Kanye West's Diamond Watch Has A Familiar Face
Kanye West's real diamond teeth are going to be hard for him to top in the bling department, but (lucky for us) that doesn't mean the controversial rap artist won't give it a go.
The latest carat-heavy Kanye creation to make news is a custom-made diamond Tiret watch that took over 5 months to make. Why is this particular ticker so worthy of our Kanye?
Perhaps it's the 8 carats of yellow, black, brown and white diamonds that make it sparkle? Or maybe the dial of the watch, itself, which is made of gleaming gold-colored mother-of-pearl? Or the fact that hot hip-hop entrepreneur, Damon Dash's, company was in charge of the design?
No. The best part of West's latest jewelry jones is that the watch face IS his own face. Yes, jewelry hounds, the 8-carats of diamonds are arranged in the shape of his own glasses-clad countenance.
And I was worried about his self esteem...
Apparently Kanye isn't the only artist with confidence issues. In a 'my watch face is blingier than your watch face' move, the mighty Usher commissed Dash to make a timepiece with a price tag of $250,000.
West's next venture is the highly anticipated (and aptly named) 'Watch the Throne,' a collaborative album with Jay-Z set to drop this week - or March 1st.
