Would you ever wear a wrist watch


Olympic gold and silver medalist, top ranked tennis player and now Rado ambassador Andy Murray continues his quest toward the finals at the You. S. Open in New york. With Rado's assistance, IW recently lobbed a few watch- related questions his way.

Would you ever wear a wrist watch while playing on court?
I don't wear a wrist watch to play. As a player you tend to get accustomed to certain things and to stick with them if they work for you. I never used a wrist watch when i first started playing tennis so i think it would feel strange to start wearing one now.

I really do wear my watch when i do fitness training and I'm not using my racquet, though. I've got a chronograph and it's really a good choice for timing myself when i run.

Do you collect watches?
I wouldn't say collect, but I really do have a few watches. Like most guys I've always liked watches. They look cool and they're a bit like cars for men. I've learned tremendously about watches within the last few years, especially since my partnership with Rado started. I enjoy the sporty models. I think they look cool and they're practical for me.

Will you design a wrist watch for Rado?
There's a reason I'm a tennis player and not a wrist watch designer! I'll stick to the tennis and I'll leave the watch design to Rado.
