A reception was recently organized at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris by IWC Schaffhausen to launch the Zinedine Zidane watch in a tribute to the accomplished French footballer. The brand-player joint virtues of precision, generosity, technical aptitude and understatement are reflected in the watch, which is issued in a limited edition of 1000 units. Among the 500 guests invited to the event were celebrities, actors, singers, models, TV stars and several sporting celebrities such as top basketball player Tony Parker as well as the Captain’s teammates from 1998.
