Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Floyd Mayweather’s insane watch collection, and I got curious. I mean, the guy’s known for his flashiness, so I figured his watches would be something else. I decided to dig in and see what this collection was all about.
First, I scrolled through a bunch of articles and forums. Just getting a general feel for what people were saying. You know, the usual “OMG” and “so jealous” comments, but also some real watch nerds breaking down the specifics.
Then, I started making a list. Yeah, a good old-fashioned list. I wanted to keep track of all the different brands and models I was seeing mentioned repeatedly. It’s mostly Jacobs & Co. and Hublot, I see more and more in different sources.
My Rough List of Mayweather’s Watches
- Jacob & Co. Billionaire III: I mean, just the name…this thing is iced out, covered in diamonds. They are saying it cost $18 Million.
- Lots of Hublots: He seems to really dig Hublot. Big Bangs, King Powers, all sorts of limited editions. It’s hard to keep track of them all, to be honest.
- Some Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks: Classics. You can’t have a serious collection without some Royal Oaks, and of course, his are probably all custom and diamond-encrusted.
- A Few Richard Milles: These are super high-end, really technical-looking watches. The kind of thing you wear when you want people to know you know about watches.
- Rolex: Here and there, there are Rolex.
Then I spent way too long looking at close-up pictures and videos. Zooming in on the details, trying to see the craftsmanship, the tiny screws, the way the light hits the diamonds (so many diamonds!).
After a while, my eyes started to glaze over. It’s a lot of bling. But I gotta admit, even if it’s not my personal style, the sheer audacity of it is kind of impressive. The man clearly enjoys his money, and he’s not shy about showing it off. I finished my deep dive feeling a mix of awe and “wow, that’s a bit much.” But hey, to each their own, right?
