Unexpected! Forever 'American sweetheart' Jennifer Aniston turns out to be a watch collector

Jennifer Aniston doesn't need to impress anyone. Since the late 1980s, she's been consistently surprising everyone on TV and film, and most recently, as a producer/director, and arguably one of the most famous women in the world. She is a deft comedian who also excels in serious theatrical roles. Her Hall of Fame resume is outstanding, winning Emmys , Golden Globes and two SAG Awards. She is so famous that her hairstyle is named after her most recognizable character. The fact that someone with dazzling star power like her can wear anything she wants makes her elegantly understated watch collection even more impressive.

The watchmaking industry doesn't offer a lot of space for female collectors to indulge, but thankfully, that seems to be changing. Frankly, many celebrities are very cautious when choosing a watch, or they just stick to the brand they endorse, but Jen's collection seems to have more thought and consideration. For the crazy Friends fan who is willing to buy anything she likes at any cost, she mostly eschews smaller or bejeweled watches and chooses her own path. Aside from her first watch (the Mickey Mouse model), her first foray into serious watches was the vintage Rolex . It's unclear which model she bought, but it was a big investment at the time, as she hadn't gotten a financial return from Friends.

Jen has long been a fan of Rolex and has been ahead of the curve when it comes to choosing larger watches for small wrists. What she wears most often, and is visibly one of her favorites, is Rolex's luxurious classic, 36mm yellow gold day-date, champagne dial, featuring a presidential bracelet, but with an extra twist: a smooth bezel, while Not the more common groove variant. It was probably a gift from her ex-lover guitarist John Mayer. For some reason, some of the watches Mayer bought at the time may have been fakes, and he subsequently filed a lawsuit against the dealer. Regardless of the past, this watch is clearly Aniston's favorite, and since she wears it so often, this Rolex should be real. We also found out that Jen has a Rolex stainless steel Datejust, one with a white dial and one with a salmon dial.

One of Aniston's most daring timepieces is her custom blacked-out Rolex Oyster Perpetual Milgauss. You can always bet on black for timeless style, and her Milgauss was a little unusual in that the signature green crystals have been swapped out for clear. With its 40mm case size and understated appearance, it can turn into anyone's best choice and prove that Jen absolutely moves at her own pace.

Lest you think the sitcom royal queen is all about Friends, Aniston isn't afraid to take a different path on her series. Jen has at least two Cartier on her wrist, including the Cartier Tank Solo worn in The Breakup in 2006. This is a watch with a classic Tank look that is versatile enough to fit in almost any setting.

She was also spotted owning the now-discontinued Cartier roadster in stainless steel, a bolder option with a curvaceous threaded bezel, a sturdy bracelet, and a clever integration of the date Cyclops extending to the prominent watch in the lines of the crown. The silhouette of the case really evokes classic car designs, and it's a great, oft-overlooked Cartier.

Aniston recently starred in the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show, where she played morning news mogul Alex Levy, a big fan of Chopard.

This watch is perfect for her role, there are some bold attempts in the rose gold that Alex loves, including the 40mm L.U.C XPS with small seconds, and the 43mm L.U.C adjuster with GMT function, which is perfect for her The identity of the female boss.

After the turmoil of Season 1, Alex upped the ante considerably for Season 2. Her choice was a stunning and epic 41mm Alpine Eagle rose gold watch with a blue dial. With its St. Moritz multi-sport model from the 80s, Chopard is a real winner with this Royal Oak Killer. The flawless execution of the case and bracelet aside, the real highlight is the uniquely textured blue dial designed to evoke an eagle-eyed look. This gorgeous timepiece has a 60-hour COSC-certified movement that is breathtaking.

Considering recent events in Alex's life, the $50,000 retail price tag seems like a completely credible reward for the webcaster. This is the perfect package for the episode.
