Jacob Trouba: From NHL Star to Artist, Philanthropist & Watch Collector

In the latest Collectability Podcast, Jacob Trouba sits down with John Reardon to talk about how watches have become part of marking milestones in his life, and why his growing Patek Philippe collection means so much to him.

Jacob Trouba is more than one of hockey’s toughest players—he’s also a visual artist, philanthropist, and watch enthusiast. In this podcast, John Reardon visits Trouba in Newport Beach, CA, his new home after joining the Anaheim Ducks following a successful career with the New York Rangers. Trouba reflects on his journey to becoming a respected NHL defenseman and leader, his unique art created with skates, sticks, and gear, and his philanthropic work with his wife, physician Kelly Tyson. Together they’ve championed initiatives such as Hockey Fights Cancer and launched the Trouba Creative Expressions Program, offering art opportunities to adults with epilepsy. As a new watch collector, Trouba shares how marking milestones with timepieces has become part of his life. He discusses his growing Patek Philippe collection and his appreciation for their history and craftsmanship.
