Carrying a ball with me everywhere has been a lifelong habit, and football has been the force that took me from Neuchatel to Rutgers University, courtesy of a soccer scholarship, as they call it. The values embodied by this sport are nothing short of remarkable, and the passion it ignites is truly heartwarming. I am deeply honored to have the opportunity to create a watch that, in my belief, is as enchanting as this prestigious trophy.”
