Jay-Z adds another top-tier timepiece to his growing watch collection.
When it comes to celebrity watch collectors and enthusiasts, rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z stands out as one of the biggest and best in the world. Having close relationships with brands and industry leaders, it’s no surprise to hear that the music mogul’s watch box features coveted pieces from Richard Mille, Jacob & Co., Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and so many more. Jay-Z’s status has even blessed him with the opportunity to collaborate with watchmakers on piecé unique examples like his $2.5 million blue sapphire Richard Mille RM 056, which he refers to in songs like Neck & Wrist featuring Pusha T and Pharrell Williams. Jay-Z is now making waves in the watch world as he is the first to receive Jacob & Co.’s all-new Bugatti Tourbillion, inspired by Bugatti’s newest $4.1 million Tourbillon hypercar.
Jay-Z made an appearance at 4040’s pop-up for Fanatics Fest in NYC, where G. Arturo Holmes (@arturoholmesphotos) got the perfect shot of him wearing the automotive-inspired Jacob & Co. timepiece. The Bugatti Tourbillon watch’s design is entirely inspired by the elements of its counterpart, showcasing the exact state-of-the-art, lightweight materials that go into crafting a 300mph hypercar. Its 52 x 44mm black DLC titanium case houses Jacob & Co.’s new JCAM55 movement, which has been meticulously designed to mirror Bugatti’s new V16 engine platform and its inner workings. With a massive six-figure price tag and ties to a historic hypercar brand, who will be the next Jacob & Co. Bugatti Tourbillon owner?
