France’s Macron removes pricey watch during TV interview on pensions, drawing criticism

French President Emmanuel Macron subtly removed a pricey wristwatch during a television interview on his unpopular pension reform, drawing criticism that he is “President of the rich” who is out of touch with the ordinary people.

In the video, Mr Macron is seen placing his hands under the table while speaking. His hands emerge shortly after, sans the watch on his left wrist, which is thought to be worth around €2,400 (S$3,440). During the 30-minute prime time interview, Mr Macron was justifying his reasons for lifting the pension age.

According to the BBC, his representatives said the President took off the watch because it was “clinking on the table”. The missing timepiece and the manoeuvre have drawn the attention of his critics.

Ms Farida Amrani, an MP for the radical left La France Insoumise party, said: “The President of the rich has never worn his name so well.”

The Elysee Palace told the French media the President was wearing a Bell & Ross BR V1-92 model, which is personalised with a coat of arms. The exact value of the watch is unknown, but according to The Guardian, the French media suggested it costs somewhere between €1,600 and €2,400. Many critics online initially claimed it was worth €80,000.

“He has been wearing it very regularly for more than a year and a half,” the palace added in a statement.

mechanical = winding or automatic = non battery or solar
