Being rich and famous has its perks- and a whole load of it. Seeing the way celebrities splurge on even mundane things like gold-plated toilet seat covers make you stop and wonder if they thought about what they did before doing it. But then again, you’d also be thinking that they’ve got a huge stash of money (which keeps growing by the minute) that they can do almost anything they want with it. This also brings me to the celebrity splurge on watches.
Browsing to celebrity dedicated sites; I stumbled on a few articles that talk about celebrities and their unique timepieces. Let’s start of with the California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnie here wears an Audemars Piguet watch. For the world of me, I can’t even pronounce it and I know the saying that goes ‘If you can’t pronounce it, you can’t afford’ and I definitely can’t. Anyway, Arnold is an avid watch collector who has a taste for limited editions Audemars Piguet and his other favorites are the IWC Big Pilot, Rolex and Panerai. Arnold is not the only one who loves Audemar Piguet. Beyonce’s new husband, Jay-Z is also a fan and sports the Auremar Piguet Royal Oak Offshore. Apart from that, Jay-Z also adores the AP Grande Complication. Just the sound of the names already tells me that these designer watches are expensive.
Pop princess Britney Spears adorns her wrist with a Roger Dubuis and has also been spotted wearing a Chopard Montres Dame and Breitling watches. Mrs. Beckham, or Victoria Beckham compliments her outfits with an iced-out Piaget watch while bond girl, Halle Berry, a Franck Muller Casablanca 2852. Italian president really takes his watches seriously and wears a priced watch from the worlds oldest watch maker- Vacheron Constantin tagged at $540 000 compared to American president George W. Bush who wears a simple Timex watch at $50.
