This has been a big year for Formula One driver Charles Leclerc. The 28-year-old tied the knot with girlfriend Alexandra Saint Mleux in a private ceremony in February earlier this year. Then, on June 3, Ferrari announced it had inked a deal to extend its contract with the Monégasque racing driver for the seasons to come.
“I couldn’t be happier to continue this journey with Scuderia Ferrari HP,” Leclerc said in a statement.
“Being a Ferrari driver is a dream, but it’s also a responsibility I never take for granted,” he added. “I’ll continue to give absolutely everything I have to bring this team back to where it belongs, at the very top, for everyone in Maranello [Ferrari’s hometown], and above all for the tifosi [Italian superfans], whose passion is the heartbeat of this Scuderia.”
Since he made his F1 debut at the 2018 Australian Grand Prix, Leclerc has become one of the most recognised and celebrated racers of his time. Even his younger brother Arthur has the bug, being a development driver, also for Ferrari.
The F1 driver – who has invested in Chrono24, the online marketplace for luxury watches – also has an impressive watch collection. Here’s a look at some of his most impressive timepieces.
A long-time friend of the Richard Mille brand, Leclerc was given the rare honour of having a watch named after him. In 2022, he was seen sporting the RM 67-02 Charles Leclerc, a sleek prototype sportwatch featuring a case made of Quartz TPT and Carbon TPT, weighing a mere 32 grams. It’s instantly recognisable with its red-and-white palette paying homage to the Monaco flag.
Unfortunately for Leclerc, his one-of-a-kind watch – estimated to be worth upwards of US$300,000 – was stolen right off his wrist while he was signing autographs ahead of the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Italy that year.
