Quite a few Breitlings on the list.

But they felt the need to include that the CEO of Apple wears an Apple watch. In other news, water is wet.

Would have thought there would have been more Rolex owners.

Same but Rolex comes with a lot of negative connotations these days and they are in the limelight. On the other hand, they are on top so they can do what they want.

Didn't Obama get a Rolex as soon as his term was up? Wouldn't wear one as President though.

Surprised at how many Breitlings there were. The only Breitling I really like is the Navitimer.

"Hurd wears a classic, the Rolex Dayjust. It retails new for $US3,500". Two typos in one sentence, hmm.

The prices on these Pateks are way, way off.

There is a cultural shift within today’s culture as it relates to high priced luxury items. They use to be a sign of success. Think Cadillac, Mercedes and yes the Rolex brand. In the Bay Area where I live I have many friends who want a certain car or timepiece but don’t purchase due to the possibility of the product shaming they will recieve. The exception is if you drive a 130k Tesla. Then you are an environmentally conscience person who has some money so you pass the liberal sniff test. Rolex? Porsche? Oh man. You will catch some negative looks. Apple Watch? Tesla? Bay Area perfection. Hatters gonna hate.

tyler1980 · 5 April 2018, 04:11 PM

seems very selective in order to make Breitling seem like the go to watch.

you could compile a similar list and have it heavy on pretty much any brand you wanted .

Breitling has always been a strong player with aviators, celebrities and VIPs. They are a strong looking watch with a aviator history that is very appealing. I love mine.

hothothaven · 5 April 2018, 10:14 PM

I gotta say tho, Bezos' Nardin is pretty beautiful watch. Nardin does make some of the best looking watches out there

Chiboy · 5 April 2018, 10:32 PM

I was really surprised that the CEO of Mercedes wasn't wearing an ALS, or at least some other German watch.

It might be interesting to read an article on what these CEOs wear on the weekends at dinner parties in the Hamptons. Might be a whole 'nother story. I mean, who thought the CEO of Wal-Mart would wear a watch that 90% of his employees couldn't afford?

beshannon · 5 April 2018, 10:36 PM

Nothing like listing several former and failed CEO's in a pointless article designed for click bait

TarponGeorge · 5 April 2018, 10:37 PM

That’s a beautiful two-tone Dayjust. And for just $3500 brand new, what a steal!

GreatScott · 5 April 2018, 10:53 PM

Like any of them are going to be honest and tell anyone about their total collection, that would just make them an even bigger target for trolls and thieves. This is just another meangless list.

TimeToWatch · 5 April 2018, 10:56 PM

wow...terrible taste in watches. Money can’t buy taste

I've heard of sl*t shaming, but now watch shaming? Seems the internet is being used more and more just to attack.

Danny83 · 5 April 2018, 11:11 PM

Cool

kaien · 5 April 2018, 11:14 PM

I'm guessing some of these guys have more than one watch, too...

TimeToWatch · 5 April 2018, 11:16 PM

Honestly why would these guys be concerned with the perception of a watch, when their exorbitant incomes are publicly avilable for all to see? I’d be more concerned with that being publicized than the off chance of someone noticing a watch on my wrist which even at 10-20k represents a fraction of a percent of my annual income.

jps3b · 6 April 2018, 07:03 AM

If I was one of these dudes, I’d be wearing this!
