Saint Charlie Posted 7 February, 2013 Share Posted 7 February, 2013 Suprised there isn't a thread on this. http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/eterna-becomes-official-timekeeper-642533.aspx Nice to see another leading business choose to associate with Saints. I am excited to see the new clock and was particularly empowered by this quote from David Valleta, VP at Eterna: “As a founding member of the Premier League, Southampton shares the same values as Eterna: a pioneering and innovative spirit, attention to detail and a belief in teamwork.

Dig Dig Posted 7 February, 2013 Share Posted 7 February, 2013 Great news for the club and another demonstration on Cortese's ability to build and leverage business realtionships for the benefit of the club. We can all feel good about being Saints fans today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 7 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 7 February, 2013 (edited) I don't think I've ever heard of Eterna... They have been designing fine Swiss watches for over 150 years.

Hatch Posted 7 February, 2013 Share Posted 7 February, 2013 I don't think I've ever heard of Eterna... and in about another half an hour will probably never hear of them again. They are the 'official timekeepers' of what exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 7 February, 2013 Share Posted 7 February, 2013 We get a new clock, and they get their name on the big screens. And they timekeep injury time, goals, subs, and anything else I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 7 February, 2013 Author Share Posted 7 February, 2013 and in about another half an hour will probably never hear of them again. They are the 'official timekeepers' of what exactly? They are the Official Timekeepers of Southampton FC. Its in the first sentence of the OS article: Southampton Football Club today welcomes Swiss luxury watchmakers Eterna as our Official Timekeeper. Excellent move from the club.

Saint Garrett Posted 7 February, 2013 Share Posted 7 February, 2013 Does our AAP sponsorship finish this summer? Would be interesting to see if we renew and go with a local name which is what was announced at the time, or whether we go for a big money spinning sponsor.

Winchester Red Posted 7 February, 2013 Share Posted 7 February, 2013 If it means the bloody clock won't stop on 90.00 and will continue into injury time then it gets my vote. Stopping at 90.00 has always p1ssed me right off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 Excellent news. Always good to see us associated with quality brands and these watch makers are certainly a premium brand and a bit more classy than the brands like omega and Rolex where fakes are rife and worn by wannabe gangsters and insurance brokers. I'm glad to see we are keeping standards high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
