Dwayne Johnson made a notable debut at the Met Gala, showcasing an impressive fashion statement. The actor arrived in a striking Thom Browne ensemble, complemented by a remarkable $3.3 million Jacob & Co. Billionaire III watch. This timepiece, known for its extravagant design, stands out as one of the most expensive watches ever displayed at the prestigious event.
Dwayne Johnson’s Impressive Watch Choice
Johnson’s stylist, Ilaria Urbinati, explained the rationale behind his bold choice. The ensemble was designed to challenge traditional expectations regarding men’s fashion, particularly for someone with Johnson’s formidable physique. “It’s literally massive,” Urbinati remarked about the watch, explaining that its grand size suits Johnson perfectly.
Specifications of the Billionaire III
The Jacob & Co. Billionaire III is remarkable for several reasons:
- Size: The watch measures 54 millimeters, significantly larger than the average men’s timepiece, which typically ranges from 36 to 40mm.
- Movement: The movement itself measures 40.05mm, making it larger than most watches available today.
- Diamonds: It features 714 white diamonds, with the bracelet alone set with 504 of these precious stones.
- Total Carat Weight: The watch boasts an impressive total of 129.61 carats.
The Billionaire III has become a hallmark at the Met Gala. Its appearance has become an annual tradition, signifying luxury and exclusivity. In previous years, the watch has made appearances on the wrists of celebrities, including Usher and Maluma, who wore versions adorned with rubies and emeralds, respectively.
Jacob Arabo, the founder of Jacob & Co., emphasized the significance of the Billionaire III. He described it as “the crown jewel of Jacob & Co.,” a testament to craftsmanship aimed at individuals who demand excellence. Johnson’s choice to wear this masterpiece at such a prestigious event underscores its status as a symbol of prestige and opulence.
