The actor, known for starring in Black Panther, Creed and Sinners, has worn Piaget to the Oscars and a Rolex Day-Date in Italy
Michael B. Jordan, 38, is no stranger to transformation, whether he’s bulking up to play a champion boxer in Creed, tapping into his villainous side for Black Panther, or shape-shifting into a blues-loving vampire in this summer’s surprise hit, Sinners.
It’s almost hard to believe that the same actor who played the baby-faced kid-turned-drug-dealer Wallace in HBO’s The Wire has become one of Hollywood’s most bankable leading men.

But it’s not just his acting that’s evolved – his sense of style has, too. Once too broke to even think about luxury watches, Jordan told Robb Report, “It wasn’t really something I had been introduced to … but then over time, the more I had to dress up, it was something that I realised was a vital piece of fashion.”
Today, he’s a fully-fledged watch guy – “hooked”, as he puts it – on the one accessory he can’t live without. Here are a few stand-outs from Michael B. Jordan’s luxury watch collection.

Jordan has had a long-standing relationship with Piaget, even acting as an ambassador for the Swiss watchmaker for several years. If his red carpet appearances are anything to go by, he seems to have a soft spot for its Altiplano line, a collection known for its ultra-thin face and tailored aesthetic. At the 2016 Oscars, for instance, he wore the newly released Piaget Altiplano Chronograph in white gold, paired with matching white gold cufflinks from the prestigious maison.

As a friend of the brand, the actor has also had access to some rare pieces from the Piaget archives, including this vintage Piaget Polo 7131 from 1979. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this 25mm unisex design was revolutionary for its time, aligning with the era’s boundary-pushing shifts in fashion, culture and society. Small and understated but big on style, it was a stylish choice for Jordan to wear during the Creed III press tour back in 2022.
