Le Rhone signs tennis pro brand ambassador

Spanish tennis player Nicolas Almagro has been announced as brand ambassador for Swiss watch brand, Le Rhöne.

Almagro, currently facing off against France’s Gilles Simon on Wimbledon’s Court No. 2 on the second day of the world’s oldest tennis tournament, will now wear a chronograph from the Geneva-based brand which launched at Baselworld in March.

The brand believe the world’s current no.74 best represents the values of its debut, Road Racer, collection; namely sportsmanship, precision and passion.

Le Rhöne states that the relationship is mutually beneficial for both the fledging brand and the tennis pro, who is making a return following months out with an injury.

Almagro will wear a DLC-treated steel Road Racer automatic Chronograph which reflects the ‘aggressiveness and passion’ of iconic American cars from the 1970s. Each of the 69 limited edition pieces is individually numbered.
