Watches at the 2024 Oscars: From Roger Federer’s Rolex to Teo Yoo’s Cartier
Some of the most hyped watches seen at the 96th Academy Awards.
Just like the fashion on the red carpet, what the celebrities wear on their wrists during award season garner just as much attention. At the 96th Academy Awards held on Mar 11 (Monday), Singapore time, Hollywood’s leading men turned up the wattage with some of the most coveted (and expensive) watches.
Here’s a list of who wore what.
ROGER FEDERER: DAYTONA LE MANS BY ROLEX
Released in 2023 for the 100th anniversary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, this version of Daytona Le Mans brings to mind the Daytonas of the 1960s, affectionately nicknamed the Paul Newman Daytonas, because the late actor-turned-racer was often photographed with the timepiece on his wrist.
ROBERT DOWNEY JR: REVERSO TRIBUTE CHRONOGRAPH BY JAEGER-LECOULTRE
Still one of the most beloved dress watches available today, the Reverso Tribute Chronograph, inspired by the Art Deco era, combines elegance with good looks – just like Downey. The striking pink gold case is a nice compliment to his best supporting actor gold Oscars statue for Oppenheimer.
MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY: JEAN BUGATTI BY JACOB & CO
Only 57 pieces available worldwide, this limited-edition watch draws inspiration from the dashboard of – what else? – a Bugatti.
SIMU LIU: THE WORLD IS YOURS DUAL TIME ZONE BY JACOB & CO
This exquisite timepiece is covered in blue diamonds and gold continents. Definitely not one for subtlety.
RYAN GOSLING: CARRERA PLASMA BY TAG HEUER
Not surprisingly, this watch has a pink diamond on the dial and the crown.
BRADLEY COOPER: TAMBOUR BY LOUIS VUITTON
Not only did Bradley Cooper walk the red carpet decked out in Louis Vuitton finery, he also sported a S$76,500 (US$57,500) Tambour in rose gold.
KE HUY QUAN: SANTOS-DUMONT MICRO-ROTOR BY CARTIER
This model was released in 2023 and features a micro-rotor calibre comprising 212 components that took almost two years to develop.
TEO YOO: PASHA DE CARTIER BY CARTIER
Pashe de Cartier made its debut in 1985 but it still looks modern and elegant.
