100 Anni di Rolex - Karl-Heinz Rummenigge

 

É con vero piacere che scrivo queste righe di prefazione al libro “1908-2008, CENTO ANNI DI ROLEX”, realizzato dall’editore Guido Mondani per celebrare il centenario della Rolex.
Guido Mondani è “tifoso milanista” dalla nascita, io chiaramente interista, date le mie 107 partite giocate e 42 goal realizzati con maglia neroazzurra.

Tanto contrastante il nostro interesse per due squadre rivali in campo calcistico, quanto concorde la nostra passione per un altro mondo, quello degli orologi Rolex.
Non vorrei azzardare un paragone fra me e l’amico Guido Mondani, uno dei più grandi collezionisti di orologi Rolex al mondo, ma posso vantare anch’io di una collezione di una certa importanza.
La mia passione per gli orologi è cominciata ai tempi in cui giocavo nell’Inter, anche se i miei acquisti si limitavano a orologi moderni di diverse marche. In seguito, avendo avuto l’opportunità di leggere i libri su Rolex editi da Mondani e scritti da autori come Osvaldo Patrizzi, Lele Ravagnani o dallo stesso Guido Mondani, mi sono lasciato travolgere da questo mondo così emozionante e coinvolgente.
Lo stesso stimolo che avevo quando giocavo, e cercavo l’occasione per fare goal, si scatena ora in me quando sono “sulle tracce” di un bel Rolex raro.

Da tutta la vita sono nel mondo calcistico, passando dal campo al settore manageriale. Per quanto riguarda il mondo dei Rolex ho cominciato proprio da zero. Grazie ai libri di Guido Mondani, e ai consigli di un esperto come Lele Ravagnani, posso dire di essere passato da “dilettante” a quasi “professionista” (per usare termini calcistici).
Sono un appassionato di Rolex Submariner e GMT-Master, e non a caso, esistono le edizioni sempre di Mondani su queste due tipologie di orologi.
Ora il mio interesse diventerà globale perché in questa nuova edizione si impareranno a conoscere tutti i modelli Rolex: dai professionali ai classici Day-Date e così via.
Quindi il mio interesse e i miei prossimi acquisti dove saranno rivolti?

SOLO UNA COSA E’ CERTA: SARANNO DEGLI OROLOGI ROLEX!

Acquista 100 Anni di Rolex

 

 

It is a great pleasure for me to write the introduction to the book “1908-2008” 100 YEARS OF ROLEX”, realized from the Editor Guido Mondani to celebrate Rolex’s one hundredth anniversary.

Guido Mondani has been an “AC Milan supporter” since he was born, while I am clearly an Inter Milan supporter, as I played 107 matches and scored 42 goals wearing the black and blue jersey.

 

The level of conflict arising from our interest for two rival football teams can only be equalled by the passion which unites us for another world, that of Rolex watches. I could not in any way compare myself to my friend Guido Mondani, one of the greatest Rolex watch collectors in the world, however I can boast my own rather important collection.


My passion for watches began when I played for Inter, even if my purchases were limited to modern watches from different brands.

Then, as I had the opportunity to read books about Rolex, published by Mondani and written by authors such as Osvaldo Patrizzi, Lele Ravagnani or Guido Mondani himself, I was overwhelmed by this very exciting and involving world. When I am “on the tracks” of a nice rare Rolex watch, I feel the same spur, which I had when I played and looked for the chance to score a goal.
For all my life I have been in the football world, passing from the field to the management sector. Whilst in the case of the world of Rolex, I began from zero.

 

Thanks to the books by Guido Mondani, and to the expert advice from Lele Ravagnani, I can safely say that I ’ve progressed from an “amateur” almost to a “professional” (using football terms).


I’m a Rolex Submariner and GMT-Master enthusiast and, it is not just by chance that the editions by Mondani already exist for these two types of watches. Now I will be able to fully develop a truly global interest, because with this new edition it is possible to learn everything there is to know about all Rolex models: from the professional ones to the classic Day-Date and so on.


So in which direction will my passion develop and what will be my next purchases? ONLY ONE THING IS CERTAIN: THEY WILL BE ROLEX WATCHES!
