8 timepieces from Rihanna's luxury watch collection: Cartier, Rolex, Jacob & Co and more
When it comes to Rihanna 's luxury watch collection, every single piece just work, work, work, work, works. The Barbados-born singer-turned-business mogul has spent nearly two decades building an empire and a career in entertainment, and with a net worth of US$1.7 billion, she's earned every bit of her style icon status. Never one to shy away from a statement piece, Rihanna has long embraced the world of luxury timepieces, making curated picks, forging relationships with top watchmakers, and consistently stepping out in rare, droolworthy models. From diamond-studded fine jewellery to bold, custom one-offs, here are some of the stand-out watches in Riri's personal collection.

Last month, she stepped out in a floaty, ruffled Saint Laurent maternity dress, grounded with practical Puma trainers – and on her wrist, a not-so-practical Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 77450OR, fresh off the line. This 34mm beauty is crafted from 18-carat pink gold with a matching pink Grande Tapisserie dial and integrated bracelet – a monochrome masterpiece that's as feminine as it is fierce. It's newly released and already making waves in the resale market, commanding prices close to US$90,000. Cartier Panthère de Cartier The Panthère de Cartier watch in yellow gold. Photo: Handout Another fabulous women's watch in Rihanna's collection is the oh-so-chic Cartier Panthère de Cartier, a timepiece she's been spotted wearing on repeat. It's no surprise why: this elegant yellow-gold timepiece is the definition of versatile. With its petite, polished silhouette, it's the kind of watch that works for just about anything, from red carpets and power lunches to late-night parties and casual errand runs. It's quiet luxury at its best – and, worth somewhere in the neighbourhood of US$28,200, it's a nice affordable price point … if you're a billionaire pop star and entrepreneur, of course. Cartier Santos Rihanna's also been seen wearing the Santos de Cartier watch. Photo: Handout Rihanna's love for Cartier doesn't stop at the Panthère. She's also been seen wearing the iconic Cartier Santos, a watch that shares the same sleek design language but with a more structured, industrial edge. Where the Panthère flows like jewellery thanks to its silky, five-link bracelet, the Santos leans tougher: a bold square case, exposed screws and chunkier links that make it feel more unisex. The Fenty Beauty founder was spotted wearing it out and about, running errands like grocery shopping (she's just like us!) stacking it with gold bangles (OK, not just like us), proving that luxury doesn't need an occasion.

Comic-Con 2025 wraps up in San Diego
Comic-Con 2025 wraps up in San Diego Cosplay fans gather at San Diego Comic-Con 2025, which ran from July 24-27 at the San Diego Convention Center. Photo: RTHK RTHK's San Francisco correspondent Mark Niu reports from Comic-Con One of the world's largest conventions on pop culture wrapped up on Sunday in the US city of San Diego. The Comic-Con International 2025 brought out the stars and plenty of costumes. An estimated 150,000 people filled the convention halls to celebrate their favourite comic books, TV shows, games, and movies. Hollywood actor and wrestler John Cena put in an appearance to discuss the upcoming season of his superhero series The Peacemaker. Cena appeared in the title character's full comic costume and grand helmet, leading the legions in the kind of exaggerated drama he was perfect at provoking in his wrestling days. The crowd saw scenes from Season 2, which arrives in August and sees Cena entering another dimension where he gets to be a cool version of the hero instead of the often pained version that's typical of the character. Some characters from Superman will make appearances. Over the weekend, the cast of Bad Guys 2 teased new footage from the movie and described how they recorded their characters. Marc Maron, who plays Snake, joked that he asked to be tied up as he performed his lines on the floor. 'The depth of the character should read a little more this time,' he said. The film, based on the graphic novel series by Aaron Blabey, introduces a new crew of animal criminals, the Bad Girls played by Danielle Brooks, Natasha Lyonne and Maria Bakalova. Paramount showed off its first footage from a new series, Starfleet Academy, which stars Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti. The show follows cadets as they go through training, with Hunter serving as chancellor of the academy. It will arrive in 2026, the 60th anniversary year of the original Star Trek series. Fans also got sneak previews of Five Nights at Freddy's 2, the upcoming FX series Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands, which will be in theatres in November. Creating every bit as much excitement among fans was the Chinese company Pop Mart, selling the latest version of the hugely-popular Labubu dolls. Kathy Rheinhardt says she had to sign up for an online lottery several weeks ago to book an appointment, then show up at a time slot to stand in a queue that appeared to have at least 100 people. 'I want the pink one and the purple one. They're blind boxes, so you don't know what you get till you open it, but it makes it exciting", she said. Among the vendors on the floor were also mom-and-pop-style stalls, such as Artistic Flavorz owned by Filippina-American Joanne Zamudio. Customers there could get colorful T-shirts, stickers, and unique enamel pins, including one in the form of an Ube ice cream bin that opens to reveal chicken adobo stored inside. 75 percent of Artistic Flavorz' products are manufactured in China and therefore being hit by US tariffs. 'It is more difficult because we have to pay an extra on top of that without raising our prices, because we don't feel like we should, you know, affect what our consumer has to pay just because we have to pay more. So we're kind of just like biting the bullet right now,' said Joanne Zamudio, co-owner of Artistic Flavorz. Another important section to visit was the famed Artists Alley, where hundreds of artists - drawing everything from SpiderMan to Star Wars - sell their personal works. But these days artists like Salvador Velazquez from Mexico said they were concerned about the growing threat of generative AI. 'Anyone can paint just with this right amount of time dedicated to it. And with generative AI, you don't get that. You may get, a nice shot of any picture, but it's stolen and you lose yourself the whole experience of creating it yourself,' said Velazquez.
