Famous musicians and their watch collections.
One of the biggest collectors in the music world is Ed Sheeran - something he says was encouraged by his good friends Elton John and John Mayer. From a Richard Mille RM 38-01 Tourbillon G-Sensor Quartz TPT showpiece to a Patek Philippe 5130R, and Patek Philippe Nautilus 5726A, a Hublot Big Bang or two, the IWC Pilots watch mark XVIII and a fair few vintage classics in-between.
It's no secret Elton John’s watch collection is considered as one of the finest in the world. Brands such as Chopard, Franck Muller and of course Rolex feature heavily. He's been involved in numerous Limited Editions especially with Chopard.
John Mayer’s every growing watch collection includes Patek Philippe and Rolex. He has some rare and historically important Rolex watches. He has always said for him the passion is all about the exceptional mechanical works and skill.
Eric Clapton began seriously collecting watches sin the late 80’s. He famously gave up one addition for another - drugs to watches, -a much more worthy investment we think.
He likes to focus on rare timepieces from the likes of Rolex and Patek Philippe. He has auctioned various watches from his collection too - they have hit record sums reaching into millions. His supposed favourite watch? The legendary Albino Daytona {white dials, black tachymeter) of which there are less than five in existence.
Shawn Corey Carter - aka Jay-Z -has a long standing relationship with Audemars Piguet - including collaborating on the signature edition of the Royal Oak in 2006 a limited edition of just 100 pieces.. Apparently Beyonce purchased a $5million Hublot Big Bang for him one birthday, just a little something else for his collection.
John Lennon is another known fan of Patek Philppe - his Perpetual Calendar Ref. 2499 was supposedly a 40th birthday present from Yoko Ono, and features on one of the last known photos of him.
Did you know nobody knows where his exact watch is - should it turn up that would be one for the record prices at Auction!
Slash - he of the flaming guitars and top hat - has been seen many a time in his Hulk Submariner with the green dial. Absolutely suits him!
Frontman of Maroon 5 Adam Levine has an enviable Rolex collection, he is seen a variety of them; from a Paul Newman Daytona, a gold Day-Date and a vintage Submariner.
Its not just the male collectors either - take Rihanna, successful superstar, singer, businesswoman - and an avid watch collector. Her collection is made up of top timepieces by Chopard, Bvlgari, Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Piaget. She collaborated with Chopard in 2017 to create a jewellery collection, which also had a stunning diamond set watch.
