Sam Altman Commissions Limited Edition OpenAI-Branded Luxury Watches
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman commissioned seven custom Swiss watches from independent watchmaker Vanguart, featuring OpenAI branding and AI-related inscriptions such as "COMPUTE IS DESTINY" and "if AGI.aligned: deploy()". Valued at around $180,000 each, these bespoke timepieces reflect Altman's personal interest in luxury watches and OpenAI's vision for artificial general intelligence. Six watches were gifted to OpenAI employees, with about a third of Vanguart's staff involved in the limited production run.
