Kanye West is celebrating himself with his latest jewelry purchase. Watch maker Tiret has made Kanye a special timepiece that features the emcee’s face.  According to Luxist.com, the rapper paid 180-thousand-dollars for the watch, which took more than five months to create.  Kanye’s new watch is 18 karat gold, and includes more than eight karats of yellow, black, brown and white diamonds that were used to create his image.  Kanye isn’t the first artist to pay big bucks to have his image included on a Tiret watch.  R&B singer Usher is said to have paid 250-thousand-dollars to be able to see his face whenever he checks the time.

West made headlines earlier this week when he released the song “H.A.M.” with fellow rap star Jay-Z.  The track is the first single off their upcoming album, “Watch The Throne,” which will reportedly drop in March.
