Tennis star Roger Federer stepped off the court serve up a review of his impressive Rolex collection.
Federer talked about three of his pieces—surely just a small fraction of his collection—and pointed out what makes each special in the interview with Vijay Amritraj
He began with the Rolex Day-Date, his preferred evening piece. He calls it his go-to for dressy nighttime events. Federer moved on to a vintage piece, a 1981 Daytona. This special stainless steel timepiece was created the same year Federer was born, and Rolex gave it to him for his 30th birthday last year.
Finally, the Datejust. To call it a sentimental piece is an understatement: he wore it at the trophy ceremony for his 15th grand slam win.
Seth Semilof co-founded Haute Living and, with business partner Kamal Hotchandani, launched Haute Time, the brands' luxury timepiece site, to educate buyers about the best watches in the world and to showcase the passion of collectors and the CEOs who lead the great maisons. His love of watches began early: a TAG Heuer at 13, an Omega at 16, and his first Rolex at 20. Through Haute Time he has been honored to visit the greatest watch manufactures in the world and meet the master watchmakers behind them. He has also personally featured private collections exclusive to Haute Time, taking readers inside the watch boxes of Kevin Hart, Carmelo Anthony, Tony Robbins and Swizz Beatz.
