"Photos of George and Amal Clooney in Milan this past weekend cascaded across social media and celebrity news sites. They looked elegant emerging from a car on Saturday night and effortlessly cool at the airport the next day. But what were they doing in the Italian fashion capital? Yes, they were in town for the Winter Olympics, but the Clooneys turned up for a specific event: the Opening Gala for the Omega House."
"That's because Omega is the official timekeeper of the Olympics, a role it's held for the past 94 years. George Clooney has been an Omega brand ambassador since 2007. When Clooney first joined the Swiss brand, his father went into their attic and found an old Omega watch he owned and gave it to his son. "It worked perfectly and it was so beautiful," he said."
George and Amal Clooney attended the Opening Gala for the Omega House in Milan during the Winter Olympics. Omega serves as the official Olympic timekeeper and has held that role for 94 years. George Clooney has been an Omega brand ambassador since 2007 and described representing the company as an honor. His father found and gave him an old Omega watch when he first joined the brand, which still worked and became a family tradition. Clooney remains athletically inclined, having tried out for the Cincinnati Reds in his youth and continuing to play tennis and basketball, though winter sports are not his forte.
