Tony Parker #9 Cobra Watch


Newlywed Tony Parker, NBA point guard from the San Antonio Spurs, perhaps now best known as Mr Eva Longoria, is the new spokesperson for IWC Schaffhausen watches. It’s quite a coup for the high-end watch brand. Adorning a Desperate Househusband is kind of a surprise for IWC, though. Its strength is in well-crafted understated classic styles. Contrast the IWC Portuguese Chrono-Automatic with the watch Eva gave Tony as a wedding present: a Piaget with a huge pave diamond number nine on the face. Does this mean the wedding present gets thrown in a drawer? I’m sure his contract doesn’t allow him to wear other brands. What does Eva think about that? And does Oceanaut regret giving the couple his and hers Oceanaut Pacha Cobra watches which will clearly now not be photographed on the famous wrists?
