Whether you're a serious collector or just watch-curious, let’s take a peek at some of the most impressive watches worn by today’s most talked-about male celebrities.
Hollywood’s Hottest Watch Aficionados

LeBron James
LeBron’s love for Audemars Piguet is so strong he has a model named after him: the Royal Oak Offshore LeBron James Edition. He also owns the Tourbillon Offshore.
