On Sunday (Nov 13th), the 26-man squad selected by Rob Page to go to the biggest footballing competition of the year, received bespoke watches from Welsh jewellery brand Clogau as a good-luck parting gift before they board the plane to Qatar.
The sports watches, customised with an engraving of each player’s squad number, are a one off design from Clogau, known for mining its gold from the same mine as the Royal Family use for their engagement rings.
The squad featuring the likes of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey, were presented the watches at Vale Resort, Pontyclun on Sunday.
Clogau Managing Director, Ben Roberts said: “It’s a huge honour to partner with the Welsh football team ahead of the winter competition to create these completely unique watches as a good luck gift. We hope it reminds the squad of their Welsh roots and what an honour it is to represent their country on the biggest stage. Everyone at Clogau and in Wales is rooting for them!
“Each watch had the players’ shirt numbers engraved on the back and I personally signed a note to go with each to wish the players good luck as they head to Qatar. The remaining 40 of the watches will also be auctioned off for charities including the FAW trust, a really proud moment for Clogau.”
