Italian-Argentinian, 30 years old, right prop of the Italian national rugby team and since 2006 in the Leicester Tigers (first in the English Guinness Premiership), Martin Castrogiovanni will be, for one year, brand ambassador of Meccaniche Veloci, the Italian watch manufacturer that has chosen to be represented by the rugby fans' idol. Unmistakable in his sturdy build, his beard and attractively shaggy hair, Castrogiovanni - called Castro by his many fans who love him for his sunny disposition as well as his sporting achievements - is now the exceptional representative of the passion, speed and sense of challenge of the watches of Meccaniche Veloci, the brand that has made sport and speed its distinctive values since its very beginnings. A striking combination that comes to life in a specially produced video now online on the main social media channels. A head-to-head between "thoroughbred" sportsmen, where the performance and excellence of the sports cars of The Player team - of which Meccaniche Veloci is a sponsor at the 2012 Ginetta Cup - challenge the physical strength and grit of Castrogiovanni. On Castrogiovanni's wrist is a Quattro Valvole 48 Four Strokes Limited Edition model, equipped with four independent movements, ETA calibre 2671, while the glass protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal.
