Vladimir Putin's watch?
Name: ImageUploadedByTapatalk1401908532.678152.jpg Views: 1702 Size: 75.4 KB. Hello everyone! It has been no secret, and in fact quite publicized lately, that Vladimir Putin has a monster watch collection. In his stable are multiple Pateks, Rolex, ALS, and many, many others. While browsing the internet today I noticed a phot of Mr. Putin and was curious as to which watch he has on in this photo? Guesses anyone?

That is a Blancpain. Being the ' Putin's watch ' it is quite popular here, in Russia, Russian watch forum sales corner.

He should wear one of those, but the king can do no wrong.

Yep. I was looking at the RG version in Vegas last year and someone mentioned that. Beautiful watch, but after that I just couldn't do it.

Looks like a Blancpain. He gave a Blacpain to an oil rigger right off his wrist! He's also got one of my favorites, a ALS Tourbograph (tourbillion chronograph- $750'000.)

He gave some random guy in a factory his Breguet (I think) that made a comment about how he loved the watch.

The Blancpain is his go-to, he has taken several of these off his wrist and given them to factory-workers etc.

Blancpain is owned by ETA so this is obvious.

Blancpain is owned by Swatch. Swatch would say Blancpain watches contain a Blancpain movement.

There are probably tracking devices or taps in those watches he gave away
