Carmelo Anthony's Watch Collection Got the Lifestyle Porn Treatment From The New York Post

Carmlo Anthony and the Knicks are 2-2 and the NBA regular season is in full swing so what better time for a lifestyle porn profile of Melo and his watch collection in the New York Post? Ladies and gentlemen, synchronize your eye rolls. From The Post:

"“I started talking to people and realized that diamonds aren’t worth it unless you are getting a diamond from Hublot or Audemars Piguet,” he says with a laugh."

Translation: Your diamond ring is worthless.

"“He recently invested in Haute Time magazine and has between 22 and 25 watches in his collection, which he stores in a custom 6-foot case. “It’s a wine case, a cigar case. It’s custom-made for the gentleman,” says the handsome 6-foot-8 athlete."

Investments. Million dollar watch collections that require their own human-size humidor storage furniture. Being called handsome by a reporter in the New York Post. Carmelo is just like us.

"“I don’t like to boast, but I am like one of the first guys [in basketball] to embrace the world of timepieces and watches. I know the history for each brand and [I like] sharing that knowledge with everybody else. I would rather meet the watchmakers than the watch [company] CEOs,” admits Anthony, who turns to AP, Hublot and Richard Mille watches for everyday wear."

What better way to end this story than with a “FIRST!” If you want to read more about Carmelo Anthony and his fancy watches, check his 2014 profile at Haute Time.
