France: Macron is caught removing his expensive watch during TV debate on pension reform

WATCH (lol)

The Sun: EMMANUEL Macron has been ridiculed after he tried to subtly remove his £2,000 watch from his wrist on TV while discussing his bitterly contested pension reforms.

The French President was seen tactfully slipping the luxury timepiece off during a prime-time televised debate on Wednesday.

Critics said his clumsy display of wealth during the 30-minute interview was further proof he is “president of the rich.”

Last week, the French leader raised the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a parliamentary vote, which sparked outrage.

While defending his controversial decision – which has triggered violent protests across the country – Macron sported a large watch on his left wrist.

It featured a blue face and black strap to correspond with the colours of the President’s security unit.

Viewers clocked that the watch had vanished 11 minutes into the conversation, moments after Macron place his left arm under the table.

As he doubled down on his controversial pension reform, the leader animated his point with his arms – and awkwardly hit the watch on the table. more here

  1. I dunno, it’s a tempest in a teapot. It’s his regular watch, if he hadn’t taken it off no one would have even noticed. The frogs just feel like a little Macron bashing at the moment. Oh yeah, and the 30 hour work weeks must be killing them.

  2. I’ll never understand the need or importance of having a wildly expensive watch. Hell, the toaster in my kitchen always displays the correct time. We are all surrounded by devices that tell time. If those all fail I have a couple of wind up watches in one of my desk drawers.

  3. I’m a bit of a WIS (Watch Idiot Savant)

    If it was an FP Journe, The last one I saw was $128,000 and EXTREMELY FUCKING UGLY. That watch looks much nicer & probably much more reasonable like a BR series.

    Macrons KNOWN commonly worn watches are, LONGINES under $1000, and a French brand March $600. No Timepiece internet sites have ever shown him with anything extravagant in the PAST.
    Like Most Idiots, he spend his money on RAPIDLY DEPRECIATING CLOTHING.

    When it comes to the absolute best taste in watches, Putin wins Hands FUCKING down. Patek, AP, A Lange & Sohne, Primo CLASS SHIT. Subtle Elegance, NOT Blingy. All of them are investment grade.

    what does that tell you?
