Brooklyn-born entrepreneur Jay-Z loves being first and has achieved another first. The “In My Lifetime” rapper reportedly owns an exclusive $340,000 Bugatti Tourbillon watch designed by celebrity jeweler Jacob Arabo.
Arabo posted a video of Jay-Z wearing the timepiece on his wrist during Fanatics Fest in New York City over the weekend (August 16-18).
“My dear friend @jayz was the first to own a five-time zone watch. Twenty-five years later, he is the first to own a Bugatti tourbillon.”
The jewelry designer, who has created custom pieces for many hip-hop recording artists and other celebrities over the years, gave a close-up look at the expensive timepiece on his Jacobandco Instagram page. The site claims that it reflects “the architecture of the Bugatti super sports car.”
“The Bugatti Tourbillon by Jacob & Co. takes high-performance timekeeping to a new level. Reflecting the architecture of the Bugatti super sports car, this watch is a complex fusion of form and function, from the front grille-shaped case to the automatic movement. The ultimate combination of automotive and watchmaking excellence.”
