Hillary Clinton Chanel J12
Hillary Clinton has always been one of the most elegant and stylish presences within the U.S political stage, but the most remarkable thing about her is that she has never loved showing off any designer tags. Probably, when the former First Lady and Secretary of State has been spotted wearing a white ceramic lady’s Chanel J12 diamond watch she managed to surprise everyone.
There is no doubt about it; the Chanel J12 is one of the most popular luxury women watches on the globe. This chic white timepiece crafted from high quality ceramic and adorned with diamonds is a true fashion icon. There are many versions of the Chanel J12, some more extravagant than others, but the one worn by Hillary Clinton exudes simplicity and refinement due to its clean design and sophisticated diamonds decoration. The first time when she was seen publicly with the aforementioned timepiece was at a press conference with Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister.
Even though the Chanel J12 has a very complex design, Hillary Clinton managed to accessorize it very nicely with pearl earrings. She was completely focused on creating a beautiful white shine to go with her stylish outfit. She was super chic in a black and turquoise boucle jacket complemented by plain black pants. The black and white combo was a very sophisticated fashion choice, one that evoked the defining attributes of the iconic Chanel style.
It is a well-known fact that her husband Bill Clinton is a huge watch enthusiast and I think it is safe to assume that he initiated Hillary into the world of luxury timepieces. And this was all it took for the former First Lady and Secretary of State to start trying on a primmer, high society look. She left behind her usual bohemian style represented by loose, colorful jackets and original jewelry and replaced it with neutral tailored pieces perfected by her chunky Chanel J12.
There really is no big secret; U.S. celebrities love wearing a Chanel J12 watch. From top models to famous actresses, everyone has at least one Chanel J12 in their collection. Stars like Scarlett Johansson, Kiera Knightley, Heidi Montag, Anna Kournikova, Mila Kunis, Katherine Heigl and Nikki Minaj have one thing in common- a spectacular Chanel J12. Even though the famous French fashion house has created many watch designs, the J12 is by far the most popular one. It has been released at the end of the 90’s and it was at that time the first unisex model created by Chanel.
The secret of its success was the smart mix of discrete feminine details with an utterly masculine design. The Chanel J12 is available in black, pink, white and silver and it features a quartz movement. The case measures 28 mm, 38 mm, 41 mm or 42 mm, and it is made from a very glossy ceramic glass decorated with semi-precious stones and real diamonds.
Jay-Z Hublot Big Bang
One of the most extravagant and expensive watches ever created was unveiled by Hublot. This completely diamonds-covered Big Bang model was priced at $5 million and it is a timepiece fitted for wealthy people with a fine taste for ‘bling’. The happy owner of this one-of-a-kind watch is Jay-Z. The rapper received this exclusivist Hublot Big Bang when he turned 43 years old from his beautiful and talented wife, Beyonce.
The watch is without a doubt the most expensive watch ever produced and no matter how rich you are, it just seems like a bit over the top to spend 5 million dollars on a timepiece. But when you’re Beyonce and you have a $300 million net worth, I guess that spending 5 million for your hubby’s birthday gift is not that impressive. The couple is famous for their extravagant tastes in jewelry, clothing, cars and lifestyle. Their previous gifts are even more expensive and outrageous than the diamonds Hublot Big Bang. A private island in Florida, a Bombardier Challenger 850 private jet and a Grand Veyron Sport are just a few of them.
Everyone knows that Jay-Z is a huge watches collector. He always mentions expensive brands in his songs and wears luxury timepieces on his wrist when he goes out. For a charity campaign Audemars Piguet has designed a special edition Royal Oak dedicated to Jay-Z. Recently, the celebrity has changed his brands preferences from Audemars Piguet to Hublot. Because he was seen wearing numerous Big Bang model, the chairman of Hublot invited the singer to visit their Switzerland based factory. Of course, this honor was rewarded by Jay-Z as he mentioned the Hublot name in his music video “Otis”. And there’s more. Jay-Z also has a multi-media magazine Life+Times where he posted an exclusive video of Hublot and Chairman Jean-Claude Biver.
The $5 million Hublot Big Bang is part of a limited edition collection. For each of the last few years, Hublot has manufactured one extremely expensive diamonds edition Big Bang model. The collection was named One Million Dollar Big Bang and the one owned by Jay-Z is currently the most expensive one. The watch is very opulent and pretentious as it is fully covered by diamonds. The dial, the bezel, the case, the winding crown and the bracelet are adorned with perfectly shaped and sized diamonds. The timepiece also has a very beautiful functional detail- the tourbillon window that allows you to see the inside automatic movement. This part enchants even the most pretentious watch collector. It is a nice aesthetic and engineering touch.
