This past weekend I ran into so many ballers in Atlanta. I guess I just happened to be in the right places at the right times.
A few of the ballers I can’t even name because they roll so quietly in the ATL. You would never know these men were ballin’ unless you saw them step out of their Bentley’s or Phantoms — or unless you have a good eye for fine timepieces.
One of the men — who happens to be a friend of mine — knows that I love fine watches. So he brought out his impressive collection of timepieces. I marveled at the APs (Audemars Piguet) and Hublot’s he had in just one case of his large collection (pictured at right).
AP and Hublot are the favored watches of many wealthy stars such as T.I., Jay Z and LeBron James, among others. My friend’s watch collection also contains several pieces from the Aximum line, which is owned by every celebrity and ball player in the world! His collection ranges from $50,000 to well over $200,000 for just one timepiece!
You might recognize his Aximum King Pro (pictured up top) as the same timepiece that Big Poppa purchased for Kim Zolciak on Real Housewives of Atlanta (Kim’s watch is rose gold). The Aximum showroom is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Buckhead. You need an appointment just to view their timepieces.
Visit the Aximum website here.
Apart from the cars he drives, you would never know he had a million dollar watch collection just by looking at him. His clothing is nondescript (Polo button downs, t-shirts, jeans and white sneakers) — and he moves without an entourage.
Here’s a tip on how to snag a True Baller: recognize the AP or Hublot watch on his wrist. He will be more impressed than if you complimented him on his cars. Not everyone can afford an AP — and not every chick knows what an AP looks like.
Knowledge is what separates groupies from women who snag True Ballers — the quiet millionaires who have accumulated wealth that rappers can only dream about.
Visit the Tourneau website and familiarize yourself with the classic timepieces, such as Audemar Piguet, Franck Muller, Breguet, Hublot, Patek Philippe, Chopard, Cartier, and other fine watches that the jet setting ballers love.
Knowledge of the possessions that they prize is the key if you want to snag a true baller, ladies!
