Vijay Mallya: Apart from his chunky ring fixation, India's liquor baron loves his blingy watches too. In expensive metals like gold and platinum, he also has a few studded watches. One of his treasured pieces is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, which he picked up at a charity in France, whose proceeds went to a Princess Diana charity. It is the only piece of its kind.
Richard Branson: To Virgin Atlantic's boss Richard Branson, his Breitling Emergency watch is a special one. It has saved his life on a couple of occasions; he has been pulled out of the sea about six times by helicopters in boating and ballooning incidents.
This watch is especially cool because once you pull out its aerial, it sends out an EPIRB (emergency position indicating radio beacon, which transmits your GPS position up to a satellite), and any boat within 200 miles or any helicopter will then head to rescue whoever is on the end of the watch.
Vladamir Putin: One of his favourite watches is a Tourbograph by German watchmaker A Lange & Sohne. It is made from platinum with a crocodile skin strap and you can call one your own for £300,000 (approx Rs 2.5 crore). Putin also loves his £6,450 (approx Rs 5.5 lakh) Flyback made by A Lange & Sohne.
Yash Birla: We can't get our hands on this big chunky bling watch that Yash sports pretty frequently; but it sure seems like his favourite.
Tamara Ecclestone: She has been spotted many-a-time wearing Cartier's Ballon Bleu watches, which the company also says is one of its best selling watches.

Prince William: He always wears his 300m mid-size Omega Seamaster Quartz, which is apparently a gift from his mother, Diana. This watch model is sometimes referred to as the James Bond watch due to the appearance in the Bond movies.
Tiger Woods: The world's first athlete to earn over $1 billion in his career, he has been sporting the Tag Heuer's Link Calibre S Chronograph every now and then.
Roman Abramovich: This super rich Russian has a penchant for Rolex watches. Among his favourites are a $29,000 Rolex Daytona and a $19,000 gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date Submariner.
