 Happy
people do not care for time. And it seems that celebrities do not fall to the
category of these lucky and happy people since they cannot do without watches,
and they prefer luxury and exclusive watches to others.
Silvio
Berluskoni did better than the others purchasing the most expensive watches. He
is told to collect the entire collection of watches though his favorite is the
model Vacheron Constantin with the price of $540 thousand USD.
Vladimir
Putin is the next person in the line after Berluskoni though the watches
purchased by Putin Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar made from the white gold
cost only around $60 thousand USD.
During the
visit to the Ukraine
the patriarch Kirill was observed wearing watches by Breguet of approximately $30
thousand Euros that actually shocked the wide population. The fact that His
Holiness wears such expensive watches was the topic to discuss in the society and
many newspapers published articles on this topic as a result the colossal efforts
made by politicians and the church for approximation of Russia and the Ukraine
failed completely (mainly the announcements of the patriarch about the contemporary
cult of consumerism were discussed and the approach how such words are matched
with the elite and expensive watches.
The current
Head of the Catholic Church is humble. His Erhard Junghans cost only two thousand
Euros and the Pope was not the person who bought them. Benedictus PP. XVI was gifted the watches by the German
political figure Folker
Kauder during the post-election visit of the Pope to Germany. In spite of the price, they
have the automated winding, true German accuracy, white dial coated with the
special enamel and encrusted with sapphires. No gold is used in watches with
the case made from the stainless steel. Such watches come in gold also with the
crocodile leather wristlet with the price of 7,8 thousand Euros though they
were afraid the Pope will refuse to accept this gift.
The watches
Baraka Obama wears are too unpretentious either. During the pre-election
campaign Obama had the elegant Swiss Tag Heuer with the value of $1500 USD with
the light grey dial plate, brown leather wristlet and golden elegant trimming
elements, though later he replaced the watches for the cheaper model Jorg Gray
6500 which are manufactured in China
to cost around $200 USD. At a closer glance the watches are nottoo simple. They are made of the stainless steel, the wristlet
is made from the leather of the buffalo afforded by the ordinary people and matched
with the emblem of the American Security Service which is not affordable to
anyone. They say that the Security Service Agents clubbed together to buy these
watches for Obama. They secured the President-to-be and they wear the similar watches
by themselves when fulfilling their responsibilities. By the way, Bill Clinton was
wearing Timex Triathlon for $50 USD during the election campaign and his presidency.
Moreover, Clinton
collects the exclusive models of the most expensive watch brands.
George Bush
preferred Timex Indiglo that also cost $50 USD with the personal engraving made
to the watches saying George W. Bush President January 20, 2001. Such watches
will be definitely returned if lost. These
watches will probably put to auction in future and they will not absolutely
cost $50 USD.
Arnold
Schwarzenegger, the governor to the State of California, wears watches Royal Oak Offshore
and Paneria Luminor of the brand Audemars piguet.
Aleksandr
Lukashenko prefers wearing Swiss Patek Philippe Calatrava 5120j for $17
thousand USD. The President of Byelorussia prefers the same brand as the Russian
prime minister.
Dmitriy
Medvedev appeared wearing several models of the Breguet brand. Medvedev seems to
have a preference for the watches of the Classique Simple series and he has two
models from this line. First watches with the case of white gold with the automated
winding, 45-hour running reserve, dates and moon phases, and the second watches
have the golden case, without the elements and much simpler.
As for the
oligarch Roman Abramovich, he prefers Rolex and he changes golden Rolex Oyster
Perpetual Date Submariner for approximately $19 thousand USD for the Rolex
Daytona for $29 thousand USD. This is a worthy complement to the yacht included
in the Top-100 yachts of the World and to the Boeing 737 Business Jet.
