Gisele Bundchen Watch Collection

Rubber B was the first company worldwide to develop custom rubber watch straps exclusively for Rolex timepieces, and since then, the company has added several other prominent watchmakers to its product portfolio. Rubber B also creates custom rubber watch bands for watches produced by Panerai, Rolex, and Audemars Piguet.

There are few names more immediately recognizable than that of Gisele Bundchen. The Brazilian supermodel was internationally famous for years as a result of reaching the pinnacle of her profession – and that was before she married the greatest quarterback to ever play in the NFL.

While many know Gisele Bundchen for her stunning good looks and wealth, what many are not aware of is that she is also a luxury watch collector as well. Below, we will explore the life, career, and watch collection of the Brazilian model.

Who Is Gisele Bundchen?

Gisele Bundchen was born on July 20^th, 1980, in Horizontina, Rio Grande de Sul, Brazil. She is of German and Brazilian descent. Her mother, Vania, was a bank clerk, and her father, Valdir, was a sociologist and writer. Her paternal grandfather, Walter Bündchen, once served as the mayor of the town where she was born.

Bundchen is a polyglot, as she is able to speak Portuguese, Italian, English, Spanish, and some French. She initially had aspirations of being a volleyball player, but her mother enrolled her and her sisters in a modeling course in 1993 in the hopes that they would learn confidence and improve their posture. After being spotted in a shopping mall, she was soon signed to a modeling agency. In 1995, she would move to Sao Paulo to launch her modeling career.

Gisele Bundchen’s Early Modeling Career

In 1997, Bündchen had been rejected 42 times before finally being asked to be part of an Alexander McQueen runway show. From then on, she would pose for a number of internationally recognized brands, including Ralph Lauren and Versace. By 1999, Bündchen would sign with IMG Models and begin landing magazine covers in the United States.

Victoria’s Secret and Mainstream Success

In the year 2000, Bündchen would appear on 37 Vogue covers, including three in the United States. She would also begin her relationship with Victoria’s Secret the same year, modeling their Red Hot Fantasy Bra. The piece was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the most expensive piece of lingerie ever crafted.

Bündchen would eventually retire from the runway in 2009, after completing one final contract with Victoria’s Secret. That same year, The Independent referred to her as the biggest star in fashion history. Content with her success in modeling, she had also decided to try her hand at acting towards the end of her modeling career.

In 2004, she would appear in the American remake of Taxi with Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah. She would appear on screen again two years later, in The Devil Wears Prada, playing the part of a model named Serena.

Today, Bündchen primarily remains focused on her business ventures and raising her children with her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Tom Brady.

What Watches Are in Gisele Bündchen’s Watch Collection?

Bundchen recently joined IWC as a brand consultant and advisor to their sustainability committee. As part of this announcement, she unveiled the new IWC Portugieser Chronograph IW371617. The watch is notable for being made with more sustainable materials.

Bündchen will likely advise the company on its sustainability efforts for many years to come, as she has expressed her admiration for the brand in interviews for several years before working with them.
