- Mark Zuckerberg wore one of the rarest watches in the world, worth $900,000, while announcing the end of fact-checking at Meta (newsbreak.com)
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has drawn attention for wearing a $900,000 Greubel Forsey Hand Made 1 watch in a video announcement. The watch is a rare and exclusive timepiece, with only two or three made each year due to its intricate construction.
Zuckerberg’s choice of watch aligns with his recent shift towards a stylish image. However, some have criticized the timing of his luxury watch display, which coincided with an announcement about reducing content moderation on Meta platforms.
The Hand Made 1 is considered a wearable art piece by experts due to its intricate design and craftsmanship. Its rarity and complexity contribute to its astronomical price tag. The watch’s exclusivity is further enhanced by the company’s decision to likely produce only one piece in 2025.
Despite the watch’s opulent nature, Zuckerberg’s net worth of $218 billion makes its cost relatively insignificant. Luxury watches are often seen as status symbols for the wealthy and investments.
