As a watch lover, this short movie exemplifies what I love about watches. Any idiot can go out and buy an expensive watch, but the story behind the watch you buy and the legacy that it has is what truly makes haute horology a true art. I admire Mr. Xabi for perpetuating this fine art in all of its glory.
Believe it or not my dad sold him one of these. He works for a shop in the Burlington arcade watches that specialises in IWC for the not part. I'm personally so proud to have his autograph such a humble and nice guy, not to mention being an absolute legend of the game.
The production value of these videos made by Mr Porter just blows my mind. They look so minimal, have a soothing tone and still look so elegant and sophisticated.
I love his comment about having “nice things, not too showy, and not to draw too much attention”. So perfect and so much class. I can’t help but contrast the typical blinged-out AP or Rolex wearer that I occasionally come across.
Definitely true that it's about technique and clever editing. But you can't tell me they aren't using state of the art gear here. The image quality is so sharp and dynamic, probably an Alexa I'm guessing.
I really like this guy, seems like he's intelligent and has a great style with appreciation for traditional things. Meanwhile most football stars buying Aventadors and shit, this is much more likeable.
Márton Szigeti I mean to be fair the aventador is a really good supercar, with great performance and jaw dropping looks but I mean if whoever's driving it has the mental age of 15 then yeah it kinda defeats the purpose.
Superb video, very well put together piece. Xabi is one of those Footballers that fans of even his rival teams can respect and acknowledge as a classy player and a good man.
Hey, I just wanted to suggest the instagram page @watchclubde to you guys. Great and classy watches with price tags, names and links on a daily basis. :)
Look at this classy dude (I assume that was the intention of the video as well) and then think of some other Bayern München Players and their "Street Style" which is pure show-off (and IMO pretty ugly).
I guess he also likes Patek Philippe, that sentence is very "You never really own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation..."
Im impressed with this man, he has more class than other footballers. Simple and not attractive just the way rich people truly dressed. Because he chooses everything that fits his personality not what’s trending.
I wonder which watch he will gift himself for the first Bundesliga title with Bayer Leverkusen. Which one if he wins Europa League, which one if he wins the DFB Pokal, which one if he completes the treble and remains undefeated throughout the whole season? He will have a lot of occasions to commemorate this season. And it is well deserved.
When Spanish national team was going to the stadium to play the 2010 final world cup, some players listened music, others were sleeping...and Xabi Alonso was reading a book....
Burak Akpinar it's an IWC commercial because they sell them on the site. He had so much in those watch cases - I saw at least one AP and that usually is always worth a mention above an IWC in many cases.
You could never tell he's a football player.
Such refinement and taste.
No Yeezys, No Off-White, No Nonsense. Pure Class.
Ron Swanson
I'm chuffed to bits
kanjobahn ok, ciao
Not a truer word said my man
Yeez
Real class is the humbleness of this guy - he doesn't need to show to the world what he has got, because he is so content with his life.
He's made a video to showcase his extremely, extremely expensive watches, cars and clothes. How have you come to that conclusion?
m4tpoons because that was the point of this Video, otherwise no posts anywhere on social media...
+m4tpoons
He didn't made the video, most likely Mr. Porter approached him and he was willing to do a video about his style..
This is an advertisement.
yes, yes yes...

The real definition of gentleman. Mr Xabi Alonso.
Sharif Aidid show g off his dumb expensive shut, looking "stylish". ok.
THE TRUTH MACHINE Reking bullshitters everywhere! hater
7 YEARS LATER AND HES ONE OF THE BEST FOOTBALL MANAGERS IN THE WORLD
Pure class.
Just like he is on the field.
slow af
Voulez vous coucher avec moi? anybidy can be of class with money. its not hard. xabi is lucky
Voulez vous coucher avec moi? come on! a homeless could have thus collection given the money. bullshit
money can get you stuff but not class
Xabi and Pirlo are the most classy players. Stylish and elegant, both on and off the pitch.
Xabi's style is very minimal ..I'm in love 😍

every few months i come back to watch this, simple yet inspirational.

He will always be there in the heart of every football fan. We really miss him in Real Madrid midfield.
shovon bhowmick n in Liverpools midfield
UGH! The cinematography! There is enough class with Xabi and then the camera work in this is the cherry on top!
So nobody going to talk about the fact that he’s driving a Porsche 356 speedster? ..
Akhil Shah no
"not flashy" at all :D :D :D
@@Classof-iu6yz Bist du aus München?
One of the best Midfielders ever, when he was in Real Madrid he was such a good player
This is the first ad I've enjoyed watching in a long time...
I would kill to know their set up for filming these videos! they look so gorgeous and beautiful, huge credit to the DP that pulls the look off.
Isaac Newcombe it's probably in his backyard
Isaac Newcombe i think he meant the equipment they use to record and the program to edit the video with.
It's all about editing.

