Dwayne Johnson: IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson made a powerful statement at the Variety Creative Impact Awards with his IWC Portugieser. This 44.2 mm red-gold watch boasts a silver dial, featuring indicators for the date, day, month, and year, along with a perpetual moon phase display. The automatic movement offers an impressive seven-day power reserve, and the moon phase display requires adjustment only once every 577.5 years! A true testament to precision and power, this timepiece retails for $52,700.
Chris Pratt: Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium
Chris Pratt, known for his Panerai and IWC collections, surprised us with a Hublot Big Bang Unico this week. Released in 2018, this 42 mm watch is a sleek alternative to the original 44 mm model. With a titanium case and a black skeleton dial, it showcases the self-winding movement. The "open heart" HUB1280 Unico provides a 72-hour power reserve and a chronograph system with a flyback function. Priced at $22,800, it's a bold choice for the actor.
Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal: Cartier Tank LC
Jacob Elordi and Paul Mescal both embraced the tall-guy-small-watch trend at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards. Elordi, a newly appointed Cartier ambassador, wore a $14,800 Tank Louis Cartier with a green lacquered dial and alligator strap. Meanwhile, Paul Mescal, also an ambassador, opted for his signature Tank Louis Cartier, featuring an 18-karat yellow gold case and a minimalist black dial. Both watches are priced at $14,800.
Stephen Graham: Rolex Daytona
Stephen Graham's Rolex Daytona is a legend in its own right. Produced between 2000 and 2016, this model (Ref. 116520) revolutionized the brand with its in-house Caliber 4130 movement, giving Rolex independence in chronograph production. With a sleek steel-on-steel design and a simple white dial, it's a timeless piece. Pre-owned examples can be found for around $25,000.
Colman Domingo: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra
Colman Domingo's red carpet look at the Los Angeles screening of Dead Man's Wire was a sight to behold. He paired a Zenga ensemble with Boucheron jewelry and his trusted Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra. Released in 2024, this watch has a simple black lacquered dial without the typical "teak" pattern. Available in 41, 38, or 34 mm stainless-steel cases, the 41 mm model comes with a Caliber 8900 movement and retails for $7,000.
Connor Storrie: Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold
Connor Storrie, the star of Heated Rivalry, announced the 32nd Annual Actor Awards Nominations at SAG-AFTRA in L.A. wearing a Hublot Classic Fusion King Gold. This 38 mm watch features the Swiss watchmaker's signature 18-karat rose-gold alloy, creating a warm and regal look. The black sunray dial is complemented by King Gold hands and markers.
