Watch Spotting: George Michael Wearing A Bulgari BVLGARI (1987)
The year 1987 was a big one for George Michael. Following his success with his band Wham! (a personal favorite, $10 if you can recall the name of his other half), Michael went out on his own and launched his debut solo album Faith .
With hits such as "I Want Your Sex" and "Kissing a Fool" – not to mention the title track (a karaoke classic!) – Michael was a pop star with the wrist candy to prove it. Here you can see him wearing a time-only Bulgari BVLGARI wristwatch plus his signature cross earring.

The iconic watch is one of Bulgari's most recognizable pieces from that time. Originally launched in 1975 as a gift for top clients, the simple gold watch with black dial and brown calfskin strap became so popular that it found its way into a standalone collection. You can still find these lurking on eBay today, or can buy a brand new one in updated materials like carbon.You gotta have faith...in this watch.
