Kobe Bryant, who confesses his love for watches says, “I don’t do deals or partnerships where I don’t get thoroughly involved.”

He compares the Nubeo line to his on-court play. “It’s just a beautiful watch but you don’t see all the intricacies.”

Nubeo is making just 1,074 of the Kobe watches. Some styles are adorned with sapphires.
