Solid, dependable, unflappable. Qualities to describe Joe Hart the man and Joe Hart the goal keeper. Combining a high-profile career with Manchester City and England, the one place you wont find Joe is on the front pages, adopting a low-profile and highly professional demeanour off the pitch.

With a genuine interest in wrist watches and all matters of timing, Joe is fully aware that a perfectly judged save, block punch or kick is the benchmark of his current standing; time keeping that can turn a game on a sixpence. Which is why he’s particular discerning customer and friend of David M Robinson. And on his wrist? A suitably sporty and beautifully poised IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Chronograph. “It is one of my favourite-ever possessions. It’s just a shame I have to take it off during games!”
