Mark Zuckerberg’s Rs 7.7 Crore Watch? How It Connected To Anant Ambani Luxury Style

Mark Zuckerberg recently dominated the headlines, but it was not only for revealing that Meta will make sweeping changes across its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. The Meta CEO revealed the company‘s decision to end third-party fact-checkers in a video on Facebook. But what attracted attention was the rare and costly watch he was wearing, estimated at nearly $900,000 or about ₹7.7 crore, a Greubel Forsey ‘Hand Made 1’ timepiece.

Social Media on Zuckerberg‘s Costly Watch

The expensive watch of the reclusive Facebook owner marked an eruption of social media comment. A venture capitalist noted, “Zuck was wearing a ~$1M watch in his community notes announcement video. Nothing says I understand the culture shift of the community more than a watch that costs more than most people’s houses.” A second user said, “Does anyone know why Mark Zuckerberg is sporting such a costly watch?

Some users drew comparisons to other tech moguls, with one commenting, “Mark Zuckerberg wants Facebook to focus on truth and facts—aiming to channel his inner Elon Musk, maybe? Bold move for someone wearing a watch that costs more than most people’s houses.” Others recalled Zuckerberg’s admiration for Anant Ambani’s expensive timepiece during his visit to India.

Zuckerberg’s Connection with Anant Ambani’s Watch

During the visit of Zuckerberg with his wife Priscilla Chan for the pre-wedding events of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant to India, one saw Zuckerberg viewing an extravagant Richard Mille piece belonging to Anant Ambani. A viral video from this wedding hinted that he had been showing interest in high-end luxury timepieces and is now in the collection itself.

The Rarity of Greubel Forsey ‘Hand Made 1′

The Greubel Forsey ‘Hand Made 1‘ is said to be a paragon of traditional craftsmanship, which Zuckerberg wore. The brand is exclusive, as only two or three of these watches are produced every year. Before this, Zuckerberg was also spotted wearing other luxury brands such as Patek Philippe and FP Journe.

Greubel Forsey CEO on Zuckerberg‘s Choice

Michel Nydegger, Greubel Forsey CEO, said it was his pleasure when he knew Zuckerberg had chosen one of those. “It is very pleasant to see someone who has played a pivotal role in shaping modern digital landscape and lifestyle show true appreciation for the most traditional approach to fine watchmaking today,” he says.

But with Zuckerberg‘s post, debates come in as to what new policy Meta introduces, for his rarely seen time piece has then become personification of his taste for exclusivity in luxury.
