Here Are The Watches Wall Street's Biggest Players Wear
Masters of the Universe aren't known for having anything resembling a jewelry collection except for one item - a watch. They're collectible, gorgeous and at times incredibly expensive pieces that can be handed down from generation to generation
Exactly the type of thing a titan of any industry would want.
We've put together a list and commentary about the wristwatches worn by some of Wall Street's most public executives.
As expected, a couple of the watches are flashy. A few of them are really, really cheap by Wall Street standards. And one prominent banker doesn't even wear a watch. Ever.

"I received in the mail a wristwatch from a devoted shareholder in California. On the dial were printed our Vanguard logo, my name, and a phrase that was an indication I was still looking out for our shareholders: "Still on Watch." It was also an outrageous pun: "Still on Watch." Confident that it would be my rabbit's foot, I put the watch on my wrist, where, having proved itself, it remains to this day. (Yes, I knew about the $50 limit on gifts. So I checked the catalog for the price. It was $14. Talk about value!)," he wrote.

According to the Santa Monica Police Department report, the watches that were stolen included a Glashutte, Breitling, A. Lange & Sohne, TAG Heuer and a Patek Philippe. We couldn't nail down prices for these specific models, but every one can run in the tens of thousands of dollars or more.
