OMEGA
“I have a thing for watches, especially OMEGA. Solid, beautiful, you can always show off. The most beautiful watch I have is a special design from Rolex after the 2010 World Cup, which we as players were able to purchase. Mine has my name on it and my jersey number, three. There is only one of those. A beautiful memory of one of the highlights of my career. The watch I wear the most is the OMEGA Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Black Black: black, suits me.”
Mykita
“I'm a big fan of consistency. For example, I am loyal to a sunglasses brand that I discovered in Berlin: Mykita. The weight, the quality... Those are the sunglasses for me. I always have it with me.”
Skins Cosmetics, Amsterdam
“In the shop at the Conservatorium Hotel I always get scented candles for home and my favorite scent, Bal'd Afrique, a vetiver scent inspired by Paris in the 1920s, with Neroli, African marigold and Moroccan cedar as ingredients. I think it's such a beautiful store! I always stop by there when I'm buying presents for Christmas.”
Boretti barbecue, Amsterdam
“I'm not a good cook, but I can enjoy barbecuing. And then a Boretti is perfect for me. Almost more than a barbecue, it is a small outdoor kitchen. Especially at this time, and with the nice weather this spring, I use it a lot. With the family in the garden, Lennox playing football, Jezebel doing a cartwheel, Charlotte-Sophie working on Rixo... And in the meantime I put a nice piece of Black Angus on the coals. At the table, with music on - you are really together. That is gold.”
Doppio Bike, Amsterdam
“That is my new means of transport in the city. A rugged bike, not a standard city model. I also delivered Signs for our Heroes with it. I cycle a lot anyway.”
