On August 16, Madonna Louise Ciccone celebrated her next - we will not specify exactly which one - Madonna Louise Ciccone, known all over the world as Madonna - the queen of the pop scene, dancer, actress, director, producer and writer (she has 17 books for children on her account). According to the Guinness Book of Records, she is the most commercially successful female performer in history.
Madonna has been in the focus of public and press attention for many years. With a considerable amount of shocking and scandalousness, the reputation of the pop diva as a style icon remains at its maximum height. Bold dresses and suits, countless bracelets and pendants, innovative elements (which is only one "conical bra" from the great Jean-Paul Gaultier) ... And, of course, watches.
And in their attitude, Madonna, oddly enough, can be called very conservative. Probably, the love for watches turned out to be stronger than the penchant for extravagance. Moreover, the star is fond of not only women's models, which are rather jewelry accessories, but also wears men's watches without hesitation, which surprisingly complements her stage (and not only) image.
There are many different watches in the Madonna collection. Let's talk about some of them. And let's start with the exception of the aforementioned conservative predilections of the diva - with the unusual watches of the young brand Philip Stein. They say that for the first time Madonna saw this watch during one of the air flights, on the hand of a steward. The unusual and at the same time clear design of the display of the second time zone - on an additional dial, separate from the main one - attracted the singer, and then it turned out that the watch was also extremely interesting inside. The Philip Stein brand concept is based on the fact that any object in the material world has a certain natural vibration frequency inherent in it. For planet Earth, this is approximately 8 hertz. And the watch mechanism is complemented by a module with a plate vibrating at this frequency.
"When worn on the wrist, the watch communicates the frequency of the Earth to its owner, thereby positively affecting his body" (from the company's press release). Madonna (as well as such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey and Jessica Alba) especially loves the “fruit” series - Fruitz Watches by Philip Stein, which is notable for its bright colors.
It is not the first year that two legends of the luxury world have been closely cooperating - Madonna and Versace. The singer, a close friend of Donatella Versace, is one of the officials of the fashion brand and gladly appears in public and in the frame not only in clothes, but also with a graceful Versace watch on her wrist. In particular, it was the singer who was the main heroine of a large-scale advertising campaign for the Versace Dylos watch collection, which includes both mechanical and quartz models.
Madonna was born in Michigan, but her favorite city is New York. Not surprisingly, one of the favorite watch brands of the queen of the pop scene is New York's Jacob & Co., which has a high reputation in the world of haute horlogerie. The models of this brand are not only extremely complex functionally, but also belong to the category of high jewelery. For example, an Angel watch with two time zones on a rectangular dial and a diamond set.
Continuing the review, we move to Europe. Here, of course, the main country of the watch world stands out - Switzerland. But the origins of a number of brands with the proud designation Swiss Made are located in the main, perhaps, dislocation of world fashion - Paris. Madonna always feels at home here! And often opts for a refined and minimalist product of the famous Hermes brand - the Cape Cod watch, in a rectangular package, with black dial and two reverse leather strap.
And here is Cartier. Is it possible to ignore (and often wear) the iconic Cartier Tank and Cartier Panthere? At the same time, we note the tendency of Madonna not only to male and gender neutral models, but also to a rectangular or square shape of the case. However, she is not alone in her preferences: among connoisseurs of Cartier, she is accompanied by Alain Delon, Andy Warhol, Catherine Deneuve and many others.
And finally, classics from classics: Rolex of course! We will not list the stars involved in this great brand - there will not be enough space - just say that Madonna has one of the most beloved watches. The Rolex Cosmograph Daytona is just one piece in Madonna's collection (but perhaps the most revealing one).
