Really interesting article about the watches of a few top bosses. Least surprising is that Tim Cook wears an Apple watch. I'm a bit disappointed that the president of Toyota doesn't wear a seiko!

This is really interesting thanks. I'd expect someone high up in a Japanese company to wear something ultra-conservative, so I wasn't really surprised he's reported as wearing a PP Calatrava. I was more surprised by the number of Breitlings in there.Originally Posted by martinupnorth
Also surprised at the abundance of Breitlings.
That PP Calatrava is a lovely classy looking thing.

This one for me.
Even bankers have taste.
Is it true that Mickey Mouse wears a Donald Trump watch?
Jeff Bezos - net worth 127 BILLION!!!
Jeff Weiner obviously has the best taste of them all with this AP Royal Oak
Interesting to see two Chopard Mille Miglia in the list, a rare bird indeed.
I do like the one on the rubber strap.
That one is truly gorgeous; my top pick too.This one for me.
Even bankers have taste.
For me the stand out pieces are the Ulysse Nardin and thr AP Royal Oak.
I was somewhat surprised to not see any very high end watches, but then again none of them are film stars or footballers or rappers.
Surprised to see Breitling having such a strong showing. The JLC and PP smash it out the park, as you would expect.

May not be their only watch
About the same as Hungary's GDP.
I'd love to know what DT wears. Whatever it is will be very, very gold!Is it true that Mickey Mouse wears a Donald Trump watch?

Edit: seems a bit of a mystery apart from his own (very gold) brand: https://www.timepiecechronicle.com/f...f-donald-trump

The JLC was lovely but surprised how much I liked the Chopard Mille Chrono. Best bought 2nd hand though as they do take a beating on the depreciation
Interesting article, thanks OP.
My favourites are the Chopard Millie Miglia and the Breitling Colt
Wow, that is really interesting article :)
Is that datejust really only $3500 thought they cost a lot more even second hand?
Nice post, thanks for sharing OP.
Quite cool to see the Citizen in this list.
Interesting read thanks for sharing. Some Lovely pieces. But it goes to show money doesn’t always breed good taste.

What's with all the breitlings

I can't see the article, but I assume that many of the watches mentioned in this thread won't be personally purchased: they'll be corporate gifts, albeit of a very nice standard.

Jim.
I wonder if any of these CEOs have large collections. I know Alan Sugar has a fair few Rolex watches.
I think people need to realise that Rolex is a bit passe nowadays (watch any of the reality shows and everyone has or wants one), perhaps Breitling is considered a bit left field and individual in C level circles.

PS or maybe they got a discount :)

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I was surprised by some of the inelegance; it would be interesting to see how a more European list would compare.
I could be wrong, but some of these have been misrepresented or even downright wrong.
Jeffrey Immelt is wearing a Breitling Chronospace M78365, the quartz model in pvd, so why show a picture of an automatic chrono?
Akio Toyoda is not wearing a Patek Philippe Calatrava 5119G. This model has Roman numerals and is steel, Toyoda is wearing a gold watch with Arabic numerals.
Dara Khosrowshahi is said to be wearing a Chopard Mille Miglia 16/8997, a sort of sport style 3 hander, yet the watch he is wearing has round chronograph pushers.
There are a couple of other misrepresentations like colour etc, have fun spotting them.
Just seems like a nice, big, fat advert for Crown & Caliber used watches to me.
Or am I just jaded?
