NEW YORK (AP) — Bling is moving uptown. Jay-Z and watchmaker Audemars Piquet announced Tuesday the creation of a limited-edition timepiece. A series of 100 watches will retail for between $23,500 and $69,500.

"I chose to partner with Audemars Piquet based on the quality and integrity of the brand," Jay-Z said in a statement. "It's a perfect marriage."

The 35-year-old rap mogul has lately been a trendsetter of high style. On the song What More Can I Say, he raps, "I don't wear jerseys, I'm 30-plus. Give me a crisp pair of jeans..."

The watches were co-designed by Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter. They are to commemorate his 10th anniversary in the music industry, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the S. Carter Scholarship Fund.

who would buy these? unless they are being designed and marketed without reference to jay-z....

well, i guess the paris hiltons of the world would buy it.....this is just silly...

its geared to the rich and wealthy...maybe its a watch for the stars...

those are who i cant see wearing this....but then i remembered that the old money rules are fast being thrown out by the likes of Paris so who knows what they will wear...Paris is proof that the end is coming..

i mean really...it's one thing to buy a somebody's $13.99 cd, or their $19.99 Rocawear shirt..but who the hell is gonna buy this thing? I guess maybe the young and rich, like an NBA or NFL player, but don't know too many Fortune 500 execs who's gonna bite... and I thought shit in NPGMC retail was expensive


"Hey Bill, is that a Cartier watch you're wearing?"

"Why no it's not, Stanley...this is the the new Jay-Z watch..it was only $65,000!"

"Wow, it's stunning. Maybe you can clock some hoes with that!"

"No doubt. I'm the first one in my country club to get one!"

and exactly how many of his fans (famous people excluded) will be able to afford this shit?
