Hrithik Roshan recently launched a new collection of watches for a brand he endorses. Ahead of the event, he spoke to us about his love for timepieces, his most expensive buy and shares why he’s more sentimental about people...
(Cuts in) Oh yes, it has been one of the healthiest ones that has been mutually beneficial. It’s six years so far and I’m happy being a brand ambassador for a product that I actually enjoy wearing. That becomes a determining factor in making my decisions to endorse anything that I do. The brand and I go back a long way. My dad used to wear Rado watches when I was a kid. I used to see them, and he had a big thick wrist, so the watch looked really good on him. I always wanted a similar watch. That’s a sweet story I associate with the brand.
My father had a collection of classic Rado watches. I found success quite soon in my career and they wanted me to come on board as the ambassador. So it has worked out for me pretty well. Now, I have a huge collection, thanks to being the brand ambassador. (Laughs) I enjoy each and every one of them.
It may have been a Swatch! That was just out of college, I guess.
Yes, I do. But I’m again not particular about wearing a certain watch. Now, I actually enjoy wearing a watch with my suit. Whenever there are appearances or events, I enjoy wearing any from the collections.
That’s really simple to count. All I have to do is count the number of events I have done for the brand. (Laughs) I have around 12 of them now.
No, I am not sentimental about things. I’m sentimental about people!
Honestly, I don’t think I would ever splurge on a watch. Like I said, I get these watches because of my association with the brand and they are affordable and reasonably priced.
It would be my car, the Rolls Royce!
