Haute horology that shone on the red carpet
Icons of craftsmanship and style, these timepieces elevated the red carpet with timeless elegance.
On cinema’s biggest night, elegance is measured in details. Beyond impeccably tailored tuxedos and silk lapels, there is one accessory that defines style with the same precision it marks time: the watch. The 2025 Oscars not only celebrated cinematic excellence but also the artistry of fine watchmaking, with timepieces that added an extra layer of sophistication to the red carpet.
Time as a statement of style
From Jaeger-LeCoultre to Vacheron Constantin, the most exclusive brands found their place on the wrists of actors, elevating each ensemble with their timeless craftsmanship. This year, the watches reflected a clear trend: the balance between tradition and innovation. Iconic models reimagined, high-level complications, and exquisite materials were the silent protagonists of the evening.
The most dazzling timepieces of the night
1.Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar
Andrew Garfield embraced understated sophistication with the Reverso Tribute Duoface Calendar in rose gold, a watch that embodies duality with its double dial and complete calendar mechanism. Perfectly complementing his chocolate-toned suit, Garfield’s choice reaffirms how fine watchmaking enhances personal style with subtlety and character.
2.Vacheron Constantin 222
A timepiece with history, reinterpreted for the present. Edward Norton opted for the Vacheron Constantin 222, a model that revives the essence of 1970s sports watches with impeccable stainless steel construction and a deep navy dial. A nod to effortless elegance.
3.Richard Mille RM 74-02
Jeremy Strong took contemporary watchmaking to another level with the RM 74-02 by Richard Mille, a technical marvel with a skeletonized heart and a bold, avant-garde spirit. A choice that challenges conventions and, when worn in the right measure, adds an intriguing contrast to the event’s classic aesthetic.
4.Panerai Luminor Marina
The balance between robustness and elegance was perfectly embodied in Dave Bautista’s choice: a Panerai Luminor Marina in yellow gold. With its iconic oversized case and nautical-inspired design, this watch exudes a distinctive presence without sacrificing sophistication—an ideal combination for those who seek impact without excess.
5.Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch
Colman Domingo opted for an enduring classic: the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, in a Canopus Gold 18K edition with baguette diamond details. A testament to how a timepiece with history can be reinvented with renewed brilliance.
More than an accessory, each watch on the red carpet was a statement of style, a reflection of the personality of its wearer. From the timeless appeal of Jaeger-LeCoultre to the bold technicality of Richard Mille, haute horology remains an unshakable symbol of distinction. Because in a world where time is everything, wearing it with elegance is an art in itself.
