I agree with you completely....

but when a collaboration yields something truly hyper-specific, at the highest-end of horology (like the Nadal-RM watches), I feel that there is plenty enough substance (both technical and design) to make the effort worthwhile without any cynicism! I had no idea about the O. Beckham collab and story! Cheers, Filip

Which watch worn by sports greats made you feel so impressed?
By: emily12341949 : November 28th, 2022-03:49
Many sports greats like to collect different watches, even worn watches during competition. Which watch worn by sports greats made you impressed? For me, Richard Mille worn by Rafael Nadal definitely, as this is one of the world’s lightest tourbillon. So ...
I agree with you completely.

The Nadal-RM collaborations are to me the most impressive, and the one you chose to post a picture of specifically happens to be my most favorite . Thanks, Filip

One of the most obnoxious ones is indisputably Clooney and Omega which has been going on 'forever', and similar ones like Kate Winslet for Longines, Theron/Pitt/Travolta and others for Breitling etc........
PPs none-ambassador strategy
By: penfriend : November 28th, 2022-08:30
is somehow interfered with Tiffany's "Patek ambassadors" Beyonce and Jay-Z. Wonder whether PP had to agree to this
Agreed. That was really poorly executed.
By: patrick_y : December 2nd, 2022-01:44
It actually makes me see Patek Philippe as a watch for a crowd I don’t want to identify with. I hope Jay Z is a lovely individual with a pleasant disposition in real life, but in the latest Tiffany advertisements he looks like a battle hardened gangster i...
Indeed.
By: patrick_y : December 3rd, 2022-03:36
I was really surprised Vacheron Constantin (my favorite brand to compare to Patek Philippe) had Ora Ito as a brand ambassador. While I like most of Ora Ito’s work, I was surprised of the move by VC. Why do they need it? They know they’re amongst the best ...

None, such an ABUSED term nowadays imho.
By: enjoythemusic : November 28th, 2022-17:20
The word 'heros' is such an abused term nowadays. So tell me, how is someone playing sports for millions in currency a hero??? Seriously, i'm curious what they have done to honestly deserve being called a hero.
So true.

Sports have been elevated to an art form. And the athletes are the artists. As have chefs. Clothes designers. Watchmakers. Even car designers. People need to market themselves. PR and media is all the rage. What do you think about musicians who collect hu...
Sorry, none.
By: MTR : November 29th, 2022-02:04
I love and admire a watch for its own sake. Or not. Having a celebrity and/or ambassador wear a watch doesn't affect me at all. I often even notice the opposite instead of the desired effect on me: an ambassador connection with a watch brand might turn me...
it depends on the cooperation format
By: Jakobbb22 : November 29th, 2022-03:40
I think some watches’ cooperation is meaningful. Yes, some athletes will be the official endorsement only, but some of the cooperation also record the remarkable moments or memories for the athletes, like the spirit of never giving up. One of the examples...
Agree! some international collaboration also exist
By: Cocott : November 30th, 2022-04:06
Agree. LaMelo Ball RARE Tourbillon Watch also is designed by LaMelo Ball. He launched an international collaboration with a Hong Kong Brand Memorigin with the creation of a new high-end watch brand Melofaith. ...
so impressive!
By: Jakobbb22 : November 30th, 2022-11:11
Woww, a few sports athletes will launch a watch brand with other watch brands.
Yes I know Melofaith too
By: Louise919 : December 1st, 2022-05:21
I knew Melofaith has launched a new watch, Rare Ones Mechanical Watch. It looks fantastic too. It allows customers to freely build their watches with their favourite case colours by their preferences ...
More than only PR
By: IndriChong : November 29th, 2022-04:56
Some cooperation is more than only PR. Like Carrera Chronograph 01 co-designed by American football legend Tom Brady and TAG Heuer to celebrate his fifth Super Bowl victory. It is not only commercial cooperation, but in honour of Brady’s total passing yar...
Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light worn by Rory McIlroy

Seamaster Aqua Terra Ultra Light worn by Rory McIlroy is special too, developed in Gamma Titanium, which is often used in the aeronautical industry, to make the watch become light. ...
The RM Nadal series is impressive for sure
By: jmpTT : December 1st, 2022-06:12
The marketing of the RM Nadal series is mighty clever, as it plays on my expectation that Rafael Nadal would not wear a watch for any amount of money during a match, if it affected his game negatively. Whether that's true or not is another story. I think ...
Never impressed with celebrities.
By: patrick_y : December 2nd, 2022-01:36
Perhaps the only celebrity who really knows about watches might be Pierce Brosnan. He’s actually assembled some watches and gone through the motions. Other than that…. These celebrities know shockingly very little about the subject and would not be seen i...

With Tudor watches. Excellent footballer with good taste of watches.
