Neymar Jr.’s Richard Mille RM68-01 Tourbillon ‘Cyril Kongo’


When it comes to football, Neymar Jr. is a name that conjures up images of breathtaking goals, gravity-defying skills, and… fancy watches. That’s right, move aside football boots, because Neymar’s wrist game is stealing the spotlight once again. Our beloved Brazilian maestro has been caught flaunting his favorite timepiece yet again: the not-so-subtle Richard Mille RM68-01 Tourbillon ‘Cyril Kongo’. And let’s just say, it’s more colorful than a rainbow on a paintball battlefield.

Ah, the RM68-01 Tourbillon ‘Cyril Kongo’, a watch so exclusive that even finding information about it feels like discovering the secret recipe for unicorn tears. Limited to a mere 30 pieces, each painstakingly hand-painted by the talented artist Cyril Kongo himself. It’s like wearing a miniature Picasso on your wrist, except instead of hanging in a museum, it’s making its rounds on the pitch with Neymar.

Now, I’m no expert in horology, but I’d wager that a watch adorned with a rainbow of colors might be a tad distracting during a high-stakes match. I mean, imagine being locked in a fierce battle for victory, only to be momentarily mesmerized by the hypnotic swirls of paint on Neymar’s wrist. Talk about an unfair advantage! Opponents might find themselves too busy admiring the artistry to focus on defending against his lightning-fast footwork.

But hey, who are we to judge? If I had the means to wear a small fortune on my wrist, you can bet I’d want it to be as flashy as humanly possible. And Neymar certainly doesn’t disappoint in that department. Perhaps he’s onto something here—maybe the key to success on the pitch isn’t just skill and strategy but also a healthy dose of sartorial splendor.

I can’t help but wonder, though: does Neymar have a different watch for every day of the week? Is there a special timepiece reserved for penalty shootouts, adorned with tiny goalposts and soccer balls? Or maybe he’s secretly a watch connoisseur, carefully curating his collection based on the lunar calendar and the alignment of the stars. One can only speculate.

In any case, one thing’s for sure: Neymar’s wristwatch antics are certainly keeping the football world entertained. So, here’s to you, Neymar Jr.: may your goals be as plentiful as your watch collection, and may your wristwear continue to dazzle both on and off the pitch. Who knows, maybe next time we’ll spot him sporting a watch that doubles as a miniature disco ball. Anything is possible in the world of football fashion!
