Ben Widdicombe Blind Items

Which internationally famous solo musician, who is paid a small fortune to be a face of a luxury watch manufacturer, actually prefers to wear one made by the competition? His endorsement contract includes a handler whose sole job it is to stop him before he goes on stage to replace his wristwatch with one made by the sponsor.

    Definitely Elton; his association with Chopard is very high profile and they donate proceeds to his Aids causes.

    Maybe he prefers the understated elegance of Movado or Philippe Patek?

    I would love to be that handler.

    Jesus. A handler whose sole job it is to prevent this bozo from wearing the wrong watch? I wonder what their resume looks like.
