Pas le courage de vous le traduire ce soir. Désolé.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi wears the most expensive watch - Constantin Vacheron for $540,000

A watch takes a distinctively special place among
politicians' accessories. One may say that a watch is the only standard
of luxury consumption. Real estate, yachts and jets are hidden from the
public eye, as a rule. A watch is something that everybody can see
every day. The Russian Newsweek conducted a research to find out which trademarks and models Russian oligarchs and politicians wear.

It turned out as a result
of the research that the Russian political, art and business elite
prefer gold watches by best Swiss makers that count several centuries
of experience. A watch underlines a high public status of its owner.

Russian President Vladimir Putin wears most
expensive watch among Russian politicians. The head of state wears a
$60,000 Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar watch. Putin wears his watch
on the right wrist, the magazine wrote. The cost of Putin's watch is
equal to the amount of the president's annual wages. The Russian
president makes $60,000 a year. It looks like Putin is rather devoted
to this watch brand. In 2003, Putin also had a Patek Philippe, although
it was a different model - Patek Philippe Calatrava.

Patek Philippe is a very conservative and expensive
brand. Patek Philippe is a watch for rich presidents, presidents and
politicians. It is noteworthy, that this brand does not like public
advertising. An NTV correspondent decided to find out once if Putin was
really wearing a Patek Philippe. “I have heard that the president has
one of our watches. It is a rather strict model, although it is not the
most complicated one,” a spokesperson for the watchmaker said.

Several Russian deputies and governmental officials
also have a fondness for the presidential trademark. Anatoli Chubais,
the chairman of the energy giant RAO UES of Russia wears a classic gold
Patek Philippe complete with indicator of lunar phases and two
additional calendar meters. Chubais wears his watch on the left wrist,
though.

President of Alpha Bank, Peter Aven, wears a
bourgeois Patek Philippe Annual Calendar that comes in a white metal
case. Aven's watch costs not less than $19,000.

Moscow Mayor Yiri Luzhkov owns a Patek Philippe
Calatrava for $18,000. A year ago the mayor had a gold watch with a
portrait of Alexander Pushkin on the back lid. Luzhkov received the
watch as a gift from the company Breguet for the 200th anniversary of
the poet.

Chelsea's owner, oligarch Roman Abramovich has a
selection of Rolex watches. Now he wears a $29,000 Rolex Daytona,
although he had a gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Submariner for about
$19,000 before.

Mikhail Gorbachev wears Omega Constellation, Zhirinovsky owns a Soviet-made Slava watch.

US President George W. Bush is a very modest person:
he wears a 50-dollar Timex Indiglo watch. The American president is
sure that he will never lose his watch: the presidential watch has a
personal engraving on the back: George W. Bush President January 20,
2001.

California governor and Hollywood star Arnold
Schwarzenegger wears Audemars Piguet, models Royal Oak Offshore and
Paneria Luminor.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who has a
great passion for watches, wears the most expensive Constantin Vacheron
watch for $540,000.

Putin a également une Breguet et une Lange 1815 up and down platine qu'il porte relativement souvent.

Merci pour l'article !

Comme quoi ça rapporte d'être Putin.
ok

Sarkozy il a quoi comme montres??
Chaque fois que je regarde la télé il a une montre différente! Mais je n'arrive pas à les distinguer ^^

Fred, il y'a des tonnes de sujets sur sarkozy je crois. Fais une recherche. Daytona, Breguet non ? Chanel pour sa femme ?

aujourd'hui je porte ma JLC reverso grande reserve.
Souvenez-vou en lorsque je devriendrai ministre...

(fin de ma minute megalo).

Bush et sa timex à 50$.
Je suis pas loin de penser que ça lui ressemble.
Tu m'étonnes qu'après il pense petit...

Oui la Rolex à un certain ex ministre de la Santé en mission... ce n'est rien à coté de l'équipement du très récent ex ministre de l'Intérieur...

L'article de la "Pravda", c'était en 2005.

Depuis, Poutine a reçu un beau cadeau, car il a des amis très gentils : une des deux Sonnerie Souveraine déjà réalisées par François-Paul Journe.

En revanche, je suis preneur d'infos sur ce que portent les candidats Bayrou et Royal. On a tout vu sur Sarkozy, mais ces deux-là ont le poignet discret...
