THE GAME’S LUMINARIES, PAST AND PRESENT, SPORT LUXURY WRISTWATCHES WORTHY OF A FASHION GRAND SLAM. Whether it’s the Australian Open, Wimbledon or any other Super Bowl of tennis, the diehard fans are all about the game, from the stats to the heroes, and we applaud their single-minded dedication. But there are also those among us—fashionistas, you know who you are—for whom a tennis tourney is also an exhibition of the most exquisite arm candy. No matter their gender, play strategy, or country of origin, tennis players have long dazzled fans with watches they wear on and off the court. For trendsetters and -getters, Serena’s powerful backstroke is a reason to gaze wide-eyed at the wide screen for a closeup of her wrist. Big matches like Wimbledon can draw a million bucks’ worth of luxury timepieces. No wonder fans are watching the watches.
