Ronaldo's watch was the best thing about the World Cup final's half-time show

Ronaldo's watch was the best thing about the World Cup final's half-time show argues that, amid attention on the halftime entertainment at the World Cup final, the clearest standout was the watch worn by Ronaldo during the MetLife Stadium event in New York. The article says the halftime show began with Madonna and featured celebrity cameos, including Ronaldo and Ronaldinho appearing during her performance. It contrasts the broadcast moments by pointing to the on-field context of Spain’s championship gap and references off-field disorder after the final whistle involving Argentina, while noting that Messi was not alone among South Americans in delivering a subdued performance. The piece then pivots to watch details, describing Ronaldo’s Elégante by indie maker F.P. Journe as a high-demand piece, highlighting its tortue-shaped 48mm design and electro-mechanical movement activated by motion. It also mentions that other notable items were worn by Carlos Alcaraz, Burna Boy, Lamine Yamal, and Spain’s manager Luis de la Fuente.
