What kind of watch does lmfao wear
My purpose going down there was to support [Azarenka], so just having that goal to win the whole thing and do whatever I could to influence that with her, her team, coach and trainers. So that was the most amazing part about it for me, was just being involved with that and having that dream and having it coming true at the end through all the trials and tribulations.
When I root for stuff, I watch to see what she does and then I just do it louder. Once she puts her headphones on, you can forget it.
I grew up playing. My mother actually used to play. When she was pregnant with me, she was playing tennis. I have to ask again. You know how moms exaggerate. But there are pictures of her pregnant on the tennis court. When I was born, I lived with my dad for two years. I was always watching him on a tennis court as a kid, he was a fanatic. Boris Becker would come to the house and play chess. So tennis was a big deal, and I started playing seriously around ninth grade.
I grew up playing with Lester Cook and his brother, Jason. The point is, I made him change to a one-handed backhand after he saw mine. She beat me Those are pupils, folks. There's no question AP can make an incredible Black Panther watch. The question is whether AP should. Is it weird for an august Swiss manufacture to produce a six-figure wristwatch based on a comic book all about Black liberation and anti-imperialism?
I mean, yeah. It's weird. It gets a lot less weird, though, when you understand the context. First, this is not a craven cash grab to capitalize on the recent, tragic death of Chadwick Boseman, King T'Challa himself, who succumbed last year to cancer. Second, watches have a long tradition of celebrating animated characters.
AP says it drew inspiration from the classic Mickey Mouse watch design — where his arms represent the hour and minute and hands and move with the time. If you're going to do a modern example of a character watch, and you're trying to elevate the art form, then the AP Royal Oak Concept collection makes an ideal canvas. The silhouette of the watch starts out with white gold on a CNC machine. Then comes laser sculpting to bring out the texture and patterns — and then hand engraving to reveal the character's claws, eyes, facial features, and rippling muscles.
It takes four engravers and four painters to make all watches. Finally comes the hand-painting, which is what produces the intensity in the eyes. The finished product is much more elaborate than it needed to be to pass as a Black Panther tribute. AP could've just made a watch in the character's colors and called it a day.
Instead, the brand went ahead with all of the painstaking work above — and also created a brand new 42mm case. You don't have to like comic books to appreciate high craftsmanship, and on so many levels, that is what this watch represents. The purple rubber strap plays nicely off of the sloped purple inner bezel. The case isn't made from Vibranium missed opportunity, if you ask me , but it is made from a different anium — titanium. It's sandblasted with satin-brushed titanium inserts.
