Conor McGregor is currently in Abu Dhabi preparing for his UFC 257 showdown against Dustin Poirier. But that hasn’t stopped ‘The Notorious’ from going on a shopping spree. Taking to social media, he showed off his latest purchases.
McGregor wrote on Instagram: “New watch new suit new whip alert.”
The Irishman shared images and videos of a tailored suit and a Bentley but it’s his new watches that have attracted plenty of attention from fans.
Where did Conor McGregor buy his watches?
McGregor got his watches from high-end jewellers Jacob & Co.
One of the watches he displayed was the Astronomia Tourbillon Baguette.
On their website, Jacob & Co state the timepiece “is a cinematic sculpture animated by its four-arm movement construction that rotates and floats through the sapphire and diamond-bound space inside its spectacular case”.
They add: “A grand total of 342 invisibly set, baguette-cut diamonds adorn the dial’s backdrop, while 80 invisibly set, baguette-cut diamonds make up the lugs.”
Another watch shown by McGregor was the Rasputin, also by Jacob & Co.
A description reads: “The 47.6mm diameter case in 18-carat white gold is fully set with the lustrous stones, spanning from the case band and the bezel to the lugs and the crown.”

The watch also reveals an erotic image at the touch of a button.
Jacob & Co said: “With the Rasputin, you have the best of both worlds, with the erotic automaton hidden by a curtain that opens to reveal the scene, while the minute repeater chimes out the time.
“On the surface, the Rasputin looks like a high-quality, diamond-set timepiece.
“Only you know the secret that can be revealed with the push of a lever.”
