12 Unbelievable Watches in Michael Jordan’s Collection


The greatest of all time is endowed with astonishing statistics. Six-time NBA champion. Six-time voted NBA Finals MVP. Five times voted NBA MVP. Fourteen-time NBA All-Star. And two retired number-23 jerseys from the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. Safe to say the man we call the GOAT really is the greatest of all time. But what you might not know is that Air Jordan is actually a pretty astute collector of some of the world’s top watches, with a portfolio that is varied, broad and full of surprises, even for His Airness.

It’s true, Jordan has always been an avid collector of the finer things in life. Just take a look at his ludicrously-sized home, emblazoned with a glittering, jewel-encrusted ’23’. When it comes to Michael Jordan’s watch collection, there is no exception. Glitzy and glamourous pieces highlight the portfolio, which has gained much attention of late. Earlier this week, ESPN debuted the open two episodes of the much-anticipated Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance. Littered with behind-the-scenes footage and never-before-broadcast interviews with His Airness and the rest of the star-studded 97-98 Chicago Bulls, The Last Dance has captured the imagination of sports fans across the globe. In fact, the docu-series has already claimed the title as ESPN’s most-watched of all time, apparently proving that Jordan is not only the GOAT but also the MWOAT.

One of the key takeaways throughout the documentary is just how expansive Michael Jordan’s watch collection really is. Pieces from some of the most iconic watchmakers in the world make regular appearances, in both archival footage and current. Viewers have been relentless asking what each watch is and from whence it came, so to help you make sense of Michael Jordan’s watch collection, we’ve collated the best of the bunch.

7. Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli – Automatic Skeleton

With a band made out of actually tyres from a Formula 1 car, the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pirelli is anything but conventional. This sentiment seems to go hand in hand with Air Jordan, seen here rocking the beast of a watch with one of the longest cigars I’ve ever seen!

To know, understand and collect high complicated pieces from Ulysse Nardin, one would normally have to be somewhat intertwined with the world of watchmaking. And Jordan so obviously was.

Michael Jordan Watch Collection - Cartier Ballon Bleu

11. Cartier Ballon Bleu

A not-so-obvious choice for Jordan is the Ballon Bleu from Cartier. A super subtle piece whose stature is by far one of the most low key of his known collection, this particular model is crafted in white gold with a diamond bezel. Funnily enough, the Ballon Bleu measures 42mm across, which is surprising considering how small it looks on his wrist!
