Tiret Presents Personalized Watches For Kanye West and Usher
Article written by: Asmara Wreksono
People used to say that you know you�ve made a huge impact on the world when your name is written in history. Sorry, but it�s so 2008. Apparently in 2011, being �written� is not enough, as you�re nobody until your face is adorned with diamonds and slabbed into a luxurious gold watch. Take Kanye West for instance, who got his face drawn on a gold watch (read: 18k yellow gold, that is).
The watch was made by Tiret, a New York-based
jeweler and watchmaker. Kanye�s watch was personally designed for the rapper, it comes with a gold bracelet or reptile strap. The dial is in gold toned mother-of-pearl decorated with large diamonds. With a total of 8 carats of stones, the retail price of Kanye�s watch is rumored to be $180,000.
Tiret also made a luxury watch for Usher in December 2010 with a personalized design as well. The Usher watch has an oblong oval-shaped case, with a diamond-clad Usher face on the dial. The watch has two Swiss ETA chronograph quartz movements, which technically enables the watch to tell the time in two places. Usher�s watch has almost 10 carats of diamonds and 1106 stones all over the watch. It has attracted attention in a diamond exhibit at the Natural History Museum in London and definitely Usher�s, who paid $250,000 to add it in his personal collection.
Seeing that rappers have gone for smaller chains in the past year, will huge diamond-clad watches be the new �dope� in hip hop? Better yet, will 2011 be the year of true �bling� revival? Share your thoughts!
