The Watch of the Wimbledon Champion

July 2005


This time he had it on when he presented his hard-fought trophy to the celebrating crowd for the third time at Wimbledon. In 2004, the emotions came thick and fast after winning the match point that had decided the most important tennis tournament of the year, and Roger Federer did not think about slipping on his Maurice Lacroix watch for the trophy presentation. But within the last year, this Swiss tennis star, who can now be counted among the sport’s greatest with his third successive Wimbledon victory, has had the opportunity to identify completely with the watch brand he has represented since 1 June 2004 and the watch models they make. Not only did he visit the Maurice Lacroix facilities at Saignelégier in Switzerland’s western Jura Mountains, he was also present at various events in Switzerland, Germany, the United States, Thailand, Australia and at London. It is therefore completely natural for him to wear one of the watches from his Maurice Lacroix collection after his victories and at all official appearances. Roger Federer selected the Masterpiece Croneo COSC for the Wimbledon final. This is the first model in the exclusive Masterpiece Collection to carry the name of this exceptional athlete, and it is a COSC certified chronometer and one of the few things that can match Roger Federer point-for-point in terms of athleticism and precision.
