Celebrity Watches Showcase
Robert Downey Jr.: Cartier Santos-Dumont
Robert Downey Jr. showcased a blend of Givenchy elegance with Cartier sophistication at the third Academy Museum Gala. His eye-catching Santos-Dumont timepiece (Ref. WGSA0053) debuted at Watches & Wonders last year, symbolizing a tribute to Alberto Santos-Dumont, the visionary behind Cartier's inaugural men's watch in 1904. Crafted with a platinum 43 mm case in a rare burgundy lacquer finish, it features a refined white dial adorned with silver Roman numerals and a ruby cabochon on the beaded crown. The signature of Santos-Dumont graces its caseback, marking this exclusive model, limited to only 150 units and no longer in production. Although it's a rare find, this collector's item can typically be acquired on the resale market for approximately $28,000.
Lenny Kravitz: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso
At the recent Academy Museum Gala, Lenny Kravitz blended edgy leather fashion with timeless elegance, courtesy of Jaeger-LeCoultre. His choice? The new Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon (Ref. Q392242J), a nod to the classic 1930s models. This exquisite timepiece features a sleek silver dial on one side, emphasizing the movement's prominence. Flip it over, and the reverse dial reveals a striking, partially skeletonized design against a black sunray-brushed backdrop. Launched earlier this year, this dual-faced marvel comes at a price of $139,000, essentially delivering two watches in a single masterful creation.
Taylor Perez: TAG Heuer Carrera
Taylor Zakhar Perez made a statement at the Academy Museum Gala by sporting the latest from TAG Heuer. Embracing a contemporary twist on the original “glass box” Carrera from the 1960s, the Kissing Booth actor flaunted a timepiece (CBS2240.FC8319) fresh off the shelves, released just this October. Crafted with a 39 mm case and a solid 18-karat gold dial, this luxurious rendition of the iconic racer, priced at $21,500, proved to be the perfect accessory for the red carpet.
Travis Scott: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak
Travis Scott recently introduced a chocolate-themed Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar, drawing inspiration from his record label, Cactus Jack. While impressive, it doesn't quite match the exclusivity of the unique version he sported at the AP party commemorating the collaboration. This exceptional variant features a dazzling "rainbow" bezel adorned with 32 multi-colored sapphires, a design exclusively crafted for the rapper. However, enthusiasts can acquire the brown edition for $201,000.
Stormzy: Rolex Daytona
Stormzy might have opted for a relatively understated look at the British Fashion Awards, but his choice of accessories was anything but ordinary. The "Vossi Bop" rapper paired his Prada America’s Cup sneakers with a Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116505) that’s anything but conventional. This eye-catching timepiece boasts a 40 mm Everose gold case adorned with a rainbow collection of sapphires on its bezel. What makes it truly stand out, though, are the after-market diamonds embellishing the bracelet, dial, and case. Such customized luxury watches, often modified after purchase from authorized dealers, can fetch a substantial price on the resale market—there's one available for $85,600 on 1st Dibs if you're inclined to explore.
Jay Ellis: Rolex Datejust 41
At the Academy Museum Gala, Insecure star Jay Ellis dazzled in an embellished double-breasted Fendi blazer, perfectly complemented by a Rolex Datejust 41 (Ref. 126334). This sophisticated timepiece boasts a 41 mm case crafted from Oystersteel and white gold (Rolesor), featuring the iconic fluted bezel and the classic Jubilee bracelet—a design initially created for the launch of the Datejust in 1945. Rolesor, blending steel and gold, has adorned Rolexes since the ‘30s. The watch adorns a striking black dial, accentuated by a date aperture at 3 o'clock, and can be yours for $10,700.
Barry Keoghan: Omega Seamaster
Barry Keoghan of Saltburn fame sported an impeccable Omega watch, flawlessly complementing his striking Givenchy ensemble at this year’s Academy Museum Gala. The elegant Seamaster Planet Ocean, boasting an almost monochromatic aesthetic, harmonized perfectly with the actor’s olive attire. Featuring a black ceramic case and bezel, adorned with a white enamel diving scale, the watch’s black ceramic dial contrasts elegantly with its 18-karat white-gold numerals, indexes, and hands, complete with a date window at 3 o’clock. Beyond its style, this robust chronometer offers water resistance up to 600 meters (2,000 feet). At $11,200, it’s a timepiece that combines sophistication with resilience, ready for any deep-sea adventure Keoghan might embark upon in his free time.
