All The Timeless Luxurious Watches Owned By BTS Singer V: Cartier, Gucci And Extra

The pop culture universe is currently dominated by the K-pop boy band Bangtan Sonyeondan or BTS. The septet’s collective influence on the global pop landscape is second to none. Naturally, such popularity comes with a significant boost to their net worth, glam quotient and influence. From their lavish threads to luxury watches, we cannot help but draw inspiration from the impeccable style of BTS members.

While RM, Jin, Suga, Jimin, V, J-Hope and Jungkook are known for splurging money on lavish real-estate properties, private jets, luxury cars and other assets like regular celebs, it is the BTS members’ watch ensemble that often keeps hawk-eyed ARMY members (BTS’ official fanbase) hooked. As a matter of fact, the estimated worth of the septet’s luxury watch collection stands around USD 1 million.

Hailed one of the most handsome men in the world, Kim Taehyung — more commonly known as V — perhaps enjoys the widest fan-following among all the BTS members. Beyond his soulful voice and lively persona on the stage, it is V’s suave style that impresses his followers the most. His impeccable fashion sense is often the talk of the town.

He is also known for his collaborations with major brands like Gucci and Cartier. Like the rest of his band members, this South Korean singer, too, has a penchant for luxury watches.

Curious to know more about his collection of timepieces? We bring you a curation of the timeless luxury watches owned by the BTS star V and their prices.

A detailed look at BTS singer V’s collection of iconic watches

Panthère de Cartier

Price: USD 71,180

Let us kick-start the list of V’s luxury watches with the most innovative watch (in terms of design) in the BTS singer’s collection. Created by French jeweller and watchmaker Cartier, the Panthère de Cartier is bold and beautiful — much like the singer himself.

As the name suggests, the timepiece in question is a part of Cartier’s signature Panthère de Cartier collection. Every piece of jewellery in this ensemble features a distinct mark of a panther, and the watch is no different. Shaped like a bracelet, the timepiece sports a panther’s face on one end of the bracelet, and a small dial studded with 24 brilliant-cut diamonds on the other.

This minimalist watch is crafted out of 18 carats of gold and is water resistant up to 30 metres. Interestingly, V is a brand ambassador of Cartier, and the brand appointed him as the face of their Panthère de Cartier collection.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Eight Days Limited Edition

Price: USD 24,133

A very rare timepiece, Jaeger-LeCoultre made only 50 pieces of the Master Eight Days Limited Edition variant. Made of stainless steel, the watch is powered by a manual winding movement. The 42-millimetre dial of the watch is protected by a sapphire crystal.

In contrast to a stainless steel bracelet or a rubber strap, the timepiece comes with a more premium crocodile skin strap. The watch is water resistant up to 50 metres. This piece of apparel perfectly compliments V’s enigmatic personality.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre Quantième Lunaire

Price: USD 21,500

One of Jaeger-LeCoulte’s most famous watches, the Duomètre Quantième Lunaire is a testament to the watchmaker’s master craftsmanship.

On the outside, the timepiece comes with a 42-millimetre case made of 18 carats of pink gold. It has a leather strap, and the model is water resistant up to 50 metres.

Under the hood, the Duomètre Quantième Lunaire is powered by the Calibre 381 which is made up of 375 components. It is one of the most accurate mechanical movements offered by Jaeger-LeCoultre. In addition, the watch comes with a moon phase calendar mechanism.

What makes this watch a special one in V’s collection is the fact that it was a gift to the BTS singer by a few of his loyal Chinese fans on his birthday in 2017.

Cartier Tank Louis

Price: USD 13,510

Perhaps the most famous timepiece by Cartier, the Tank Louis has found a place in the BTS star V’s luxury watch collection. Even though it is a relatively simple-looking watch, it exudes elegance and royalty from every angle.

The timepiece is powered by a mechanical movement with manual winding. Its case is made of 18-carat yellow gold, and the crown sports a piece of sapphire on top. The watch sports an alligator-skin strap with an 18-carat yellow gold ardillon buckle. This Cartier watch is perfectly in tandem with the singer‘s personality, and he is often spotted in public wearing it.

Gucci Le Marché des Merveilles

Price: USD 1,100

The Korean idol is popularly known as the “Gucci boy”. And rightfully so, for V’s love of Gucci extends beyond his clothes and bags.

In terms of durability, the watch is protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal glass that is in sync with the polished gold-tone casing. This timepiece is powered by the quartz movement, thereby providing more accuracy than its mechanical counterparts.

EONIQ Customised Navigator

Price: USD 448

The EONIQ Customised Navigator is a worthy addition to the BTS singer‘s collection as a dress watch. Powered by Citizen’s Miyota 8 series Japanese automatic mechanical movement, each winding provides a power reserve of 42 hours.

Made of surgical-grade s the 44-millimetre skeleton dial is protected by a sapphire crystal glass. The timepiece is water-resistant up to 100 metres.

Swiss Military Hanowa Men’s Oceanic

Price: USD 144

Last but not least in the BTS V’s enviable collection of iconic watches, the Swiss Military Hanowa Men’s Oceanic sports the most robust look among all the timepieces in this curation. The watch has a large dial with a diameter of 43 millimetres protected by a sapphire crystal glass.

Crafted out of stainless steel, this Swiss Military timepiece features a rubber strap with a stainless steel buckle. The watch is powered by a quartz movement and is water resistant up to 100 metres.
