According to Jacob Arabo, Jay-Z was also the first to wear Five Time Zone, a multi-coloured quartz piece with four subdials (zones) that showed the time in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Paris, which was introduced in the early 2000.
Jay-Z’s new limited-series wristwatch, developed over 18 months, is worth $340,000 – which is exactly the starting price of a brand new 2024 Cadillac Celestiq before the numerous bespoke options.
The Bugatti Tourbillon wristwatch reimagines the complexity and appearance of Bugatti’s latest hypercar, the new $4.1m Tourbillon – itself a limited-edition hypercar inspired by the world of horology.
Like the hypercar, this remarkable timepiece features a V16 engine block automation, a 30-second double-pace flying tourbillon, a twin power reserve as well as a retrograde hours and minutes that start at zero to mimic an RPM counter.
