Some celebrities choose to wear gold or platinum watches, others dont wear watches at all. Placido Domingo, Leonardo diCaprio, Clive Owen, Queen Latifah, Jessica Alba, Sharon Stone, are just a few celebrities associated with certain watch brands.

Uma Thurman, Brad Pitt and Kate Winslet are other important ambassadors of famous watch houses. Another big watch company named a timepiece by the famous actress Sharon Stone; of course she is proud to wear her special edition Sharon Stone chronograph watch on different red carpets and shows she attends.

The famous actress and singer Jennifer Hudson wears a rose gold and diamond encrusted watch, and Queen Latifah is proud of her elegant diamond covered chronograph watch estimated at around fourteen thousand dollars.

For instance, the famous actress and singer Jennifer Hudson wears a rose gold and diamond encrusted watch, and Queen Latifah wears an elegant diamond covered cronograph watch which was estimated at around fourteen thousand dollars. It seems that earrings and statement necklaces are not enough; watches are also important accessories that embellish celebrities outfits.

Many celebrities wear watches just like the rest of us; if some of them are modest, some are very expensive.

Even if we are going through economically unstable times, expensive watches sell. Its known that celebrities are into luxury watches. The famous soul artist Usher is the owner of a 1.5 million watch collection of 40 pieces from various famous watch brands. The R&B artist admits to being fascinated by precious timepieces, although he never thought of collecting them in order to show off. He started collecting watches in 1997 when he received the first diamond watch from a friend. Today, he has 40 exquisite pieces in his collection. Just like Usher, Tom Cruise and rapper Jay-Z wear a Swiss self winding watch with center seconds, 18 karat gold case, bezel, bracelet and dial set with diamonds.

Today, the quality of life is very important for people and that is why jewelry and accessories are chosen with great care even by normal people, not to mention celebrities who have their own stylists to take care of their image. Celebrities are a constant target for paparazzi, who are trying to take photos of them anytime, anywhere, so that they must look good all the time. Both their clothes and their accessories must follow the trends. As a watch defines the person who is wearing it, a beautiful timepiece is a must for famous people. Besides, if they can afford valuable timepieces telling them the right time and making them look fabulous, why not purchasing them?

For instance, the famous owner of Chelsea club Roman Abramovich is a well known collector of Swiss watches that are worth a fortune. If famous sportsmen and music stars prefer big sporty watches, politicians and movie stars choose to wear more elegant watch brands. The controversial Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi wears a very expensive timepiece from the worlds oldest watchmaker; in his case, wearing flashy watches is a sign of vanity. It is his way of telling the world he is powerful and he can afford anything he wants.

Ex president of The United States of America, Bill Clinton, is a huge fan of his exclusive brand watch, a piece that he wore on the cover of Time Magazine. But he can also wear unpretentious, modest timepieces. As for the unconventional pop star Lady Ga Ga, she is wearing the yellow watch that we can see in two of her videos. Nobody expected her to wear a traditional model; her watches totally match her original style.

If Jennifer Anniston and Jessica Simpson chose elegant, vintage watches, Kim Kardashian, the famous reality show star, has been seen wearing a sporty oversized watch. Victoria Beckham, well known for her elegance, has been seen wearing an exquisite luxury watch that goes well with her posh outfits. Famous women must match their accessories with their outfits: an inexpensive watch could never go well with a high-end brand bag for instance. The controversial Prime Minister of Italy Silvio Berlusconi wears a very expensive timepiece from the worlds oldest watchmaker. His tastes have always been extravagant; wearing luxury watches is perhaps his way of telling the world he is powerful and he can afford anything.

Every year, Swiss watches sales are estimated at around 8 billion$. In one year, more than 2 million watches with prices higher than 5000$ are sold and every hour watch manufacturers sell more than 30 million watches of 1000$. But you dont always have to dig a hole in your pocket to buy a quality, beautiful watch. A quality Japanese watch makes a good choice if you want to feel and look good anytime.

By choosing a Seiko Sportura watch you choose style and reliability.
