French football legend Zinedine Zidane is IWC’s new
ambassador. The Schaffhausen-based Swiss luxury watch brand IWC unveiled its
new Ingenieur Automatic Edition Zinedine Zidane in Paris recently.
Produced in
a limited edition of 1,000, the watch was seen on the wrist of Zidane himself
at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. Styling-wise, the watch is decked out in
the colors of the French flag and sports the number ‘10’ prominently, as you
can see.
This was Zidane’s number in the French national side. Gathered to
celebrate the event were Zidane’s teammates from the all-conquering 1998 French
national team, including Laurent Blanc, Marcel Desailly and Bixente Lizarazu.
Also present were Eva Longoria and basketball star Tony Parker, Arsenal manager
Arsene Wenger and actor Christophe Lambert.
