player can wear such a cheap watch, others, on the contrary, congratulate him for choosing this amazing watch: the watch is not for its price, but for its style, because we appreciate it as a direct complement to the look. However, this 1980s-style digital watch has also long been a timeless classic in the eyes of fashionistas. This very reasonably priced vintage Casio on display at the gala doesn’t stop the Bayern player from also owning some very nice pieces of fine watchmaking… But money isn’t always what matters; style too.
