An article in December Watchtime about Arnold Schwarzenegger, the watch collector and his association with AP.

I couldn't believe the following images of how he keeps his watches (if the photos taken are true).

Bloody disgrace compared to how I look after my watches.

sugiharto · 24 November 2012, 09:17 PM

Messy! He has probably lost one of them and has never even noticed :)

Rashid.bk · 24 November 2012, 10:08 PM

One thing I can say is that his philosophy on watches is dead on with me, except I'd take a little better care since I had to scrape to buy one. He doesn't believe in winders or anything. He says he just digs one up that he likes winds it up, sets the time and done.
Besides, Arnold is a filthy rich and like 90% of those watches were free. Go Arnie

Wow

What ROO is on the right side of first picture... looks green...

brkanand · 24 November 2012, 11:30 PM

Very nice pile!

travisb · 25 November 2012, 12:03 AM

Never, ever, ever, ever.

Dickson Lim · 25 November 2012, 12:22 AM

A great drawer! Will be able to find treasure everyday!

B. Doggy · 25 November 2012, 01:52 AM

Yikes...

Yoda · 25 November 2012, 02:52 AM

Any guesses on what number the LE's are?

mb23 · 25 November 2012, 03:31 AM

Wow!

h999r · 25 November 2012, 03:57 AM

I might have twice of his collection if I were him.

kilyung · 25 November 2012, 04:18 AM

That is a sock drawer!!

eric23 · 25 November 2012, 04:20 AM

Nice! I think I would invest in a few watch boxes.

randyyeap · 25 November 2012, 04:21 AM

WOW so cool

Watchflair · 25 November 2012, 04:38 AM

Lol. He doesn't associate the same value we do to them. So the same level of care isn't there. He probably knows nothing of AP other than that its a big bulky watch that looks good with his humvee.

T. Ferguson · 25 November 2012, 04:49 AM

Apparently the Terminator much prefers straps.

financeman · 25 November 2012, 05:16 AM

That goes to show you that when you work hard for something and spend your money on it, you take better care of it. He may not believe in winders and such but he could at least take a little better care of these awesome pieces. Stuff like this makes me nauseas

QueueCumber · 25 November 2012, 05:51 AM

Someone should terminate his watch collection!

Peppers90 · 25 November 2012, 05:55 AM

^^ x2
What a hot mess; even if I were filthy rich I would need more organization than that!

QueueCumber · 25 November 2012, 06:01 AM

He has a U-Boat watch...

I only wish I could open my dressing room drawer and seeing all my 'babies' but with a little more care. I'd hate to see how many scratches there are.

QueueCumber · 25 November 2012, 06:53 AM

I thought this was going to be a thread about Leonardo DiCaprio's underwear...

Yep. When things are comp'd to you (free), one tends to take them for granted.

Sad.

QueueCumber · 25 November 2012, 08:16 AM

I think the picture was manufactured...

None of the watches are sitting on each other metal to metal. I think it was staged. The metal on the expensive watches is always resting on something soft such as a watch band...

Hairdude1 · 25 November 2012, 12:17 PM

Good point, the brushed bezels look too clean of the expected dings if carelessly thrown in a drawer.

Felt that way too when I first saw the pictures. Anyhow, still nice watches, whether being thrown or pampered like a baby!
