Rubber B has become well-known as a highly respected crafter of custom rubber watch bands for timepieces from some of the most respected watchmakers in the field, including such brands as Patek Philippe, IWC, and Breitling. Rubber B has a variety of straps in different colors and styles in our product portfolio that are appropriate for both business\/formal wear and more casual situations as well. In today\u2019s blog entry, we are going to take a closer look at the career and watch collection, of Mark Ronson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While he is arguably best known to audiences as the musical mastermind behind the international megahit \u201cUptown Funk\u201d from 2015, which saw the renowned DJ collaborating with longtime friend Bruno Mars, Ronson had been working in the music industry for decades before achieving that kind of success. What is less known about him is that he is also a keen and discerning collector of luxury watches, so let\u2019s take a few moments to learn more about both his long career of crafting earworms and his collection of elegant timepieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is Mark Ronson?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mark Daniel Ronson was born on September 4th<\/sup>, 1975 in Notting Hill, London, England to Laurence, a music manager, and real estate developer, and Ann Dexter, a writer and jewelry designer who is also a socialite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his youth, Ronson\u2019s parents would divorce, and his mother would eventually remarry Foreigner guitarist Mick Jones. Jones would go on to write Foreigner\u2019s famous song \u201cI Want to Know What Love Is\u201d about his relationship with Dexter. Ronson, along with his mother, stepfather, and his sisters, would move to New York City when he was eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sean Lennon was one of his childhood friends, and in his teens, he managed to convince Jann Werner into giving him an internship at Rolling Stone magazine. He would attend high school at the Collegiate School in Manhattan before going on to attend New York University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Ronson\u2019s Early Beginnings in Music<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1990s, Ronson began to develop a reputation as a DJ on the New York Club scene, often charging $50 per gig. He began attracting audiences by managing to successfully working in a wide variety of musical styles into his setlists, including funk, hip hop, and rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What truly managed to set him apart though, was that he was playing songs that were popular in both the United States and the United Kingdom during his sets, which managed to give his work an international flair that local DJs simply could not compete with. He soon became sought-after and was being booked for high-profile events and private parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainstream Success and Future Endeavors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the early 2000s, Ronson signed a deal with Elektra Records, and he would go on to release his first record, \u201cHere Comes the Fuzz,\u201d in 2003. Despite the fact that the record did not sell particularly well, it was very well received by critics and featured a plethora of guest appearances from various musicians, including Mos Def, Jack White, Sean Paul, Nappy Roots, and Rivers Cuomo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2006, Ronson would share co-producer credit on Amy Winehouse\u2019s \u201cBack to Black\u201d album. This would be an important album for a number of reasons, as it would go on to win several Grammys, and also forge a close friendship between the two that would last until Winehouse tragically passed away in 2011. Ronson has been open about the fact that the two were close friends and how deeply saddened he was about the loss of his creative partner and collaborator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ronson would continue to be active as a DJ and producer, releasing the studio albums \u201cVersion\u201d in 2007 and \u201cRecord Collection\u201d in 2010. However, it was the release of his fourth studio album, \u201cUptown Special,\u201d in 2015, which was dedicated to Winehouse, that would prove to be his biggest success since \u201cBack to Black.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason for this was the release of \u201cUptown Funk,\u201d a massively successful collaboration with Bruno Mars that spent 14 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Ronson would follow that album up with 2019\u2019s \u201cLate Night Feelings,\u201d and though he\u2019s been quiet since that time, we\u2019re sure it won\u2019t be too long before he puts another record out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Kind of Watches Does Mark Ronson Have in His Collection?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mark Ronson is also known for being something of a style icon as well, so it shouldn\u2019t be something of a surprise that he owns a number of luxury timepieces, including an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 36mm Champagne Dial Yellow Gold, a Rolex Daytona, a Rolex GMT Master Pepsi, a Piaget Altiplano ref. G0A32172, and a Chopard L.U.C XP. Additionally, he currently serves as a brand ambassador for Audemars Piguet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
