Lionel Messi created a style highlight with Louis Vuitton’s Tambour watch when receiving his eighth Ballon d’Or.
In recent days, Messi has been the focus of global media attention when he became the first player in history to win eight Golden Balls.
On many football forums, fans praised the Argentine captain, listed his records and discussed his fashion style at the awards gala at the Chatelet theater, Paris, France.
Messi is loyal to his elegant style, combining a white shirt with a black suit with a bow tie. In addition to the wedding ring, the 36-year-old superstar created a highlight with a Tambour watch – a classic design of Louis Vuitton.
The Tambour 2023 edition opens a new chapter after more than two decades of Louis Vuitton’s watchmaking. Specifically, for the first time the brand introduces an integrated strap and an exclusive movement developed by artisans at La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton.
Tambour is raised to a new level, focusing on every detail. The steel and gold version was launched this year, with thinner lines, which the fashion house compared to a stream of water hugging the wrist. The strap blends together, becoming a unified block with the round dial.
