Italian midfield general and watch enthusiast is Brand
Ambassador for Swiss Maison
Italian World Cup-winning midfield maestro, Gennaro
Gattuso, received a warm welcome on his recent visit to Dubai. Gattuso was in
Dubai as Brand Ambassador for Eberhard & Co., renowned Swiss
manufacturer of fine watches.
A self-confessed enthusiast for fine watches, Gattuso
has been lionised by fans of the beautiful game the world over, for his
tenacious tackling and supreme mastery as a defensive midfielder,
Presenting Eberhard & Co.’s exquisite line
of finely-crafted timepieces to the discerning watch lovers of the Middle East,
Gattuso’s partnership with the Swiss maison reflects the spirit of excellence
each have attained in their respective fields – football and watchmaking.
Eberhard & Co.
has always been
strongly linked to the universe of sports, thanks to an early specialization in
sports watches and chronographs that goes back to its foundation in 1887.
The career of “Ringhio"
(Growl), so nicknamed for his unwavering tenacity, has shown an impressively
steady performance throughout the years and championships, always the leader,
both for his teammates and the supporters. During his thirteen years as
midfielder in the celebrated AC Milan colours and several Italian National Team
appearances, he has won a hatful of accolades including the Italian Championship and the European
Championship twice and of course, the World Cup in 2006.
Two rich and
attractive stories that meld thanks to a shared passion for the world of
watches – Gattuso has always been a lover of precious timepieces: in a recent
interview he declared that, while in the past his choices were based on brand
and aesthetics, now he tends to prefer intricacy in mechanical features. This
is the reason why today Eberhard & Co. is his “wrist choice”.
Gattuso proudly
showed off the sublimely crafted Chrono 4 Grande Taille in gold at his
Dubai appearance. The Chrono 4 Grande
Taille is the most precious version
of the iconic chronograph patented by the brand in 2001. The Chrono 4 line
boasts a unique reading of time, with 4 horizontally aligned counters that are
animated by a special mechanism developed by Eberhard & Co. (Caliber EB 250)
on the base of ETA 2894. In the line’s range, also Chrono 4 Géant, that
represents the largest version with a 46 mm. case of incredibly advanced
construction.
The Chrono 4
collection may well be defined the legitimate witness of over125 years of
history, during which the Brand never ceased to look ahead, bringing to life an
endless succession of revolutionary creations made to amaze and conquer the
heart of the most demanding watch fans.
