The emperor of misfortune, Michael Ballack .
Ballack, who was said to be the second coming of Beckenbauer, who was famously nicknamed "the Emperor", reigned in the center of the pitch with his outstanding technique and strong physique, scoring many goals with his powerful mid-range shots and headers. He was a captain with excellent tactical ability and the ability to lead a team, but he was not blessed with any big titles with the national team... That's why he is called the "Crownless Emperor" and the "Unlucky Emperor".

The sophisticated design of the Urwerk Ref. UR-202 shines like no other
This rare model is limited to 10 pieces and was released by Urwerk, an independent watch manufacturing company founded in Switzerland in 1997. The black-coated platinum case exudes a sense of luxury, and the contrast with the bright yellow Arabic numerals is beautiful. The innovative and complex design of the dial, hands, and case goes beyond the concept of a watch and can be considered a work of art.

Miroslav Klose is a late bloomer striker who rose to the top through hard work.
Klose is one of the world's best all-around forwards, possessing high levels of technique, speed, and power. Although he scored a lot of goals for his club team, Klose is best known for the World Cup. He scored 16 goals in four tournaments in 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014, breaking the all-time World Cup scoring rankings, and his record remains unbroken to this day. (As of September 24, 2023)

The Daytona Ref. 116500LN is widely regarded as the greatest Daytona to date.
The bezel has been changed from stainless steel to Cerachrom, which is highly resistant to corrosion and scratches, and has evolved into a more stylish design. The new model was announced at Watches and Wonders 2023, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the most popular model in the watch world right now. Since the new model was announced, there have been many inquiries and the market price has remained unstable, but considering that it has been discontinued, there is no doubt that the future is exciting. If you are considering purchasing one, now may be the time to buy!
Lukas Podolski

Lukas Podolski, the man with the devil's left foot.
Podolski is a natural striker with a keen sense of smell in front of the goal and a specialized scoring ability. He is good at moving when he does not have the ball (off the ball) and excels at creating free situations with a single movement. His greatest characteristic is his powerful shots that can blow away the goalkeeper's hands. His shots, fired from his left foot, his dominant foot, were so powerful that they were called the "Devil's Left Foot."

The Big Bang Unico King Gold "Ref. 411.OX.1180.RX" features a beautiful combination of a King Gold case and rubber strap.
This "Big Bang" model has a sporty yet luxurious feel, and has become such a big hit that it has changed the image of Hublot. The case is made of Hublot's proprietary "King Gold" and is luxurious, and is a perfect match for the playful half-skeleton dial. It is equipped with the in-house developed movement "Unico", and the chronograph has a flyback function and uses the column wheel control method, which is a symbol of high-end chronographs.
