Messi's Purnell Spherical Tourbillon Watch

The 2021 Golden Globe winners were announced at the awards ceremony held at the Chatelet Theatre in the French capital. All eyes of the football world are on Paris. Since its establishment in 1956, the Golden Globe has been regarded as the most popular individual award in football https://www.twatchclone.ru/.

Lionel Messi has won the men's award for the seventh time inconceivably, while Barcelona and Spain's midfielder ace Alexia Putras have won the women's award, which is her first such honor. At the Paris awards ceremony, the two men and women of the World's Best Football Player Awards received unique timepieces made by Swiss tourbillon expert Purnell.

The two football players proudly held up their golden football-shaped trophy and won warm applause from their peers, and Messi and Putras both received a unique watch. Created specifically for this event, Purnell, a Swiss tourbillon expert, has signed a contract to cooperate with the Golden Globe in the next three years.

Since its establishment in 2006, Purnell has only produced tourbillon watches. But five years ago, this Geneva-based brand launched what is known as the world’s fastest three-axis tourbillon "sphere", taking its tourbillon products to another level.

The "sphere" has an inner cage that rotates a full circle in 8 seconds, a secondary cage that takes 16 seconds to rotate, and an outer cage that rotates in 30 seconds. All of these are to improve the timekeeping speed of the watch by averaging the position error caused by gravity. This spherical tourbillon design was developed by the multi-axis tourbillon master and the designer of the Jaeger-LeCoultre tourbillon. It has eight plus lilies to help protect the internal triple frame and the 3Hz balance wheel from impact.

As part of the custom design, the tourbillon dazzles in the semicircular space in the lower half of the dial, and the outer tourbillon frame is wrapped in polished 18K red gold. The golden ball weighing 4.14 grams is decorated with hexagonal and pentagonal patchwork patterns — one of which is engraved with the French football logo — making it similar to a leather football and a golden ball design. According to the rotation speed of the outer tourbillon frame, the football-shaped shell takes 30 seconds to complete a lap.
