Introduction to Richard Dinan



Richard Dinan first came to public attention as a cast member on E4's Made in Chelsea, the reality series that followed the social lives of wealthy young Londoners. Since those early television appearances, Dinan has built a career that sits far outside the entertainment world: he is the founder and CEO of Applied Fusion Systems, a privately funded company working to develop compact fusion reactor technology. That pivot from television personality to deep-tech entrepreneur has made him one of the more unusual figures to emerge from the British reality TV circuit, and his public profile now rests as much on his work in clean energy as on any screen credit.

The Richard Dinan watch collection, as far as sightings allow us to document it, points to a man with a focused rather than scattershot approach to horology. Dinan has been spotted wearing Hublot — specifically one of the rarest references in the brand's King Power line. The watch in question is the King Power 'Special One' Blue Carbon, reference 701.OQ.0138.GR.SPO14, a limited edition produced in collaboration with José Mourinho during his tenure as Chelsea FC manager. Mourinho's 'Special One' nickname provided the concept, the Blue Carbon case and dial provide the visual identity, and a global production run of just 100 pieces provides the scarcity. It is not the kind of watch you stumble across at retail.

That a single confirmed sighting centres on a 100-piece limited edition says something practical about Dinan's collecting instincts. Rather than accumulating volume, he appears drawn to pieces with a concrete backstory and genuine rarity — the King Power 'Special One' checks both boxes. The Chelsea connection, given his Made in Chelsea background, may or may not be coincidental, but the watch itself would hold its own regardless of any personal narrative attached to it.

Limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, the Hublot King Power 'Special One' ref. 701.OQ.0138.GR.SPO14 is one of the most visually aggressive football-themed timepieces ever produced, built around a 48mm blue carbon fiber case that makes it nearly impossible to ignore. The watch was created in collaboration with José Mourinho during his tenure as Chelsea FC manager, blending haute horlogerie with the Premier League's celebrity orbit. Made in Chelsea reality TV personality and entrepreneur Richard Dinan was recently spotted on the wrist with this ultra-rare piece.
