Last month, Richard Mille hosted a dinner in New York City to honor Natalie Portman, and welcome her as a friend of the brand. "For the occasion, Natalie chose to wear a conflict free diamond-set version of Richard Mille's original watch for women: the RM 007 Automatic. With both natural rubber and synthetic satin strap options according to Natalie's wishes, the RM 007 fits easily into Natalie's lifestyle, whether she is at home with her family, traveling, or attending a glamorous event." Mille and Portman have announced their plans to collaborate on a limited edition watch whose proceeds will support the charity - Free The Children.

In the early 1970s, Omega created a small number of prototype Speedmasters, specifically made to withstand the low temperatures of space. The watches were never approved by NASA, as they thought the Speedmaster was already sufficient, so the prototypes never went into production. Fast forward to 2008, and Omega decided to produce a limited edition tribute to the Alaska Project. That is what Ochocinco is seen wearing above, in the picture which he posted to his Facebook page earlier today. As you might expect, he is wearing it with the huge 58 mm x 26 mm red outer case!

Former president, Bill Clinton, was wearing a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Alarm (not sure which reference) on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night. Clinton made a guest appearance on the show to promote his new book "Back to Work," and wore the Jaeger outside of his shirt cuff, which made it clear what he was wearing. Clinton has been known as a watch fan ever since leaving office. He famously wore a Timex while in office, but after leaving he has been seen wearing a number of high-end timepieces.
