You’ve heard the phrase “beauty with brains,” but when it comes to Dwyane Wade, he’s the definition of “talent with good taste.” Over the years, Wade has offered glimpses of who he is beyond basketball. However, at the recent launch of Tiffany & Co.’s Titan collection, he showed off more than just his style. Between flexing his wrist and rocking a sleek retro outfit, he revealed something truly unexpected—something that had fans doing a double-take.

We’ve all been captivated by Wade’s brilliance on the court, but his taste in music? That’s a side fans rarely get to see. That changed on Tuesday night at the Plaza Athenée. Wade and Gabrielle Union attended the Tiffany & Co. Titan collection event, turning heads with their signature style. Both shared plenty of snapshots on Instagram, but one story from Wade stood out. Wade was sitting on a chair, oozing swag, with “Tell Me” by Dru Hill playing in the background. A deep-cut R&B classic? Now that’s a man with taste.

Man! In that outfit, with that gold chain draped around his neck, Wade looked straight out of Men in Black giving a total Will Smith vibe. But instead of fighting aliens, he was vibing to 90s R&B like a true connoisseur. He even made it clear in his story, captioning it, “90s RnB Vibes.”

And now let’s talk about that wrist on that night. It was on full display, as it should be. A stunning timepiece with Tiffany & Co. branding on the dial possibly iced out with Tiffany diamonds. Pure elegance. The watch, the fit, the music, it all blended perfectly. And it surely made Wade the undeniable star of the night. But speaking of watches, did you know Wade has a long-standing relationship with timepieces?

Dwyane Wade and his love for watches

Don’t be shocked to know that Wade isn’t just a watch collector, he’s also into creating them. The Miami Heat legend has been designing high-end timepieces in collaboration with Swiss watchmaker Hublot. But it isn’t that easy to get. These luxury watches carry five-figure price tags. His passion for precision and style is really admirable. When his second collaboration, the Classic Fusion Dwyane Wade hit the market, GQ sat down with him to explore this lesser-known side of his creativity. Turns out, Wade’s eye for detail is really something else.

And for the record, Wade’s passion for watches is really intense.  He doesn’t even know how many he owns. During his GQ interview, he admitted, “I’m lucky and blessed to be able to get watches when I ask for them. When I travel, I have three or four that I keep in rotation.”  Man! He is like the Dr, Stange from Marvel Universe.

Dwyane Wade is a man with style. Wade proves he’s not just a champion in basketball but in life. He is an icon in the true sense who continues to set trends and redefine what it means to be a legend. And “time” might just be his best accessory.
