Now Mayweather has gone several steps further by presenting to the world his $18 million Billionaire Watch from Jacob & Co.
An earlier version of the brand’s Millionnaire watch, it drips with an incredible 260 karats of emerald-cut diamonds.
The watch’s movement, meanwhile features an exclusive Jacob & Co. Skeleton Manual Winding Caliber JCAM09 with Tourbillon.
Mayweather captioned the short clip of the watch with this message: “This my new timepiece, it’s called “The Billionaire Watch”. If you don’t know about it, google Billionaire Watch. That’s $18 Million on the price tag.”
Established in 1986, Jacob & Co. has grown to become one of the world’s most renowned jewellers and watchmakers for men and women.
