A Night Of Luxury: Amazing Timepieces Spotted At The 96th Academy Awards

The much-anticipated 2024 Oscars concluded on March 10 with big wins by the likes of Poor Things, Anatomy of a Fall, Oppenheimer and more. Of course, alongside watching whose winning, we are also on the lookout for luxury watches adorned by our favourite celebrities. We spotted beautiful ladies Anya Taylor-Joy and Da’Vine Joy Randolph in Jaeger-LeCoultre and Omega, respectively. Last year’s Best Actor winner, Brendan Fraser, wore an Omega Constellation, while Jeffrey Wright, nominated this year for the Best Actor, came in Omega De Ville Trésor. Here are the best celebrity watch spottings at the 2024 Oscars.

Ryan Gosling in TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma Diamant d’Avant Garde

As Ryan Gosling graced the Oscars red carpet, his custom Gucci suit was accompanied by the stunning TAG Heuer Carrera Plasma Diamant D’Avant Garde. The actor, who electrified audiences with his show-stopping performance of “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie, donned the exquisite TAG Heuer both on the red carpet and during his performance.

This timepiece is a testament to TAG Heuer’s mastery of avant-garde design and technical prowess. The striking dial inside the 36mm 18k white gold case features indexes meticulously set with baguette-cut, lab-grown white diamonds. Yet, the true pièce de résistance is the shield-shaped pink diamond strategically placed below the iconic Carrera logo, a subtle nod to Gosling’s role as the irrepressible Ken.

Matthew McConaughey’s Jacob & Co. Jean Bugatti 

Matthew McConaughey decorated the Oscars 2024 as a prestigious presenter of the Best Actor. His attire on the red carpet wasn’t just alright, alright, alright. He made a bold fashion statement by accessorising his brown and black Versace tuxedo with a Jacob & Co. Jean Bugatti. The exquisite watch features a dual structure composed of 470 components. Distinctively designed time-keeping part possessed a peripheral time display with a dedicated barrel and twin tourbillons. It manifests brilliance with another digital minute display. The technical environment of the Swiss movement JCFM09 consists of a combination of springs, levers, clutches, and mirror-polished bridges.

Robert Downey Jr’s Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph 

Robert Downey Jr was honoured at the Oscars 2024 with the Best Supporting Actor award for his impeccable part in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. Gracing the red carpet night with his signature charm and style, Robert accessorised his wrist with a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph. Inspired by the original Reverso watches of the 1930s, Downey’s Reverso in pink gold perfectly complemented his all-black Saint Laurent suit. Also, Tiffany & Co.’s Elsa Peretti Amapola brooch on the lapel certainly elevated his accessory game to a new level.

Dwayne Johnson In Bulgari Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT 

Dwayne Johnson gave a rocking entry on the Oscar red carpet as a presenter. His presence was made more prominent with one of the world’s slimmest self-winding watches on his wrist—the Bulgari Finissimo Chronograph. Despite its sleek look, it houses a high-performance automatic movement that powers accurate and precise chronograph and GMT functions. It comes with an octagonally structured case cast in lightweight and durable titanium. The uniqueness of Finissimo is reflected in the transparent caseback, and the watch offers a power reserve capacity of around 55 hours.

Cillian Murphy In Omega De Ville Prestige

Cillian Murphy won the Best Actor award for Oppenheimer at the 2024 Oscars

A classic and elegant Omega De Ville Prestige became the closest witness of Cillian Murphy’s first Academy win. Winner of the Best Actor award for Oppenheimer, Murphy wore a custom Atelier Versace suit and accessorised it with a Sauvereign brooch and the charming Omega De Ville. The 41mm steel watch with a teal dial boasts a date window at six o’clock and a second sub-dial at nine. The blue leather strap completes the watch with a contemporary appeal.

Simu Liu In Jacob and Co. The World is Yours Dual Time Zone

As Simu Liu arrived on the Oscars red carpet, his impeccable Fendi tuxedo was complemented by Jacob & Co.’s “The World Is Yours” Dual Time Zone timepiece. This exceptional watch is a heartfelt homage to Jacob Arabo’s watchmaking origins, embodying the passionate spirit that has defined his illustrious career.

The centrepiece of this timepiece is its striking three-dimensional dial. Crafted meticulously, the lacquered blue oceans provide a stunning backdrop for the rose gold continents, each sculpted with intricate precision. This artistic rendering is a nod to the vintage dual time zone watch received by Jacob Arabo from his father at the tender age of 13 — the catalyst that ignited his lifelong love affair with watchmaking.

Beneath its alluring exterior lies the self-winding calibre JCAA11, a remarkable movement that allows the wearer to track two independent time zones with unparalleled accuracy. This innovative feature is particularly significant for globetrotters like Liu!

Cord Jefferson In Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional 

The night was certainly memorable for Cord Jefferson, who entered the Oscars Hall of Fame with his acceptance of the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for his groundbreaking work on American Fiction. However, as memorable as it was for him, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional on his wrist grabbed our attention as he gave his acceptance speech.

The 42mm stainless steel case, featuring a polished and brushed finish, houses the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 3861, a movement that has been rigorously tested to meet the highest standards of precision and magnetic resistance. Driving the small seconds sub-dial, 30-minute recorder, 12-hour recorder, and the iconic central chronograph function, this exceptional calibre is a paragon of Swiss watchmaking excellence. The white lacquered step dial, inspired by the 4th generation Speedmaster worn on the moon, is a study in functional elegance. With applied Omega logo and indexes, Moonwatch-style hands, and the famous dot over 90 on the black anodized aluminium bezel ring, every detail pays homage to the timepiece’s storied legacy.
