“You know I'm bad, I'm bad, you know it.” Michael Jackson spent decades proving exactly that through his music, dance moves, and fashion, but also through the luxury items he surrounded himself with.

The King of Pop's watch collection was every bit as distinctive as his stage persona, ranging from diamond-covered masterpieces to classic gold timepieces and sporty everyday watches.

While his musical legacy continues to be debated, one thing is undeniable, Jackson had a taste for watches that stood out. Here are some of the most notable timepieces he was known to own and wear:
