The big Premier League managerial reshuffle this summer included one particularly big bit of news: Xabi Alonso heading to Chelsea. Both man and club have had a wobbly time of it recently, Chelsea finishing 10th last season and Alonso only lasting seven months at Real Madrid after his tactics somewhat misfired. One area in which Alonso has been wasting exactly no time is in the watch stakes. While his fellow newbie, Liverpool’s Andoni Iraola, wears a sub-£1k Mido, Alonso used his first Chelsea press conference as a chance to flash a seriously in-the-know Patek Philippe. There are no extra complications, like a date indicator, aside from the actual chronograph here, so the dial feels well balanced.
