Michael B. Jordan may have played a villainous character in Marvel’s 2018 blockbuster Black Panther, but today he’s wearing a watch made for a superhero. The dial of American actor’s rose-gold Piaget Altiplano is cast from grey meteorite, a material arguably as enigmatic as Vibranium, the fictional metal much prized by Wakanda, the futuristic African nation portrayed in the movie.

Burning brightly in the entertainment universe right now is Jordan himself. Born in California and raised in Newark, New Jersey, he cut his teeth on critically acclaimed TV roles in hit US shows including The Wire and Friday Night Lights before becoming a serious Hollywood heavyweight on the back of performances in 2015 Rocky spin-off Creed and the $1.3 billion-grossing Black Panther.
