Tony Parker Chosen To Be IWC Watch Ambassador

Aug 6, 2007

Tony Parker, number 9 of the Spurs basketball team, has been chosen as the new face of luxury watch house IWC Schaffhausen manufacturer of
IWC Watches.NBA point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, Tony Parker, and recent newlywed to one beautiful Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, should have no problem keeping track of time these days.
The new partnership comes right at the height of summer and right after his marriage nuptials, in which now wife Eva Longoria gave him a Piaget watch with a large pave diamond number 9 on the face as a wedding gift. As ambassador to IWC Schaffhausen, what will become of the elegant and sentimental Piaget watch now that he will not be photographed wearing anything other than IWC for the duration of his ambassadorship? Poor Eva – she gave him such a luxurious and fine watch and now it will likely sit in a fine box on a shelf neatly tucked away until a much later date.
Add to this development that the watch house Oceanaut gave the celebrity couple ‘his’ and ‘hers’ Pacha Cobra watches (set with 1.25 carats of VS-1, G-color – conflict-free – diamonds ) as wedding gifts which, of course, double as publicity for the company. Although, it appears that Tony Parker will not be giving much free publicity to that brand, either.
With all the gift-giving for this happy occasion, it looks like IWC scored the most – well, of course, so have the newlyweds Tony Parker and Eva Longoria !
