Tim Cook has an Apple Watch – which watch does Jeff Bezos wear?
- From a US$100 Swatch to a Rolex worth more than US$20,000, we take a look at the timepieces used by the world’s most powerful finance and business leaders
For many in the worlds of business and finance, the watch is the ultimate status symbol.
Junior bankers use their first bonus to buy a brand new Omega, executives compare notes on their latest Rolexes and Silicon Valley technology colleagues trade workout data with one another using their Apple Watches.
“A watch can say something without using words,” Hamilton Powell, CEO of Crown & Caliber, an online secondary market for luxury watches.
“It conveys style, achievement and can be the ultimate icebreaker.”

We asked the experts at Crown & Caliber to identify the watches of some of the key decision makers in these industries.
From a US$100 Swatch worn by one of Europe’s central bank chiefs, to the Wall Street titan sporting a US$20,000 Rolex, these are the watches worn by the most powerful people in business and finance.
