"Kevin O'Leary Flaunts Expensive Timepieces: Investor Rockets Through Over $900,000 in Watches per Two Days, Layering Six Timepieces Daily"
In a recent interview with Brew Markets, business magnate and Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary gave a glimpse into his impressive watch collection. The collection, which boasts museum-grade pieces and more affordable models, is a testament to O'Leary's philosophy of balancing exclusivity with inclusivity in watch collecting.
The collection includes some of the rarest and most coveted timepieces in the horological world. Among these are a meteorite dial Rolex Daytona, a true one-of-a-kind vertical tourbillon by F.P.Journe, and a custom Tudor featuring the Shark Tank logo. These unique pieces, valued in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, make up O'Leary's "piece unique" collection, a term used to describe ultra-rare and highly exclusive watches.
However, O'Leary doesn't limit himself to these expensive pieces. He also wears more affordable watches, priced under $1,400, on his other wrist. This dual-wrist approach reflects his new philosophy of balance, aimed at inspiring young collectors and entrepreneurs by showing them they can enter the world of horology without needing million-dollar pieces.
One of the most interesting aspects of O'Leary's watch routine is his practice of rotating multiple watches daily. He wears two watches in the morning, two at lunch, and two in the evening, cycling through a total of six watches. This extensive wardrobe change isn't just an indulgence for O'Leary; it's a ritual.
In the interview, O'Leary explained his reasoning for this practice and how he chooses which watch to wear on each side. He also revealed that one of his watches, a 1950s Patek Philippe, will appear in the upcoming movie Marty Supreme, in which O'Leary has a role.
The screen-worn Seiko, although modest in origin, could command $5,000-$10,000 due to its film role. The rare Patek 175th Anniversary World Timer is known to fetch over $125,000, while the one-of-a-kind Shark Tank Tudor brings an estimated $20,000-$40,000. The experimental ceramic and carbon Tudors in O'Leary's collection, while more accessible, still contribute another $10,000-$20,000, depending on edition and rarity.
The meteorite Rolex Daytona in O'Leary's collection adds another $100,000 or more in value. O'Leary's unique vertical tourbillon, featuring a red "K" at the 12, is a true one-of-one creation, estimated conservatively at over $500,000.
In total, the watches Kevin O'Leary wears daily are valued at close to $1 million. The watches he showcased in his Brew Markets interview represent some of the rarest and most coveted timepieces in the horological world, with a combined estimated value between $659,000 and $1.2 million.

His watch collection, ranging from museum-grade pieces like the meteorite dial Rolex Daytona and the unique vertical tourbillon by F.P.Journe to more accessible brands such as Seiko, covers various price points in personal-finance, catering to both high-end collectors and those starting their luxury lifestyle journey in fashion-and-beauty, including personal-finance.
In his dual-wrist approach, Kevin O'Leary balances the value of his extremely rare and expensive watches, like the one-of-a-kind Shark Tank Tudor estimated at around $20,000-$40,000, with more modestly priced pieces, demonstrating that one doesn't need millions to enter the world of horology and express their personal style in a lifestyle sense.