Believe it or not, it took Hublot 14 months of work to find, cut and fit the 1282 diamonds used on this Big Bang model. 12 diamond cutters, 5 jewelry setters and a master cutter with 40 years of experience worked around the clock to make this $5 million watch perfect.
Naturally, Jay-Z wears this very expensive and extravagant Hublot Big Bang only at private events where he can ensure the highest level of security for his one of a kind watch. It is the bling jewelry that only a star of Jay-Z’s caliber could wear with style and distinction.
Andy Roddick’s Gold Rolex Daytona
Had cuteness of the player been important in tennis, Andy Roddick would have definitely won the Wimbledon at least once. Had choice of watch been relevant, Andy Roddick would have won at least two consecutive Wimbledon tournaments. Sporting a Rolex Daytona on his hand with the Runners’ shield of Wimbledon, it is difficult to take your eyes off the gold and black Rolex Daytona watch.
It is the only watch in the Rolex stable that has a chronograph. This watches probably the only one in the world which does not look ostentatious despite the excessive use of gold. Apart from the face of the watch, which is black, each and every part of the watch is dipped in gold.
The watch has the hours, minutes and seconds hand along with three sub dials on the face embossed in two concentric golden circles. The combination of gold on black ensures proper contrast and the tennis player will never find it difficult to know what the time is.
The watch does not have a date view but that seems irrelevant considering the classy finish of the watch. The metal strap is strong enough to withstand rough and tough usage as is evident from the fact that Andy Roddick chose to wear this watch in the final; where he was going bang bang at full speed at the tennis ball.
The best thing about the watch is that it is suitable for formal as well as casual occasions. Despite the fact that Andy Roddick is dressed in a T shirt and shorts, the watch seems particularly apt for the occasion.
On the right hand side of the face of the watch is the trademark crown of the watch with the Rolex crown embossed on it. It is flanked by two push buttons which operate the chronograph.
Dick Cheney Rolex Day-Date
One of the most important and famous models in Rolex’s history is the Rolex Day-Date. Its fame is an inevitable consequence of its popularity among U.S Presidents and international statesmen; hence its nickname – Rolex President. The first U.S. ruler that wore this model was President Dwight Eisenhower, but many others showed the same appreciation for this distinctive Rolex design.
Besides the iconic nickname, the Rolex Day-Date also has a very rich tradition. Rolex started its celebrity-based advertising campaign early by giving its 1000th Day-Date piece to Winston Churchill and the 1500th one to Dwight Eisenhower. It’s a well-known fact that there is no other watch on this planet as influential and affluent as the Rolex President.
One of the most recent personalities that have developed a fine taste for Rolex Day-Date watches is Dick Cheney. Even though there have been countless U.S. Presidents who have worn Rolex Day-Date watches over the history, Dick Cheney appears to be the first U.S Vice President to sport this design during his two terms in the office. And his choice wasn’t a very discrete one. The statesman decided to go big with a considerably opulent Yellow Gold case Rolex Day-Date with a Champagne gold dial. Unfortunately, this style choice wasn’t a very lucky one for Dick Cheney as his political career didn’t go further than the role of Vice President.
But honestly, who could blame U.S Vice President Dick Cheney for preferring a Rolex Day-Date over any other timepiece on the planet? After all, the Rolex Day-Date was the first watch to offer both the day and date function. And let’s not forget the fact that it has a spectacular design perfected by the finest metals around. Rolex offers the President line in three versions- platinum, yellow gold and white gold, but the yellow gold one is by far the most luxurious one. The inside of the Day-Date impresses as much as the outside. The watch has an outstanding 31 jewels self-winding mechanical movement and the Rolex Quickset feature. It is a highly accurate time keeping device. And if Dick Cheney is passionate about water sports then he is certainly very thrilled about the watch’s 100 meters water resistance.
Many people are simply fascinated by the looks, prestige and reputation of the Rolex Day-Date, but this is definitely not a watch for the masses. It is a very expensive and rare timepiece designed to accompany Presidents and statesmen on their way to success. It is a watch that had endured the most critical changes in history with grace and sophistication. U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney is one of the lucky personalities who had the chance of wearing this masterpiece, a perennial watch that has no limits when it comes to style and luxury.

So what does the ad campaign for this watch tell us? This watch is definitely fit for a real man with a powerful figure. It has 48mm and it is made with titanium, ceramic crowns and rubber. It has a very smooth feel and a great design. This is just the low cost model because when it comes to the extravagant edition, the creators went really far.

If you are wondering about its durability and the mechanism, you should know that the crown is made with 14 components and the whole watch is made from DLC, titanium, rubber, and ceramics – all of these are probably the most durable things on Earth, just like this watch. It also features a Valjous 7750 automatic mechanical movement that works perfectly. What makes this watch really unique is the fact that it contains so many high end pieces without being a show off of opulence like other brands on the market from the same category.
