While pursuing law at Milan’s Bocconi University in 2009, Chiara Ferragni started her website, The Blonde Salad. The blog’s original “mixed salad” of passions, which covered traveling, beauty, and cuisines, has now narrowed to just fashion.

The Blonde Salad highlights her partnerships with a great list of fashion labels, like Dior, Ermenegildo Zegna, Louis Vuitton, Mango, and Benetton, among other stylistic decisions and sources of inspiration. She was also named the face of Amazon Fashion’s Spring 2016 collection and its European ambassador. Furthermore, Ferragni assumed leadership of her personal TBS Crew in 2017 when she was appointed president and CEO.

The Chiara Ferragni Line, which bears Ferragni’s moniker, debuted in 2013 as a footwear collection alongside Luisa Via Roma. With 4 flagship locations and more than 300 retailer outlets, it has now grown into the apparel, accessories, and kid’s wear sectors.

In addition to Chiara’s achievements, she is also a watch enthusiast and collector. She thus owns a collection of valuable watches from renowned brands.

3. Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary

Apart from Hublot watches, Chiara also owns the Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary.

OMEGA created this Omega Speedmaster 50th Anniversary, which is restricted to just 1,014 copies. It was produced to commemorate Apollo 11 landing on the moon and the golden anniversary of the timepiece given to astronauts in 1969.

This anniversary watch has been crafted from 18K MoonshineTM gold. A vertically polished step dial with facetted onyx hourly markings is also made of 18K MoonshineTM gold. A few burgundy accents have been included, such as the ceramic bezel band, the marks on the caseback, and the mechanism, which were all influenced by the watch from 1969.

An incomplete global map of America plus a conical lunar meteorite inset, which depicts the earth’s and moon’s real sizes, are inlaid on the beautiful internal caseback ring. It is also made of 18K MoonshineTM gold and has been darkened.

Additionally, this Speedmaster is powered by the manually wound OMEGA Master Chronometer Calibre 3861, a new era of hand-wound Chrono movement. It is still a cam-operated Chrono with a similar design as 1861, but it now has a coaxial escapement with a silicon Si14 balancing spring.

4. Rolex GMT Master II ”Root Beer”

Rolex GMT Master II” Root Beer” is a worldwide renowned timepiece that many celebrities, including Chiara Ferragni, own. This watch was unveiled by Rolex at Baselworld 2018 and is simply amazing.

The Cerachrom bezel on this version is brown and black, while the dial is black. The GMT-Master, which was created to concurrently display the time in 2 distinct time zones on international flights, is now renowned for its durability and adaptable design.

Furthermore, the Rolex GMT Master II” Root Beer” has classic hour, minute, and seconds indicators. This is in addition to an arrow-tipped hand that rotates around the dial once in 24 hours, as well as a bidirectional rotational 24-hour graded bezel. The 24-hour marker’s unique color also indicates the “home” referencing time in the first time zone, which is shown by graduations on the bezel.

Owing to an innovative system powered by the wound crown, the traveler’s local time is simply set by “hopping” from hour to hour. Moreover, the hour dial can be moved ahead or back separately from the minute and seconds indicators. Travelers can do this without impacting the accuracy of their keeping time and adjust to their destination time zone.

The innovative Rolex GMT Master II” Root Beer” now benefits from an increased 72-hour power reserve while still maintaining all the functions of the original GMT line. This is because of the addition of a revolutionary, more effective caliber 3285 movement.

5. Rolex Datejust with an extremely rare ‘Mickey Mouse’ dial

This Italian fashion blogger and businesswoman has also been seen on certain instances wearing a 36mm Rolex Datejust featuring a very rare ‘Mickey Mouse’ dial.

According to research, Rolex entered a partnership with Disney from the early 1980s to the rest of the 1960s and 1970s. There appear to have been a number of Rolex timepieces featuring Mickey on the dial during that period. Besides, they seem to be a tribute to the iconic Ingersoll Mickey Mouse dials in every way.

Undeniably, this could be why Mickey’s indexes seem strange. His hands served as the clock hands for the first Mickey Mouse timepieces. Rolex never seemed to be interested in doing that. Therefore, they utilized their typical hour markings and hands with a high-quality “tribute dial” that was intended to evoke memories of the first Mickey Mouse pieces.

These are a few pretty unique and uncommon Rolex timepieces that defy the contemporary stuffiness of the premium Swiss watch business. This is whether it’s for nostalgic reasons or just as fascinating collector’s goods.

This dial symbolizes the maybe most enduring collaboration between massmedia and horology since there have been Rolex dials with the popular cartoon character since the 30s.

6. Bulgari Serpenti Jewelry watch in 18k white gold

The Bulgari Serpenti Jewelry watch is another valuable timepiece in Chiara’s collection.

Greek goldsmith Sotirio Bulgari established his company in Italy in 1884, and the name BVLGARI stands for magnificent jewels and unmatched artistry. Roman influences can be found in items drawn from the city’s design, art, and historical mosaics.

For more than 70 years, Serpenti has demonstrated its capacity to assume countless shapes by being reborn repeatedly. In its most recent iterations, the snake’s iconic sinuosity combines ultra-modern geometrical scales encrusted with sparkling diamonds.

This Bulgari Serpenti watch has a 26 mm casing diameter with an 18k white golden case featuring 6 set diamonds. Hence, the total carat weight is 0.45. It also measures 8.25 in thickness with a clear sapphire crystal.

7. Panthère de Cartier

Panthère de Cartier is a distinctive 22mm women’s watch that has been seen severally on Chiara’s wrist. It comes in an 18k yellow gold hue and features a silver dial and diamond bezel.

This Panthère de Cartier Collection, which was hugely popular during the 1980s and 1990s, was the label’s 2018 standout flagship product. During the SIHH expo, the storied model series was reintroduced to the eyes of watch fans with a refreshed face. As a result, it received great praise for its extensive selection of alternatives ranging from casing materials to various sizes.

The concept of rebirth is identical to the original. The features include square casing and screws on the bezel, Roman numbers, railroad track indicator, and a little Cartier emblem etched in the X digit to differentiate it from fakes. Just the bracelet’s design, which is more flexible, is different. Each quartz movement maintains the watch’s beautiful thinness and authenticity to the initial setup, which was created at the peak of the quartz revolution.