Everything about this guy is so damn on point achieved every cup with club and country. Now with watches pure class 🔥
Xabi always exerted authenticity and class as far as I can remember him
i really miss him at real madrid. he is no.2 in my favorite all time players . no.1 Raul Gonzales
You mean Raul Gonzalez
What about Zidane and Roland (brazilian).
I have no idea how modern Real fans can choose.
Zidane number one manager too
Fernando Hierro, ....
Watched it thousand times and never get bored.
Proud he is a basque country man, a legend in our local Real Sociedad team, humble and sofisticated always, loved his watch collection full of taste
Our Xabi! Istanbul legend!
Subliminal message in the title trying to sell IWC....I-mpressive W-atch C-ollection
James Thomas xavi was saying that he didn't like thing's that call to much the attention... not impressive
They told him to say that. It's an advert for IWC.
+Gustavo Prato - Yeah and the next clip we se a full-on rose gold AP.
quality!
Hey, I just wanted to suggest the instagram page @watchclubde to you guys. Great and classy watches with price tags, names and links on a daily basis. :)
Have to revisit this video after winning the league
seems like a really nice guy with very good taste
very modest, humble, reserved guy but that's what makes him great. can't hate the man, no matter what team he plays for
he could be the new James Bond if he was English
NewWorldOrderFAIL he can still be it you racist fuck
FoZe ScuMP no are you stupid, A Spanish James Bond? lol, me'llamo bond, james bond, sounds stupid.
J(H)ames Bond
Not being racist, but a Bond has to be English, because James Bond is English
+hazrie imran He's actually Scottish
Absolute legend, on and off the field
Absolute class, Liverpool Legend. Was so gutted when he left Liverpool. How can Gareth Barry be mentioned in the same breath ?
Assad Aslam I love Rafa but Gareth Barry over Xabi. What was he thinking.
Liverpool legend.
what a humble classy person
Impossible to hate this man
FYI, Xabi **is** an IWC brand ambassador
A talented，handsome and humble man.
Great guy with style and class, fits perfectly with Munich and the FCB.
"en los pequeños detalles es donde marca la diferencia" it's in the small details where the difference is made. Puro clase 👌👌
This guy is me if I were a player. Love the lifestyle hes built for himself. God bless.
Great video. Love IWC watches. I like his emphasis on not being flashy.
Never been a fan of football, but this guy changed my view completely, amazing how smart and respectful some footballers can be.
Tiene mucha personalidad este hombre.
Look at this classy dude (I assume that was the intention of the video as well) and then think of some other Bayern München Players and their "Street Style" which is pure show-off (and IMO pretty ugly).
Very true, one day his great grandchildren will look at pictures and his style will still be relevant.
Philippe BucherFSHN Nothing wrong with street style, does not define a human being. Everyone has their unique style..i bet xabi mixes it up too
Philippe BucherFSHN why is streetwear a show off
streetwear is not show off if you have good street style not the basic yeezys or supreme or sum fukboi stuff
I guess he also likes Patek Philippe, that sentence is very "You never really own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation..."
Proper way of making a Watch Video , Pure .Class.👍🏻👍🏻
That relationship with his son, dignifies xabi as a superior humble human being.
Strange how I had totally forgotten that night in Istanbul. Thanks for the kind reminder 😂 💔🖤💔
I want to see more of this guy! Wardrobe tour, style videos, more content please!!!
Icon, on football and style.
Excellent, sophisticated collection
My man is about to make history with Bayer Leverkusen and this video makes perfect sense about him
Xabi Alonso - just the coolest guy. YNWA!

Xabi what a man !!!! Beautiful video
Finally a famous watch collector without a Rolex. Refreshing, classy.
What a classy man!
simple yet perfect just like his game
The house belongs to a friend of mine haha. I jumped on that trampoline when I was a kid. So cool
Boyyy what a suave guy, adds even more to his calibre on top of already being a handsome guy in the first place
He's humble af
Very regal. Great taste, subtle, minimalistic.
Take note Pogba with your flashy bling this is true class. Superb watch collection 👍
True saggiterian, like myself. We don't boast, showing type, yes banter and jokes but humble and just being simple yet classy is the way!!
Grande Xabi Alonso💪, campeón del mundo
simply beautiful. please do more!
The chair is called "Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman" if you're wondering.
Very true,
small things makes the difference.
This guy is a legend
True gentleman.
Xabi can pick a top pass and a top watch, top man. Well played.
Not many people can brag about FM in their collection. In fact I don't think I've seen more than 3 so far. Respect.
Class is permanent...
@2:37 - Good job Mr. Porter: you have created a positive imagine of a man with his children.
Que classe esse homem tem, dentro e fora dos gramados. Xabi Alonso lenda.
Agree, Pure class!!! Very weird to find in a Football player.
This guy is a class act and this video reinforces that notion. YNWA
Xabi Alonso bien pudo dedicarse al modelaje profesional, tiene mucha clase y elegancia
Best video you guys ever did
great footballer, great gentleman.
this man got class!!!
Jesus..this video is so beautiful.
Excellent video, concept, awesome, thank you
English bulldog and IWC watches , what a nice dude

Song is Alasken Tapes - Don’t Leave
Thank you so much dude!
When Spanish national team was going to the stadium to play the 2010 final world cup, some players listened music, others were sleeping...and Xabi Alonso was reading a book....
thats it? it looks more like a IWC commercial than a video about watch collection...
Some people have Rolex watch collections while others have IWC. Different horse for different courses.

Yeah looks like a commercial but he has other watches such as AP and Hublots.
Great video, cheers mate.
What a beautiful watch. Great video as well ❤️❤️
that lfc watch though, I would like to have a watch that had that kind of meaning and history.
Wow...highclass
