Badshah's Rare Watch Collection and Passion
Badshah, a famous Indian rapper, loves watches.
He owns about 10 to 15 very rare and expensive watches, including the super-rare Rolex 'Barbie' Daytona, of which only 10 exist in the world.
He is not just interested in the price but in how they are made.
He once thought about moving to Switzerland to learn watchmaking because he admires the skill and time that goes into making these watches.
His favorite watch is the Greubel Forsey GMT Balancier Convexe, which has a tiny 3D Earth that spins in real-time and takes eight months to build.
This watch is very special to him because of its intricate details and the hard work that went into making it.
Badshah owns 10 to 15 rare and expensive watches, including the ultra-rare Rolex 'Barbie' Daytona, of which only 10 exist worldwide.
He admires the craftsmanship and man-hours that go into making mechanical watches, finding the art and skill behind them more exciting than the price tag.
Badshah considered leaving everything to go to Switzerland to learn watchmaking, inspired by the dedication of watchmakers who produce only 10 watches a year.
His favorite watch is the Greubel Forsey GMT Balancier Convexe, which features a 3D Earth model that spins in real-time and has nearly 700 parts, taking eight months to build.
The Greubel Forsey GMT Balancier Convexe is made of titanium, feels light, and is worth around Rs 3.89 crore, making it one of the fanciest watches in the world.
