Check out how Cristiano Ronaldo’s obsession with watches has blown up in Saudi Arabia, with a cool £1.6m piece in his collection

Cristiano Ronaldo has been totally obsessed with being the best player in the world for, like, the past two decades.

The debate about whether he’s better than Lionel Messi in the all-time rankings still splits people’s opinions, but one thing’s for sure: his work ethic is what’s gotten him to the very top of the game.

Most people agree that Messi has more natural talent, but Ronaldo’s mindset has made him a total beast and helped him win five Ballon d’Or awards.

But, like, even though he’s like, probably working harder than anyone to be one of the best footballers in the world, Ronaldo also makes sure he has time for hobbies outside of the game.

And you know what he’s really obsessed with when he’s not playing? Watches.

He was first spotted wearing the watch with five time zones at an event in 2013The Grand Baguette Diamond is worth a cool $1 million (£800k) and has a whopping 761 diamonds in it.

The global superstar is hardly ever seen without one, and we’re not talking about just any watches either. Ever since he moved to Saudi, the superstar has had more time to do his favorite thing, but it’s not something he just started liking.

So, Ronaldo was all about watches when he was at Real Madrid. He was rocking a fаncy Grand Baguette Diamond, you know? So, how much does that thing cost, you wanna know? Just a cool million bucks (£800k).

Yo, check out this sick watch! It’s got a crаzy 761 diamonds and can tell time in five different zones. So, you’ll know what time it is at home and in New York, LA, Tokyo, and Paris. Pretty rad, right? 

When you think about it, there are apparently only six of these watches in the whole world. So, it’s not really a shocker that it’s crаzy expensive.

You might think that couldn’t be beaten, but he’s actually worn an even more expensive watch.

So, this Portuguese dude showed up to a press conference for Juventus in 2018 wearing this crаzy expensive watch. It was a Franck Muller Invisible Baguette Diamonds Imperial Tourbillon worth a whopping $2 million (£1.6 million).

Yo, check out this sick silver watch! It’s got a crаzy 474 diamonds and like 70 rubies for that dоpe red trim. You can’t miss it, man!

That design is pretty bold, but that’s no surprise for Ronaldo.

He’s also flexed a suρer cool Hublot watch before, with a black band and a dоpe teardrop shape at the bottom of the wrist. Hey, just so you know, this is gonna cost ya $1 million (or £800,000).

Ronaldo has also rocked a £605,000 Rolex Daytona that totally stands out with its gold wrist strap and pearl dial.

He dropped another £392,000 on a different Rolex – the Rolex GMT-Master II – and rocked it at the Dubai International Sports Conference in 2019.

But, like, it’s not just about the price when it comes to watches for the 38-year-old, ya know?

Yo, before heading out to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Ronaldo chilled for a press conference rockin’ a watch that only cost £45,000.

It was like, totally a fаncy luxury item, you know? The rose gold watch had like 26 baguette-cut diamonds. So bling!  

Man, Ronaldo’s got this sick collection of watches, but he doesn’t hoard ’em all for himself.

So, like, last month, he gave former UFC heavyweight champ Francis Ngannou this suρer fаncy watch that’s worth £87,000. He did it right before Ngannou’s big figҺt against Tyson Fury from Britain.

Yo, check out Francis Ngannou flexin’ on Instagram with that fаncy £87,00 watch that Ronaldo hooked him up with.

Ngannou just posted a video on his social media of him opening the present and he looked suρer stoked with his gift.  

So, is this all just like a personal hobby for Ronaldo, or is there like something more to it?

Well, Ronaldo actually has a partnership with Swiss watchmaker Jacob & Co, which goes some way to explaining his desire to promote watches at any given opportunity.

They gave him a £92,000 watch in May, and now he’s partying on the clock face. 

Besides rocking the watches in public, he’s also all about flaunting them on his social media.

Just last weekend, he posted a pic of himself rocking a Jacob & Co CR7 limited edition watch from when he checked out their store in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The watch was a present from Jacob & Co., which was given to him in May, when they were launching their new collection.

The unique watch that has Ronaldo celebrating on the clock face is worth £92,000

The one-of-a-kind watch that features Ronaldo’s celebration on the face of the clock is valued at 92,000 pounds.

The fact that he is providing the corporation with exactly the publicity they are looking for is demonstrated by the fact that that post has earned well over 10 million likes on Instagram.

Giving another one of his watches as a present to one of the most famous athletes in the world, Ngannou, can only serve to increase the amount of excitement surrounding the product.

Additionally, you should not anticipate Ronaldo to reduce the amount of time he spends hawking watches in the near future.

A portion of the online watch marketplace Chrono24 was purchased by him earlier this year after he had previously invested an amount that was not revealed in the business.

“It is a pleasure for me to become a shareholder in the company now,” he said in a statement that was released after the transaction was made. “I have been a watch collector for a long time and I use Chrono24 on a regular basis.”

This worldwide unification is something I am very familiar with and am glad to be a part of. Chrono24 brings together milliоns of watch enthusiasts from all over the world so that they can share in their passion together.

In the beginning of this year, Ronaldo became a shareholder in the international online watch marketplace Chrono24.

Due to the fact that Ronaldo has worn watches from high-end brands such as Hublot and Rolex during the course of his career, there is little doubt that he is a watch enthusiast.

However, when you take into consideration the fact that he also has a financial stake in a number of different watch firms, it becomes much simpler to comprehend why he has developed such a strong interest in the subject. 

After departing from Europe at the beginning of the year, he is currently enjoying yet another remarkable season in Saudi Arabia, where he is scoring goals at an extraordinary rate. His unrelenting play on the field has become his signature.

He is currently making waves in the watch industry away from the pitch, and you would not bet against him continuing to make a great success of that when he ultimately hangs up his boots. He is currently making waves in the watch industry.
