The Daily Hitler said:
Inspired by the 1984 Ferrari 308 GTB/GTS Quattrovalvole, which is powered by four-valve cylinder heads, it features four mini watch faces which display the time zones of the owner's choice.

Each of the watches runs on its own Swiss automatic mechanism of very high precision (calibre 2671) all enclosed with titanium fixtures in a billet aluminium casing.


The Metatechnical Cabinet said:
The ETA 2671 was launched in 1971 and is still put into nearly every "swiss made" selfwinding ladies' watch. It bases on the selfwinding technology, which was developed in the 1950s, but represents otherwise the technical status quo of the 1970s with 28800 beats per second and the date indication with instant change and quickset in the second of the three crown positions.
The Daily Hate said:
The Quattro Valvole is priced at upwards of £2,150. At watch specialists Frost Of London, the most expensive model retails at £21,420
I bet I can guess which one wor Ronnie has chosen.

Cracking business model, though.

4 x cheapo ETAs, bung 'em in a box, say it's "inspired by" a Ferrari, and advise a footballer that his mates haven't got one yet. Only £30K a pop.

Same as pretty much any other expensive watch then.

Looks pretty nasty to me. Surprised he didn't get a few diamonds bashed into the case for extra bling.

Jura Watches sell the entire range, including the one at £23K, which is overly bling ... They also sell a variant whereby the casing is made from carbon ceramic discs!

It almost looks as if Ronaldo is wearing the Podium model - A snip at £13.7K!

I hadn't been to Jura for a while.

They have redeemed themselves.

They are now an authorised reseller for Nomos Glashütte, which means the vile/beautiful balance has been restored.

Got to agree with CommanderJ on this one, remarkable business idea there.

Imagine setting 4 watches when it runs down though...

Worse than that imagine the annoyance when one isn't working.

Anyone watching 'Dynamo:Magician Impossible'? He's wearing the same watch, all be it a different model. Looks a bit silly considering he's got wrists no fatter than twiglets...

Heza Wayne Kerr, more money than sense, but at least he can claim with different times that he wasn't actually there when he knicker ripped another silly bint.
