Just a few days ago, Drake flexed on us with his massive Toronto Raptors championship ring. Now, he's back to make us feel poor by showing off his new $620,000 Jacob & Co. watch that has been attracting much attention.
Drizzy first teased that this timepiece was on the horizon when he shared a photo a couple weeks back of his rendez-vous at Jacob & Co. The limited edition watch has made its big debut on his IG and people are dazzled by its imaginative design. Its face consists of a functioning roulette wheel, hence the model name of Astronomia Casino. As if doubling as a roulette wheel wasn't impressive enough, the watch has an arm with a diamond on it that turns over every 30 seconds to best display its 288 facets.
While you may have already seen this new addition to The 6 God's ever-expanding jewelry collection, he has advertised its features once again. Drake is using the watch to its full potential, entertaining dinner guests by placing friendly bets on his transportable gambling device. It's unclear whether the videos on Drake's Instagram Story were taken in his home, but if so, he has a massive kitchen island and multiple chefs preparing his meals. Would you expect anything less from a man with a $620,000 watch?
Drake Really Has A Casino On His Wrist
Drake’s latest addition to his ever-growing watch collection is Jacob & Co.’s Astronomia Casino which swaps a watch’s dial for a fully functioning mini-roulette table.
Rappers might often compare the value of their timepiece to a piece of real estate but Drake‘s latest addition to his watch collection shows that his flex his just different. You may have recalled a photo Drake shared to Instagram from his visit to Jacob & Co. alongside OVO Niko. He didn’t reveal what exactly he was up to but Drake’s jewelry collection isn’t basic by any means.
According to GQ, the rapper was rocking Jacob & Co. Astronomia Casino, a high-end watch that includes a fully functional roulette wheel. Now, by the time he shared pictures from his meeting with the jewelers, we should’ve known that he was about to show out. Jacob & Co. have innovated the world of timepieces that play the Godfather theme song and others that include a mock solar system. Drake’s Astronomia Casino that includes a “double-axis tourbillon, a magnesium lacquered globe and time display, all rotating around the dial in 10 minutes” and “underneath is the working roulette table with ceramic ball, while on top is the 1ct 288-facet Jacob-cut diamond, which turns on itself in 30 seconds,” per their Instagram page.
Drake’s watch collection has drawn a lot of attention from watch enthusiasts to your everyday Joe Schmo. During the NBA Finals, the rapper was seen rocking a $750K NSFW Richard Mille “69 Tourbillon Erotic” that included includes three lines that show different lustful phrases that might be deemed workplace harassment in any other setting. But Drake’s the Raptors’ Global Ambassador, he can do what he pleases.
Drake Rocks New "Icy Cross" He’s Always Dreamed Of Owning Despite Jewish Background
Drake adds yet another chain to his collection.
It looks like Drake is dipping his toe into a different faith with his latest shiny new purchase. The rapper shared a story on Instagram showing off his new chain designed by jeweller, Jacob & Co., thanking the company for making one of his "dreams come true." Drake, who is Jewish, claims he always wanted to rock an "icey cross" despite the Christian background of the famous symbol.
Drake is definitely no stranger to the chain game. Back in 2017, he copped a Stone Island-inspired chain designed by jeweller Ben Baller. The piece is modelled after the Italian brand's compass logo and has the words, "on tour," written on it. It also features Drake's 6 God logo on the back with the words, "BRINGING THAT CERTY," written above. A year later, the OVO founder debuted a "life size" owl chain, made of "over a kilo of gold & and over 100 carats of Asscher cut diamonds" and designed by famous celebrity jeweller Jason of Beverly Hills. Just last month, Drake commissioned Jason of Beverly Hills once again to create some similar pieces for himself and his "Life Is Good" and "Desires" collaborator Future, to kick off what many believe to be the second-coming of their What A Time To Be Alive era. That same week, it was reported that Drake had also dropped a cool $1 million on a 100-carat, heart-shaped diamond chain by Gemma Fine Jewelry. If ever there was any doubt that this man's got some extra cash lying around, he's ensured that we know just how good life is for him.
