Viniсius Junior, the Brazilian soccer player who currently plays for Real Madrid, has been photographed wearing a luxurious watch by Gagá Milano, a brand for which his idol Neymar is an ambassador. The watch is a gold anklet called the Gagá Milano Quirky Tourbillon Diamonds and is meant to be a tribute to the designs of Leonardo da Vinci. It features 161 components and is adorned with 309 diamonds on its case and 151 on its dial. The watch is valued at 140,000 euros.
Viniсius Junior, who has just received his first call-up to the Brazilian national team, will make his debut in friendly matches against Panama and the Czech Republic. He was called up by coach Tite to strengthen the team in the absence of Neymar due to injury. Viniсius aims to become Brazil’s new benchmark player and hopes to surpass Neymar in the future.
Viniсius has openly expressed his admiration for Neymar and considers him his idol. He has mentioned that his playing style is similar to Neymar’s and that he closely follows him. Viniсius acknowledges that he still has room for improvement, especially in terms of his finishing in front of goal. He aspires to reach or even surpass Neymar’s level.
The fact that Viniсius is seen wearing a watch from Gagá Milano, a brand that Neymar has purchased numerous watches from, is seen as a symbolic gesture. The brand initially gained Neymar’s attention when he accidentally stumbled upon their boutique in Tokyo in 2016. Impressed by their designs, Neymar ended up buying 16 watches, spending more than 150,000 euros. Gagá Milano did not overlook this act and later appointed Neymar as its ambassador, a collaboration that continues until at least 2020.
Gagá Milano, founded by Rubén Tomella in 2004, is a watch and fashion accessories brand known for its unique and whimsical designs. The company draws inspiration from 19th-century pocket watches and adds a futuristic and distinctly Italian touch to its creations. Gagá Milano has expanded its presence globally and has established its own manufacturing facility in Switzerland to produce mechanical watches to Swiss Made standards.
Neymar also has his own collection with Gagá Milano, consisting of limited editions featuring different materials such as steel, pink silver gold, and carbon fiber. Each model bears his initials, NJR, at 6 o’clock on the dial and incorporates diamonds set at 11 and 10, referencing the numbers he wore at Barcelona and currently wears at PSG and for the Brazilian national team.
In contrast, Viniсius Junior is seen wearing the Gagá Milano Manuale Tourbillon, a watch with a 48mm white gold case adorned with diamonds. This particular model costs 95,000 euros. It is noteworthy that Viniсius is already showcasing his affinity for luxury and fashion at a young age, despite recently joining Real Madrid.
