There’s been no shortage of thumb-stopping watch moments this week, with celebrities donning some serious wristcandy on the red carpets of premieres including Marvel’s ‘Fantastic Four’ and Johnny Depp’s ‘Modigliani’. Elsewhere, Jaeger-LeCoultre announced Zhang Ziyi as its latest brand ambassador, taking the opportunity to launch a boldly feminine new Rendez-Vous, while Breitling paid tribute to the Super Bowl LIX winning team with a new model, as worn by Jalen Hurts.
But we kick things off with a glimpse into the watch wardrobe of one of rock’s most iconic figures, Ozzy Osbourne, who sadly passed away yesterday.
Best celebrity watches this week
Ozzy Osbourne
The rock world is in mourning today after Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne passed away. The Prince of Darkness was an icon of heavy metal, and even heavier jewellery – including a noteworthy watch collection. Here he’s captured wearing a Franck Muller Cintree Curvex with an 18K gold case and bracelet with a factory set diamond bezel.
David Corenswet
On the ‘Superman: Legacy’ circuit, David Corenswet caused a stir with eagle-eyed comic fans who spotted a 1908 yellow gold Rolex model on the actor’s wrist. The timepiece is worn in reference to his character Clark Kent’s day job at the Metropolis newspaper, the Daily Plane – a building topped by a huge golden globe. A switch-up from the Cartier Tank model he’s worn of late, the rest of his look also nodded to Kent’s first appearance in Action Comics #1 (1938) in which he wears a similar pinstripe look, even down to the pocket square.

Hailey Bieber
Hailey Bieber may have gifted her husband Justin (or should we say Lil) an Audemars Piguet for Father’s Day, but she’s no stranger to the style herself. Taking to social media, she wore her Royal Oak Mini Frosted Gold Quartz – a model quickly becoming the ubiquitous symbol of ‘It Girl’. Spotlighted by its detailed hammering to the case, the petite 23mm watch is powered by the high-quality quartz caliber 2730 with a seven-year battery life.
