What watch does Putin wear?

Apr 12, 2022

In fact, following Putin to buy a watch has become the choice of many people. The same Blancpain and IWC that he has worn have caused different degrees of out of stock.

What is even more exaggerated is that "Putin's same style" is also the pursuit of many political and business leaders. Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi followed Putin to buy watches.

He usually wears the watch on his right hand. When a group of people appears, Putin will always be the most eye-catching one, and the watch on his hand has a stronger sense of presence. So let's take a look at putin watch.

Regarding why he wears his right hand, I remember a saying that Putin has a "gunner's gait". No matter how far he usually walks, he only swings his left arm sharply, and his right arm must be rigidly stuck to the side of his body (ready to draw a gun at any time). Therefore, if the watch is still worn on the left hand, it is easy to be thrown away.

The watches that Putin chooses are more particular. One sentence summary is that whether it is worn for daily sports or for official business, it can be just right to arouse discussion, and it will not feel like a show.

Among many of the same models, Blancpain's leader series watches can best reflect his characteristics of wearing watches. Whether it is a special model with a global limit of 2,005 pieces or a basic model, it is very low-key, so that everyone wants to sign a signature after encountering Putin. Just keep it as a souvenir.

What's more special is that in a public welfare activity, Putin also threw a piece of Blancpain into the liquid concrete of the new hydropower station, and used the watch as a signature, which means that the watch is in the presence of people.

It can be seen from these things that Blancpain is really low-key, and people who don't understand watches will not label it "arrogant and extravagant". People who know watches know that Putin wears these watches, and they will also praise him for being very knowledgeable. If you just want to choose a low-key and unassuming watch, you can refer to Putin's choice.

The following basic model is easy to start with, and it is also the one that Putin has worn and bought by netizens. The difference is that the calendar window is missing at the 6 o'clock position.

This self winding watch is very professional and not squeamish at all. Putin usually wears it without worrying about it. You don't have to worry about jumping into the river to show off your swimming skills.

He also has a high-end version with a "flyback chronograph" function, with two more 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph sub-dials on the surface, and two more return devices on the crown, with a "big date" display at the bottom. Features.

When attending foreign official business, Putin also often wears this IWC pilot. Its price is lower. It first appeared in an interview with Oliver Stone of the US media SHOWTIME.

Later, when Putin met with Western politicians, he always only wore this cheapest IWC. Seeing this, everyone became uneasy and unanimously suspected that Putin's appearance of integrity in front of Westerners was in order to integrate into Western political circles.

I think there is another reason. Putin said before that his dream is not only to be a diver but also to be a pilot, and IWC happens to have pilot genes, so wearing a watch like this would not be too deliberate.

Putin also loves Patek Philippe and Lange, and these watches can also be just right to cause discussion.

The original photo is not very clear. After adjusting the brightness and contrast, it is judged that it should be the predecessor of the Patek Philippe Calatrava series 5227 - 3998G. This model was launched in 1990 and was discontinued in 2005.

Later, Putin entered the advanced version of the perpetual calendar, and still implemented the consumption habits of the same series.

Many people may think that Putin is so low-key and wears Lange, right? He did wear Lange, a piece of 1815, which is also a symbol of low-key elegance. Many people who want to buy a high-quality watch and don't want to be too cliché are suitable for choosing it.

Similar to the positioning of Lange 1815, there is also the Breguet nautical series, which Putin also won early. The dial is decorated with hand-carved hand-carved carvings and has a large date window at 6 o’clock (Putin seems to like the watch with a calendar window at 6 o’clock. ).

If you think that Putin’s watches are relatively low-key, it’s one-sided, because as a watch collector, Putin still has many high-end private collections recognized by experts. These high-end watches are more mysterious and more interesting. Looking forward to it, I have always been curious about what else he has.

According to the order information out of the brand, there should be a Patek Philippe 5208P. The picture below is a watch once sold by Antiquorum auction house, and Putin's full name is printed on the insurance policy.

Putin also has at least 5 Ulysse watches. Netizens speculated that part of it was a gift from the brand, and part of it was his own collection. After all, Ulysse was stimulated during the quartz crisis. It was Russian businessman Rolf Schnyder to revive the brand and restore the Ulysse watch to its former glory. And Putin and the businessman are also friends.

The following is a customized limited edition commemorative model for the Kremlin. Unexpectedly, Putin, who is also a tough guy and tender, has such a romantic side.

This watch reproduces the dial design of the marine chronometer through an ingenious layout. When Putin wore it, it also made everyone's eyes shine, thinking that he was very visionary.

In general, Putin is still very particular about wearing watches. No matter whether it is a top-level or a people-friendly brand, there is no mainstream style. He also has his own vision for complex models. No matter the craftsmanship, potential, and investment value, they are all fully accounted for. Collectors are used to describe them. He is not too much.

However, such a person who likes watches is often late for important international meetings and is known as "late diplomacy". It seems that Putin has set an example to remind all watch friends: buying a watch is really not to watch the time.
