Time is money for Wall Street’s most powerful

The masters of the Wall Street value one piece o f jewellery above all else — a watch. They are collectible, gorgeous and at times, incredibly expensive pieces that can be handed down from generation to generation. Here’s a list on the wristwatches worn by some of Wall Street’s most public executives. A couple of them are flashy while a few are really cheap by Wall Street standards. And one prominent banker doesn’t even wear a watch. Ever.

Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway Buffett, the ‘Oracle of Omaha’, wears a gold Rolex Day-Date.

Stephen Schwarzman Blackstone Group Billionaire private equity chief Stephen Schwarzman wears a Swatch. He also uses a flip phone.

James Gorman Morgan Stanley Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman wears what appears to be a stainless steel Rolex Daytona, according to Ben Clymer, the founder of watch site Hodinkee.

Tom Steyer Farallon Capital (retired) Billionaire retired hedge fund manager, Tom Steyer, wears a sporty Ironman watch.

Lynn Tilton Patriarch Partners Private equity chief of Patriarch Partners, Lynn Tilton wears a massive bejewelled timepiece by Jacob the Jeweler. It definitely fits her “dust to diamonds” persona. In August 2014, she received a personalised Rolex timepiece along with a pretty big tennis award.

Lloyd Blankfein Goldman Sachs Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein flaunts a Swatch with what appears to be a clear plastic band. Swatch’s tend to range between $50 to $245. It’s also not exactly the sort of timepiece you’d expect a chief executive of a Wall Street investment bank to wear.

Jack Bogle founder of the Vanguard Group Investing legend Jack Bogle, the founder of the Vanguard Group, wears a $14 wristwatch he received from a shareholder. “I received in the mail a wristwatch from a devoted shareholder in California. On the dial were printed our Vanguard logo, my name, and a phrase that was an indication I was still looking out for our shareholders: ‘Still on Watch,’ he wrote.”

Jamie Dimon JPMorgan Chase JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon doesn’t wear a watch. Ever. Apparently, he doesn’t care for jewellery.
