Michael Jordan was photographed in Saint-Tropez, France, alongside Erling Haaland, wearing a Norqain Wild ONE Skeleton in red gold. Estimated price: around $18,000.
It is not the watch most people would guess. Jordan could wear anything, and he picked a young independent Swiss brand most people have never heard of. Haaland, for the record, has his own watch on this site: the Breitling Chronomat with a meteorite dial.
What it is
Norqain is an independent, family-run Swiss watch brand, and the Wild ONE is its sports watch. This is the 39mm Skeleton in red gold, a size that wears smaller than you would expect on a wrist as big as Jordan’s.
The case is a hybrid made of three layers. On top is a plate of 18-carat 5N red gold. Underneath is a chassis made of NORTEQ, Norqain’s own ultra-light carbon fiber, here in dark brown. Between them sits a white rubber shock absorber that protects the movement from knocks.
The dial and the movement
The dial is skeletonised and silver-toned, so you can see the mechanics underneath. The hour markers are faceted and gold-plated, and the hands are filled with Super-LumiNova so they glow in the dark.
Inside is Norqain’s automatic Caliber N08S, certified as a chronometer by the official Swiss testing body, COSC. It has a screw-down crown and is water resistant to 200 meters, and it comes on a white woven-texture rubber strap that matches the shock absorber.
Why it is an interesting pick
At around $18,000 this is a modest watch by the standards of this site, which has covered pieces close to a million dollars. What you get is something rarer than a big name: a watch most people will not recognise, made by a small company, with real engineering in it.
The trade-off is resale. Young brands do not hold value like Rolex or Patek Philippe yet, so treat this as a watch to wear, not an investment.
Where to find one
The position we hold on every page here. We do not link copies or look-alikes of luxury watches. If you want this one, buy it from Norqain or an authorised retailer.
We could not find the Wild ONE on our shopping partners, so the link goes to a different Norqain watch we could find: the Freedom 60 Chrono on a white strap.

Worth saying
Jordan wore it with a plain white t-shirt, and the white strap matches it. It is a relaxed holiday look from someone who could have worn a far louder watch.
