It’s hard to miss Michael Jordan’s rare public appearances. And it’s even harder to miss the luxurious watches placed gracefully on Jordan’s wrist. From his expensive collection of mechanical marvels, His Airness pulled out another masterpiece, Greubel Forsey GMT SPORT Tourbillon Titanium 45mm Limited Edition.
Pictures of MJ sipping his tequila and wearing the watch worth around 600k have gotten the interest of fans and onlookers. You can only expect Jordan to flaunt such expensive pieces in the most casual manner. The event was for his Tequila brand Cincoro. Here is everything we know about the watch.
This is the first ever Greubel Forsey timepiece with an integrated bracelet, inspired by the iconic designs of Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak and Patek Philippe’s Nautilus. Like most modern luxury watches, it has a titanium case and manual winding movement. Measuring 45mm, the timepiece has a curved crystal to match its elliptical bezel. And along with it is a visual illusion that makes it look circular.
To top it off, it features a 24-hour world timer and a day and night indicator too. Boasting a 72-hour power reserve, it has a water resistance of up to 100 meters, as per GQ. Founded by French native Robert Greubel and Englishman Stephen Forsey in 2004, the Swiss brand worth billions of dollars is known for crafting the most intricate watches. For someone who is as fond of watches as Michael Jordan is, it wasn’t surprising to see the 6x NBA champion flaunting Greubel Forsey’s masterpiece.
Billionaire Michael Jordan also flaunted a $2 million watch
This was just another casual piece that MJ wore for an event. Not so surprisingly, the Chicago Bulls legend usually pulls out another expensive watch for his celebrations. This is the world’s fastest tourbillion. This exquisite watch was spotted on his wrist as he congratulated Tyler Reddick on the win at Talladega over 3 weeks ago. The watch worth $2 million became a key focus as His Airness celebrated the victory of his NASCAR team 23XI at the GEICO 500.
Not just expensive, it is also one of the rarest watches. He wore one of the finest examples of haute horology, the Purnell Escape II Absolute Sapphire Blue Moon. Just a bit like the one mentioned above, with more advanced technology and intricate complications, this is one of the most precious watches.
Other watches in his collection include big-name brands such as Purnell, Urwerk, Roger Dubius, A. Lange and Söhne, and more. A. Lange & Söhne Datograph ($100,000), Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Ceramic ($14,600), Rolex Daytona 6241 Paul Newman Dial ($140,000) and more are such examples. What we can say is Jordan is using his billions the right way. What is your take on this? Let us know in the comments section below.
