Leyla Milani — watch collection

About Leyla Milani’s watch collection

Leyla Milani is a Canadian-American model, television personality, and entrepreneur who first gained widespread recognition as a briefcase model on the long-running game show Deal or No Deal. Born in Vancouver, she built a career that moved well beyond television, transitioning into fashion, lifestyle branding, and business. Her most notable entrepreneurial venture is Leyla Milani Hair, a direct-to-consumer hair extensions and care brand she founded and continues to run. That combination of media profile and business ownership has placed her firmly in a circle where luxury goods — watches included — are part of the everyday visual language.

The Leyla Milani watch collection, as captured on our radar, leans decisively toward jewellery-forward horology. The one confirmed sighting in our database places her wearing Jacob & Co, a brand that sits at the intersection of haute joaillerie and watchmaking. Specifically, she was spotted with the Fleurs De Jardin Pink Sapphires, reference AF321.40.BA.AF.A — a 101-piece limited edition built on an 18-karat rose gold case measuring 42.5mm. The bezel and inner ring are set with 48 pink sapphires, and the overall aesthetic reads closer to a wearable jewellery installation than a conventional watch. Jacob & Co is a deliberate brand choice: founded by Jacob Arabo in New York, it has long been the go-to for celebrities who want something that registers immediately and sits apart from mainstream Swiss luxury.

What the choice of the Fleurs De Jardin reveals is a preference for pieces with visual density and craft that goes beyond mere brand recognition. This is not a watch someone picks because it is safe or expected — it is a limited-edition release with a specific botanical motif and a price point that reflects its gemstone complexity. For a founder who has built a brand around aesthetics and femininity, the alignment with Jacob & Co's more sculptural, gem-set output makes coherent sense.
