Sports watches … what’s next?

 
 By: AndrewD : October 29th, 2009-14:39
Sports watches have long been linked with diving (Rolex), motor racing (TAG), mountain climbing (Rolex), yacht racing (AP), track and field (Omega), etc., etc.. I have mentioned a few brands, but there are many others. I have two questions for you: 1. Whi...

That's just from all the Tour de France sponsorship activity.

That's a very good list; thanks for putting it together. Audemars Piguet and chess? I had no idea. Andrew

American football is the only team sport that is . . .

. . . comprised of timed segments, so it's a natural fit for a chronograph manufacturer. Unlike other timed sports, football has never attracted a single watch manufacturer as a sponsor. For that matter, other than Miki J (who seems to have disappeared fr...

However, like you, I do not associate a watch with the sport. A chronograph would be a natural fit--I think some of the older "stopwatches" were once associated with football but not sure of any contemporary watch association. tempusfugit

American football ...

 
 By: AndrewD : November 1st, 2009-13:28
American football seems a logical mix. There is enormous television coverage as well, which would be perfect for advertisers. Just a 'simple' chronograph, or one to count down the timed segments? Andrew

 By: iceheller 1945 ✌️ : October 30th, 2009-01:59

 By: Cookies : October 30th, 2009-08:37
Just hope they cater more to "professional diving" as opposed to just using bezels and calling them dive watches

Curling? ....

 
 By: Marcus Hanke : October 31st, 2009-03:37
Now, with the winter season approaching, a real curling watch would be a great addition to the ubiquitous diver, pilot, driving etc. watches. Just imagine a watch that is so solid that it can even be used as an improvised replacement of the granite curlin...
