Why Celebrities Go For Luxury Watches

  • Posted on April 9, 2010 at 2:18 am

Luxury watches are ranked at the top of the holiday presents in the realm of the rich and famous. It has become a common practice for the wealthy to present each other with luxury watch during any stage of their relationship even the first dating.
Obviously, spending a huge fortunate on a splendid watch to gift a new girlfriend or boyfriend is a common practice among celebrities in Hollywood. Ironically, it seems that celebrities are competing to see whose purchase is more expensive when rich people date other rich people. For instance, John Mayer seems to be the king of buying Rolex watches for his girlfriends, and if I’m not mistaken, the same Rolex. He bought both Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Aniston gold Rolex watches. Mayer gave Jessica Simpson a Rolex Datejust Jubilee Men’s Watch with an Oyster Bracelet. When he dated Jennifer (the entire relationship lasted only four months!) he gave her a Ladies Oyster Datejust with black face and pink hour markers. The one girlfriend who came previous to these two but who walked with nothing was Cameron Diaz.
As a matter of fact, a Rolex or any type of luxury watch is just a piece of cake for Cameron. However, she seems to have more fondness for Cartier watches. She has been seen wearing a Cartier Tank Louis, a Cartier Tank Chinoise, and a Cartier Roadster, among other vintage Cartier watches.
A great number of hot celebrities such as Aniston would never have to sell her luxury watch due to her great cash flow. Nonetheless, for stars like Jessica Simpson whose career is struggling, may want to think about parting with the Rolex from Mayer; she could probably get more for it being that Mayer gave it to her.
Rolex is always the first choice for celebrities even though other types of watches such as Omega, Cartier, Tag Heuer are usually bought and worn by celebrities.
