Inside Xabi Alonso's Watch Collection | MR PORTER

Inside Xabi Alonso's watch collection — a day off with one of the world's most decorated footballers and a genuinely obsessive collector of fine watches, marking the arrival of IWC Schaffhausen on MR PORTER. We travelled to Munich to spend a day with Alonso: a drive in his classic Porsche 356, a walk in the woods with his British bulldog, a post-school snack for his kids, dinner out with his wife. Along the way he talks us through his collection — each piece a reminder of a landmark life event, from winning the World Cup, European Championship (twice) and Champions League (twice) to getting married (once). 00:00 Introduction — meet Alonso 00:40 The Porsche 356 and the early IWC 01:20 Home life in Munich 02:00 The watches and the stories behind them 02:50 Dressing for dinner Read the full story in The Journal: https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/journal/watches/xabi-alonso Shop IWC Schaffhausen on MR PORTER: https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/designer/iwc-schaffhausen Featured in this video: Look 1 — Moncler Gamme Bleu Jacket · Ralph Lauren Purple Label Cashmere Sweater · Ermenegildo Zegna Shirt · TOM FORD Denim Jeans · Cheaney Richmond Leather Boots · Lock & Co Hatters Cashmere Beanie · IWC Schaffhausen Pilot's Le Petit Prince Watch Look 2 — Helbers Bouclé Overcoat · Hardy Amies Rollneck Sweater · TOM FORD Denim Jeans · Cheaney Richmond Leather Boots Look 3 — TOM FORD Suit Jacket · TOM FORD Wool-Flannel Trousers · TOM FORD Cutaway-Collar Shirt · Kingsman Silk-Grenadine Tie ·
