Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal had an active watching practice session

welcome to clock of the weekHere we track down the rarest, wildest, and coveted watches worn by celebrities.

Roger Federer played what has been described as his final “competitive” match on Friday. But it didn’t take long for Federer to spot a few new moves from his longtime rival Rafael Nadal, as photos from a smiling practice session earlier this week show.

It was no surprise that Nadal had this watch on his wrist. This Spaniard always wears his one of the tickers, made in collaboration with Richard Mille, the makers of his super-strong sports watches. Nadal has been wearing his RM 27-04 avidly lately. This is the latest creation from our partnership with the brand. The watch features a single crisscross steel cable screwed into the case to mimic a tennis racket.

What made the rivalry between Federer and Nadal so special was how they seemed polar opposites in everything: playing style, personality and handedness. The clock was another point where they differed. While Nadal rocks his RM on the court, Federer has never worn a watch while playing. He was accustomed to collecting his belongings and taking the Rolex of his choice out of his bag at post-match and pre-championship ceremonies.

But Federer changed his approach during a practice session with Nadal. Rog showed up wearing not just Rolex, but one of Crown’s most exciting new offerings of the year: his “Destro” (left-handed) GMT-Master II. This is the first watch Rolex has made specifically for left-handers, and the green and black color combination (named “Sprite” by a collector) is also new to the brand. Coincidentally, the ‘Destro’ layout is perfect for his tennis player. The watch’s winding crown points to his Fed’s, and there’s no danger of it digging into your wrist during your swing. (Audemars Piguet customized the watch in this configuration for Serena Williams to wear while playing.) Either way, the new GMT was the perfect companion for Federer’s final dance.
