Russian pop titan Philip Kirkorov has set social media ablaze with his latest acquisition—a Rolex so exclusive it might as well have been forged in the fires of Mount Doom. The watch, part of a limited-edition series commemorating the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, features the towering "Motherland Calls" monument from Volgograd etched onto its dial—a symbol as weighty as the Soviet Union’s wartime legacy.
In a video dripping with the theatrical flair of a man who’s never met an understatement, Kirkorov unveiled the timekeeper like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat—except this rabbit wore a Georgian ribbon inside its sleek black case. "They dropped on Friday, and by today, they were mine," he boasted, as if he’d personally mobilized a SWAT team of luxury dealers. "I shook the world to get these."
The purchase wasn’t just about horological bragging rights. Kirkorov tied it to a deeply personal chord—his late father, Bedros, revered Victory Day like a sacred text. "The song 'Alyosha' was my career’s first heartbeat," he mused, blending nostalgia with the glint of Swiss engineering.
Meanwhile, the internet oscillated between awe and eye-rolls. Critics whispered about tone-deaf opulence, while fans hailed it as a patriotic flex. Either way, Kirkorov’s wrist just became the most debated piece of real estate since Crimea.
