Alfonso Cusi — watch collection

About Alfonso Cusi’s watch collection

Alfonso Cusi is a prominent Filipino businessman and public official who has built a career spanning energy, infrastructure, and corporate governance. He served as Secretary of the Department of Energy of the Philippines under President Rodrigo Duterte from 2016 to 2022, overseeing the country's energy policy during a period of significant reform and infrastructure development. Before and alongside his government service, Cusi has been active in the private sector, with business interests that have made him one of the more recognizable figures in Philippine entrepreneurial circles. He is also known for his involvement in the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino–Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban) political party.

When it comes to watches, the Alfonso Cusi watch collection leans toward Swiss sports and prestige pieces rather than dress watches, which fits the profile of a businessman who moves between boardrooms and public life. The one confirmed sighting in our database places him wearing the Tag Heuer Link Tiger Woods Golf Watch, reference WAE1111-0 — a limited-production piece from Tag Heuer's Link collection that was produced in connection with the brand's long-running sponsorship of golfer Tiger Woods. The Link line itself dates back to 1987, originally designed by Othmar Reichart and introduced under the name the S/el before being rebranded. The Tiger Woods editions occupy a specific chapter in Tag Heuer's catalog history, combining the sporty architecture of the Link with co-branding tied to one of golf's most commercially significant athletes.

The choice of a discontinued, co-branded Tag Heuer rather than a current flagship model suggests a collector sensibility — someone who sources pieces for their backstory as much as their appearance. The WAE1111-0 is not a watch you walk into a boutique and buy today, which gives it a degree of deliberate selection. For a figure who has navigated both business and government at a senior level, it is a grounded, sport-adjacent choice that says more about personal taste than it does about displaying rank.
