This Rare Watch Was Worn by Kanye West, Muhammad Ali & Princess Diana!

Muhammad Ali and Kanye West have been icons for their respective generations. The pair was not only known for their craft but also for their style and fashion sense. Ali always dressed like a professional, wearing tailored suits to press conferences and media appearances. Whereas, West has become an icon in the fashion industry, working with brands like Adidas and Balenciaga.

However, the two have sported one item that has stood the test of time. The Cartier Tank probably has been one of the most sought-after watches. The watch has sported the same design since its launch in 1932. Moreover, it has been worn by the likes of Steve McQueen, Ali, West, and even Princess Diana. Although there are some differences in the design of every watch, the base leather strap and the timepiece have remained consistent since their inception.

Ali owned the JC version of the watch, named after Jean-Jacques Cartier. It was the second model of the watch, originally named LC after the founder. West, on the other hand, owns a Cartier Crash. The first run of this timepiece was made in limited numbers, with only  24 made between the late ‘60s and ‘80s. However, West owns a version from the first “mass” production of the Crash done in Paris in 1991 with around 400 pieces produced.
