andcaneron Posted June 24, 2012 Report Posted June 24, 2012 Roy Hodgson with a beautiful Hublot. I want one too. Italy just won though......
Marky1012 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 During the 2010 World cup Hublot were giving watches to all commentators and pundits. Hublot sponsored the World Cup and Euro 2012 (the substitutions and added time board). Hodgson got his in 2012 and has been wearing it ever since. I have not seen him wear anything different since then.
khoma Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Not the most beautiful Hublot ...And the colour scheme is horrible imho. Wouldn't say no to it if I was given one though
DamonHorse Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Seriously anyone who has watched the England games and preparations at this Euros will know that this is the single best bit of product giveaway ever in the history of the world. Hodgson must be trained by Hublot to flash it whenever there is a camera within 20 miles! It's had more screen time that Rooney! Hublot must be laughing as I bet when they first found out someone had given one to Hodgson that the guy responsible got sacked!!!
andcaneron Posted June 25, 2012 Author Report Posted June 25, 2012 Yes, it was quite visible during the England matches. Does anyone know which model it is?
CPTony Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 I prefer Prandelli's IWC top gun rattrappante
cougar1 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 All I can say is thank god footballers aren't allowed wear watches during matches, it would be a freakshow of bling on display....it's already bad enough with the hair transplant on shrek, and loreal commercial gel attack on the donkey.
Smqsub Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 saw both of these. Deffo go with the Top Gun though. Anyone seen any others on managers? Sent from TK-421's comms using Tapatalk
DamonHorse Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 I know that Andrew Villas Boas had a lovely PVD coated special edition Franck Muller. Also Jose Mourinho has a Franck Muller deal too. Alex Ferguson also has a hublot so perhaps only managers over 65 choose them because the face is large enough to read with cataracts??
TheBattler Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Alex Ferguson also has a hublot so perhaps only managers over 65 choose them because the face is large enough to read with cataracts?? Panerais are even more legible, and sometimes even more ostentatiously gaudy through Richemont's overly advertised theme of "minimalism". Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
DamonHorse Posted June 25, 2012 Report Posted June 25, 2012 Battler I agree that Panerais can be more legible but not sure about them being more gaudy. Hublot make some shockers. Although I was only making a tongue in cheek remark to be honest. Nothing wrong with a nice black big bang though in my opinion. But I'd say that in my opinion despite their size the Panerai range is pretty reserved on the styling front. Each to their own though.
maulermacall@hotmail.com Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 It must be great for a football manager or tv personality to be given a free high value luxury watch. To me however it instantly puts me off a brand that dishes out freebies to those in the public eye and expects the public to cough up $$$$$'s. I used to like Bremont, however all the lavish corporate events they started to sponsor and the not that well known personalities sporting their latest free watches started to leave me cold.

Hublot sponsor Man Utd and there is a Red Devils version of the Big Bang. I reckon my team, Liverpool, could manage sponsorship from Casio!
DamonHorse Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 Hublot sponsor Man Utd and there is a Red Devils version of the Big Bang. I reckon my team, Liverpool, could manage sponsorship from Casio! You would have to be a nutter to buy a football branded £15k+ watch surely. I googled it and that is not a looker!! Utd usually start off trends though with sponsorship that my team - Chelsea - copy slavishly so we are bound to get a slightly worse deal sooner rather than later. Probably Graham!!!
andcaneron Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Posted June 27, 2012 Portugal plays Spain today. I will try to spot watches on Paulo Bento and Vicente del Bosque, Portugal and Spain coaches. I want Portugal to win but I know the spanish will be all over Cristiano Ronaldo.... Go Portugal
cougar1 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Portugal pretty unlucky, Spain were not that hot, was surprised Ronaldo didn't step up to take a pen, he was waiting for the glory of taking winning pen...which kinda backfired. Germany to win it all now, can't possibly lose from here!?
Fracture Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 Honestly, when I see a watch on anything soccer-related, it actually decreases in value and appreciation for me.
andcaneron Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Posted June 28, 2012 Viva Italia! They surprised everyone with their win over Germany. I still enjoy trying to guess what the coach´s watches are. I am hooked on the big Hublot. Not discreet, but I do not like discreet!!!
