Rolex & Chrome Hearts?

Rolex & Chrome Hearts?

Who Knew?

Many Collector's, that's who!

Ok, So what is "Chrome Hearts"

It's a brand.

 

Chrome Hearts is an American luxury brand, founded in 1988 by motorcycle enthusiast Richard Stark, that specializes in high-end silver jewelry, leather clothing and furniture with gothic rock motifs. It is known for its luxury items which feature fleur-de-lys, dagger and floral cross designs. The boutiques sell Rolex watches with one-of-a-kind Chrome Hearts bracelets in place of the stock band or strap. They offer sunglasses and clothing with their signature designs. Gold items were added to the collection.
Celebrities who wear Chrome Hearts include:The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Ricky Martin, David Beckham, Justin Timberlake, Ashlee Simpson, Lenny Kravitz, Cher, ZZ Top, Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson, Usher, John Morrison, Mischa Barton, Lynn & Wade LLP, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, Andy Lau, Anita Mui, Zaina Alsabah-Binladin, Nicholas Tse, Takuya Kimura, L'Arc-en-Ciel, Luna Sea, Michi (song), Dir en grey, Koichi Domoto, Subaru Shibutani, Van Ness Wu, Show Luo, Rain, Taeyang, Daul Kim, G-Dragon, Sandara Park, 2NE1, Han Geng, Jay Z, Salman Khan and Lil Wayne. Chrome Hearts gear was also visible on members of the Osbourne family during shooting of the MTV reality show The Osbournes.


While, I have only become aware of the brand and their cool 19mm watch band (ideal for Rolex Daytona's) and 20mm watch bracelet ( ideal for pretty much every other Rolex Sub,Gmt, Explorer etc.) Many other Rolex collector's seem to love them. There are several boutiques for "Chrome Hearts"  in Europe and Asia as well as in my country the U.S.
