This week’s celebs
Nicholas Hoult
Brand ambassador Nicholas Hoult wore Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon watch at the premiere of Nosferatu in Berlin this week. Blacked out in suitably vampy fashion, it takes inspiration from the spirit of models from the early 1930s.
Lewis Hamilton
IWC Schaffhausen gifted Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team driver Lewis Hamilton with a Top Gun Perpetual Calendar Boutique edition watch in celebration of their 11-year partnership.
After finishing his final race with Mercedes in Abu Dhabi, the British driver was presented the watch, which was designed for the Top Gun Fighter Weapons School and features a personalized caseback in tribute to his aeronautical interests.
Joe Jonas
American Actor and Singer Joe Jonas was spotting wearing the new Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Carbon SR_A by Samuel Ross to the Hublot x SR_A 3.0 launch party in Miami. Limited to just 50 pieces, the timepiece features a striking honeycomb pattern, blue colorway and a fusion of rubber and carbon materials.
Colman Domingo
Colman Domingo wore Cartier to the 34th Annual Gotham Awards last week. Considered the warm up to the Oscars in March, the Rustin and Euphoria actor opted for a large Cartier Tank Louis watch in 18k yellow gold with a rich red leather strap and matching dial.
Elle Fanning
Another of Cartier’s brand ambassadors, actor Elle Fanning wore the brand’s small Tank Must watch to The Wrap’s 2024 WrapWomen Power Women Summit in Los Angeles. A classic with a black leather strap, the understated piece perfectly complemented her black look.
Mark Zuckerberg
The father of social media Mark Zuckerberg set his platforms ablaze when he was spotted wearing a Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ultra COSC watch in an Instagram video this week.
Extremely exclusive with only 20 pieces produced, it has a remarkable thickness of just 1.70mm – currently the second-thinnest watch in the world, trailing only Konstantin Chaykin’s ThinKing at 1.65mm.
Oscar Isaac
The 34th Annual Gotham Awards certainly made for good horological viewing, with American actor Oscar Isaac wearing a Tiffany & Co. Union Square 30mm Mechanical watch in yellow gold. With an elegant black alligator leather strap, it’s worth an impressive $16,500.
Robert Downey Jr.
Legendary actor Robert Downey Jr. attended the 2024 American Cinematheque Awards in Los Angeles, wearing the Gerald Charles Maestro 8.0 Squelette watch. Featuring a stainless steel case, it has a grey rubber strap, satin-finished and rhodium-plated open-worked bridges, and yellow-gold wheels. Very Ironman.
Joseph Quinn
IWC gets another mention in our roundup, with Gladiator 2 actor Joseph Quinn recently wearing the new Ingenieur Automatic 40 (ref. IW328907) during the 27th British Independent Film Awards in London. Inspired by the original 1950s dress watch, it features a striking blue dial in a 40mm stainless steel case.
Chris Briney
A final Gothams observation, actor Chris Briney was spotted wearing Omega’s De Ville Prestige watch. With a black alligator leather strap, steel case, and contrasting gold hands and indices, it was the perfect finishing touch to his black tie look.
