Vladimir Putin's Aqualung magically returns...

 

Dear all:


Former President of the Russian Federation and current Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin, is known for his affection for Blancpain watches. His love, so it seems, is centered around the Léman collection of Blancpain.

Here he is with a Flyback Chronograph:



Another frequently spotted watch is a 2005 Aqualung Grande Date:



This very watch gained international fame when Putin, in Autumn 2009, gave this very watch to a metalworker at the arms factory of Tula:



The following pictures show Putin on 24 January 2012 instructing a trainee during a judo demonstration at a regional judo centre in the city of Kemerovo:



And what is on his wrist? Correct, again a 2005 Aqualung Grande Date:



Maybe he had second thoughts after he learned than Blancpain is going to axe the Léman collection? He would not be the only one!

Cheers,
Magnus
