Tom Brady’s watch collection is fast gaining traction in the world of haute horology.

The former quarterback and one of the NFL’s highest-earning players has been steadily adding to his already impressive collection, showing off everything from striking, trendy pieces to very rare watches typically sported by the ultra-elite – so exclusive they’re rarely seen in public.

This shouldn’t be surprising, given Brady’s substantial wealth. Forbes reports that during his 23-year NFL career, Brady accumulated a staggering US$530 million, with US$333 million coming from playing contracts and over US$200 million from off-field endeavours, including endorsements and business ventures.

Now retired and embracing a newly single life without Gisele Bündchen, Brady has more time to dedicate to his burgeoning interest in timepieces – and he’s got half a billion dollars to play with.

Here’s a look at some of the most remarkable pieces in Tom Brady’s opulent watch collection.
