They should make a 10 billion euro watch for him, than he can have sleepless nights LOL
Should I but it or not, do I like it that much, Should I use a lot of savings and sell some other nice watches from my collection to afford this one ... ?
Mark Z. : From a naked wrist or an ugly plastic smartwatch to an über collector in less than 6 months
Watch his instagram account and scroll back 6 months or so, all pictures don't show any interesting watch. But then things changed. Some say the turning point was when he was invited to the Ambani wedding where he definitely spoke Anant Ambani about watch...
ya and also maybe fed up of living surrounded by electronics
So totally understandable his new found fascination for mechanical watches. I have to say his taste is nice. all pieces are definitely beautiful and horologically significant.
Of course one can’t mature taste to make that kind of journey in 6 months
And I would think every minute of his schedule is occupied. I highly doubt he does his own watch shopping.
C.R.E.A.M. -- Of course ANYONE can have a great collection, and it doesn't matter who you are or how dumb/smart you are, etc... as long as you have BTC / USD / CHF / Euro / Yuan / etc
It just takes currency, and currency is VERY easy to come by in some sectors. Look, we all know why a certain CEO can looks down his nose at 'Tudor peons', we know, tho of course you don't usually hear them use their 'outside voice' when they think it. Bu...
He went to Ambani's wedding and realized 2 things🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Mechanical watches do exist, are expensive and definite your status He's a billionaire. Actually it's more than just one thing, but he clearly has no idea of what mechanical watch is, it's just a game amongst gazillionaires. He's just buying the most expe...
Turns out that in a hobby frustratingly centered on money...
a guy with $200 billion can get very far very fast! Shocking, isn't it?
I think absolutely so too.
Look at Hodinkee talking watches with guys who don’t have a clue but are famous.
I know of guy who got into fountain
pens and accquired over $60,000 worth in about 15 months.
My dream job, in my weaker moments:
obscenely overpaid watch consultant to the obscenely rich. Cheers Marc
He can easily buy some nice watch brands ie. the Brands themselves too :))
Some say a famous YouTuber curates for him what to buy....
Absolutely agree!
Did people expect him to wear a Hamilton or a datejust?! We can agree that owning those high end pieces doesn't automatically make him a knowledgeable collector, but nor is he claiming to be one.
When you are one of the wealthiest people in the world, building a world class collection of anything is quick and effortless.
Literally just pay someone relatively irrelevant gobs of money to get whatever you want. Factors of tens of millions of $$ are literally irrelevant at their net worths. The flip side is they lose much of the joy of true collecting - relationships made, th...
In my humble opinion
he is no uber-collector, not even a real collector, just a guy with an obscene amount of wealth starting to hoard watches. Show him 5 watches with 4 of them being frankens or bad fakes and I would be surprised if he knew which one was the "real deal". Bei...
One reason or another I am happy to see him joining our hobby
From what I have seen first hand - these days most mega rich have art collections and discussing them is considered a decent topic, unlike speaking of more "materialistic possessions" like houses, yachts and watches. I personally consider watches a form o...
I think he will soon ..
.. have more high end watches than you have 2 Euro coins .... and more than I have 1 Euro coins LOL
Dont know his history in the watch game. Maybe he was a silent collector but for what i hear he bought most of them through a well know company who is also owner of some independent brands .
You forgot to add his latest (at least to my knowledge) the FFC . Pic from IG Happy for him but for me half the fun part of collecting is the hunt and try to find that one special watch that you (with a logical mind)can’t afford but try to buy it anyway 🙏...
