Experts say Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's watch shouts
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerbeg’s choice to wear theultra-rare F.P. Journe Chronomètre Bleu Byblos wrist watch signals towards the departure of his minimalist personal style, which was once defined by grey T-shirts and fitness bands. Experts suggest that the tech CEO is now embracing a more curated, high-fashion image.
Eugene Tutunikov, CEO of SwissWatchExpo told Business Insider, "It's one of those pieces that quietly signals, 'I know what I'm wearing,' without shouting it.”
Experts describe the Byblos as a “thinking man’s grail”—a subtle but powerful nod to horological sophistication . Another expert, Paul Altieri of Bob's Watches told BI, “F.P. Journe is one of the most respected independent watchmakers, celebrated for its superb finishing, innovation, and incredibly limited runs.”
When Mark Zuckerberg, wife Priscilla Chan got impressed by Anant Ambani’s watchSeveral tech moguls, including Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg attended pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani, son of Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, and Radhika Merchant, industrialist Viren Merchant's daughter earlier this year.
At that time a video went viral which showed Mark and Priscilla having a conversation with Anant Ambani. It shows the group talking about having some free time and the couple wanting to look around. About halfway into the video, Chan takes notice of Anant’s wristwatch.
“That is cool,” says Priscilla Chan. Zuckerberg agrees, saying “I know. I told him already.”
She then asks Anant, “Who makes that?”
“Richard Mille,” Anant Ambani replies.
“You know, I never really wanted to get a watch. But…” Mark said while showing his appreciation for the watch. “I might want that,” Priscilla added.
