Introduction to Leslie Wexner
Leslie Wexner is one of the most consequential figures in American retail history. As the founder and long-serving CEO of L Brands, he built a business empire that at its peak encompassed Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, and several other major consumer brands, making him a billionaire and one of the most influential entrepreneurs of the late 20th century. Based in Columbus, Ohio, Wexner transformed what began as a single women's clothing store opened in 1963 into a global retail conglomerate. His tenure at L Brands spanned more than five decades, and he remains a significant philanthropist and civic figure in the Columbus area through the Wexner Foundation and various community initiatives.
When it comes to watches, the Leslie Wexner watch collection reflects a preference for genuine mechanical complexity rather than brand prestige alone. Wexner has been spotted wearing the Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30° Technique Black — a piece that sits at the outer edge of what independent watchmaking currently produces. The watch features a DLC-coated titanium case in a deep matte black finish, housing Greubel Forsey's signature double tourbillon system, in which two tourbillon cages are inclined at 30 degrees to one another to more effectively counteract the effects of gravity across multiple positions. It is not a watch chosen for visibility or immediate recognition; most people in a room would not identify it on sight.
That choice tells you something concrete about Wexner's collecting orientation. Greubel Forsey produces only a few hundred watches per year across all references, and the Double Tourbillon 30° Technique Black is among the more technically demanding pieces in that already limited output. For a collector of Wexner's means, the selection of this particular reference over more immediately legible luxury options suggests a focus on the engineering and craft of the movement rather than on social signaling.

The Greubel Forsey Double Tourbillon 30° Technique in black DLC-coated titanium is one of haute horlogerie's most technically audacious constructions — two tourbillon cages, one inclined at 30°, work in tandem to average out gravitational error across multiple axes. Retailing north of £440,000, it is a watch that demands serious mechanical literacy from its owner. Leslie Wexner, the founder and longest-serving CEO of L Brands, demonstrates precisely that, appearing with this skeletonized masterpiece casually strapped to his wrist at a public event.
