Video of President Emmanuel Macron during Wednesday’s live TV interview from the Elysée is circulating on French social networks. In the pictures, Macron can be seen answering a question animatedly and banging his wrist on the table and making noises with his watch on his left wrist.
Immediately after the President fumbles his hands under the table, the arms reappear, but the clock is gone.
“When it comes to minimum wages – commented su Twitter the deputy of La France Insoumise, Clémence Guetté – this is where the President puts his beautiful luxury watch, under the table». The tweet was retweeted thousands of times.
And commented by opponents of the president who claim that Macron has an 80,000 euro watch on his wrist.
“Contrary to what has been said on social networks – sources close to Macron given on Radio France Info – the President did not take off his watch to hide it, but because he just put it hard on the table hit.”
The model worn by the French Head of State is a Bell & Ross BRV192 customized with the insignia of the Presidency of the Republic, as indicated by his entourage. It is a model that is sold on the market for around 2,000 euros: “He has been wearing it every day for over a year and a half,” specifies the source.
