Controversial footballer Emmanuel Adebayor may not seem to be in a hurry to find a new club, but he has found the time to accumulate a quite stunning collection of luxury watches.
The Togo striker left Tottenham in September, but is still picking up £100,000-a-week in wages.
And Adebayor is wasting no time spending his earnings as he showed off his luxury collection of time pieces suped-up by New Bond Street jewellers Frost of London.
The watches - in a storage box- show different times because many are automatic movement pieces meaning they require the owner to wear them to wind them up.
Emmanuel Adebayor's collection of 12 personalised watches was posted on Instagram by Frost of London. MailOnline has added the retail prices. The watches - in a storage box- show different times because many are automatic movement pieces meaning they require the owner to wear them to wind them up

The most expensive time piece owned by the former Manchester City striker, who has daughter Kendra, five, is the Hublot Big Bang King Power Chrono Tourbillon, with a retail price of up to £100,000.
Posting alongside the picture of 12 high-end watches the striker wrote: 'SEA, haters are gonna hate. Imma do me no matter what. The SEA collection by @josephfrostoflondon.'
The jeweller in London's west end has also designed watches for the likes of Jose Mourinho, Mesut Ozil and Justin Beiber.

It's not just his watch collection the 31-year-old has been showing off during his sabbatical from football.
Adebayor, who was a BBC World Cup 2010 pundit, had been pictured alongside classic cars and enjoying himself by the pool while relaxing in Ghana and Togo.
Two months ago he also posted a photograph of him relaxing by a pool, with the caption 'relaxing by the pool side on a Sunday morning and enjoying some good music'.
But more recently the striker has shown his desire to get back on the pitch, posting several videos and pictures of himself working out.
The former Spurs man has hired a personal trainer in his bid to get in a shape for a return to football
Having travelled to England in a bid to find a new club, the former Arsenal and Real Madrid forward has now returned to Africa and hired a personal trainer as he searches for a new employer.
Adebayor, who was named the Confederation of African Football's Player of the Year 2008, is completing double sessions, focusing on fitness work in the morning before moving on to ball work in the afternoon.
In May this year, the footballer was also allowed to return to his home in an attempt to sort out the family problems which had plagued his season.
It came after Adebayor took to Facebook to claim that his brothers, Kola and Peter, once held a knife to his throat in order to extort money from him during his time at Monaco.
He also revealed that he had contemplated committing suicide 'many times' and that his sister Iyabo would often have to convince him not to kill himself.
It was after a training session with Monaco that Adebayor returned home and woke to find a knife held against him by his two brothers, who had previously arrived at his apartment uninvited.
Adebayor phoned his mother, Alice, before contacting the police, which he later claims was held against him by his family as he was accused of being a 'bad person' for doing so.
The striker is now hoping to relaunch his Premier League career next month after four months without a club.
In September he parted company with Spurs - where he earned an estimated £170,000-a-week after falling out of favour.
A club statement read: 'We can confirm that we have reached a mutual agreement with Emmanuel Adebayor which will see him released from his contract with the Club.'
Adebayor also confirmed his departure on Twitter: 'I can confirm that I have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur to terminate my contract.I wish to thank the club and the fans for my time there and I wish them well for the forthcoming season'
The striker, who scored 42 times for Spurs since joining, initially on loan from Manchester City, in 2011, will not however be allowed to sign for another club until January.
He was close to joining Aston Villa in the summer transfer window but decided against a move to the Midlands.
Watford are understood to be keen on signing Adebayor.
In February this year he arrived in style when he drove a £360,000 Rolls-Royce to the Tottenham's Enfield base.
Adebayor posted a picture to his official Instagram page of him standing next to the Phantom Drophead Coupe model.
