During an episode of Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, ‘Khloé in Wonderland,’ Kim Kardashian opened up about a jaw-dropping auction purchase, a Cartier watch once owned by the legendary Jackie Kennedy Onassis, and allegedly cursed.
The iconic timepiece, steeped in history and whispered misfortune, immediately caught Kardashian’s eye. But what started as a glamorous collector’s dream quickly turned into a conversation about curses, tragedy, and the weight of owning a piece of history.
A watch with a dark past:
Kim explained that after she bought the watch at auction, someone reached out with a warning, “You cannot accept that watch… The watch is cursed.” Curious, she asked, “Really? Okay. Well, what happens?”
The answer was a chilling pattern. “The spouse or the husband of whoever women or like male closest to the person that gets that watch has passed away soon after,” she was told.
Kim then walked listeners through the lineage of misfortune tied to the watch. “It went down the line of Jackie getting the watch. JFK had passed, gave it to her, I think Lee, I think her husband passed, gave it to her son. Her son got the watch. He passed. Kim left it to his wife. His wife gave it to her best friend to keep in her safe. The best friend’s husband passed.”

Kim’s ultimate decision:
Despite her initial excitement, Kim ultimately decided not to bring the watch home. “I never received it. I said, ‘Please don’t send it to my home’… A watch like this that is culturally important actually deserves to be with the House of Cartier… it wouldn’t belong to a person. It would belong to their catalog.”
