Vladimir Putin Makes a Presidential Present of Swiss Watch to a factory worker
He admitted that the men in their family usually wore fake-brend watches because of the economy it brings. Such imitations rare cost more than 1,000 roubles, or £ 20 were his words. In another case, it would take Dmitry's father two years to save enough money for the purchasing of Putin's watch. And thus princely gift became a family relic.As a reference Blancpain manufactures mechanical swiss watches for the luxury market.It is hard to assume the exact motives which ruled Prime Minister that day. Perhaps the fact that victor Zagaevsky imparted Putin that both his two sons were serving in the Russian army. And thereby arousing some patriotic feelings in the former President.(But it is not ruled out that Putin fingered such a generous jest simply to get rid of black Blancpain and thus to emphasize his devotion to the favorite brand - swiss and luxury Patek Philippe.)It is noteworthy, that this brand does not like public advertising.But as easy as Prime Minister gets his watch he grants it. Being recently in Tula, a factory town, Putin astounded plodders by gifting his latest luxury swiss watch to a factory employee Viktor Zagaevsky when the man asked for a memento. So the worker became a scoop in a moment by having £ 5,500 black Blancpain. Victor's son Dmitry recited that he had got the watch. But neither he nor his father could ever afford themselves to buy such an expensive thing like original swiss watch.
