The Reported KSh220M Watch That Has Kenyans Talking

Zimbabwean billionaire businessman Wicknell Chivayo has once again become the center of attention on social media, this time following his visit to President William Ruto at State House, Nairobi.

While the meeting itself attracted interest, it was Chivayo’s extravagant fashion statement that stole the spotlight.

The flamboyant businessman was spotted wearing a Jacob & Co. Caviar Tourbillon watch reportedly worth a staggering $1.7 million (approximately KSh 220 million).

As photos from the visit circulated online, many Kenyans and Zimbabweans could not help but zoom in on the luxury timepiece adorning his wrist.

The Caption That Got Everyone Talking

Known for his humorous and confident online personality, Chivayo accompanied the photos with a playful caption that quickly went viral.

“JAMBO NAIROBI… Please ignore the 18 Karat Rose gold diamonds 💎 1.7 million USD Jacob & Co. Caviar Tourbillon watch on my wrist, I was just paying a COURTESY call on a wonderful Leader PAR EXCELLENCE and an amazing Father to me... KWAHERI Baba yangu mpendwa… ”

The billionaire’s tongue-in-cheek request for followers to “ignore” the watch only drew even more attention to the luxurious accessory.

Meeting President Ruto at State House
