Watches at Wimbledon: Who Wears What


One might say that Rado watches have been good luck charms for Scotland’s Andy Murray: he won his very first Wimbledon championship last year, shortly after partnering with the brand, ending Great Britain’s 77-year drought without a men’s title in that Grand Slam tournament. Murray wears watches from the Rado Hyperchrome Court collection, which is inspired by tennis. The three models each represent a different tennis playing surface, with blue highlights to represent the hard courts of the Australian Open and U.S. Open, orange for the clay courts of the French Open, and green (pictured) for the grass courts of Wimbledon.

Among these is the Citizen Ceramic Diamond Chronograph, which features the famous “powered by light” Citizen Eco-Drive technology and sports eight diamonds on the dial and 24 diamonds on the bezel. Citizen Watch Co. has, in fact, been the official timekeeper for the U.S, Open, the final event on tennis’s Grand Slam schedule, for more than 20 years.

    I wonder if you know what make and model watch is being worn by Jelena Djokovic this year. I first noticed it at WImbledon, and she’s wearing it currently at the US Open.My guess is that’s it’s a Cartier.
