In this article, we take a look back at Bryant's watch ventures and his own collection of watches. Around 2009, Kobe invested in a new luxury watch brand called Nubeo. He even designed a Black Mamba watch. Unfortunately, the financial crisis of the time scuppered plans to launch the watch and brand. Thereafter, Kobe became an ambassador for Hublot, and he had several limited-edition rolex watches replica made in his name by Hublot. Read all about it in the link below.
