From Omega To Cartier, Here's Our Roundup Of The Best Looking Watches At The Emmys 2024

A New Year and a new era of filmmaking and horology. Who ever said the twain shall never meet? So, as the book is firmly shut on The 2024 Golden Globes, we turn our peepers to the Emmy Awards to see which red carpet actors, films and TV shows deserve to have their names in lights. Oh and the watches of course!

After the 2023 Emmy Awards was delayed, this year's event brought more anticipation than another Moonswatch release…We can’t forget to mention the latest spawning before Christmas, the “Cold Moon Snowflake”. Supposed to be the final Moonshine model of 2023, it features a cool gold alloy that gives a slight blue tint. Oh yes, it also has a MoonShine Gold seconds hand! Could it be a Tudor homage? Or perhaps Swatch wanted to line their pockets before the festive period…

Back to the Emmys and there were a lot of eye rolls, as predicted winners stormed the event. Brilliant spectacles like Succession featuring renowned actor Brian Cox (more on him later) won several awards including Best Drama Series and Best Actor in a Drama Series.

Interestingly, other stars outside of filmmaking like Elton John stepped up to take a few awards of his own. He has now accomplished the storied EGOT pattern, wherein the person in question has won an Emmy Awards, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award. Yes, Elton. You may not be an egotist but you’re still standing!

Other great TV spectacles like The White Lotus stepped up with Jennifer Coolidge receiving Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series while Nick Offerman won Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series for The Last Of Us.

With The Emmys done and the Golden Globes terminated until 2025 (Pardon Arnie, we couldn’t make passing reference to the former Governator being stopped at Munich airport for not paying tax on a luxury Audemars Piguet) don’t feel deflated for a second.

A wave of films like Millers Girl and The Beekeeper are two great films already lined up for 2024. For TV show fanatics, series 2 of The Tourist will be released alongside series 2 of The Traitors which has been a smash hit for the BBC. Something else that’s not to be missed is Chrono Hunter’s definitive guide below, covering all major winners from this year's swanky event.

Donald Glover

Taking place at the Peacock theatre, Los Angeles, Mr Glover didn’t have any awards to pick up from the red carpet at the 75th Emmy Awards. Nevertheless, let’s not forget that the musician and actor has a solid supply of awards under his belt.

In the music world, the man is known for winning Grammy Award for Song of the Year, Award For Best Music Video and Best Melodic Rap Performance in 2019 for This is America. His acting roles encompass Golden Globes awards for Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for Atlanta, as well as Emmy Awards such as Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series

Yet us horophiles were sidetracked by a ravishing red Cartier displayed on his wrist which added a pop to his black ensemble.

Cartier Tank Louis

Case Diameter - 33.7mm
Water Resistance - 30 metres
Reference - WGTA0190
Colour - Red Lacquer
Calibre - 1917 MC
Power Reserve - 38 hours
Material - Yellow Gold

Released during Watches and Wonders 2023, the watch has steamrolled into the position of one of the hottest dress watches of the moment. Inspired by F-17 Renault Tanks after Louis Cartier’s stint in the Western Front during WWI, the design closely imitates the branchards of tanks from a birds eye view.

Source - Cartier

Crafted out of yellow gold, fitted with a gorgeous cabochon crown on the right side and sized at 33.7mm, the beautiful red lacquer dial is a fantastic contrast and allows the yellow hands to stand out. No hour markers here, this is pure Cartier minimalism at its finest!

Powered by the Calibre 1917MC, the watches offer for us a mediocre 38 hour power reserve and a 3Hz frequency. Donald Glover opts to wear this beauty with a black, Japanese inspired outfit with floral patterns. You don’t have to be so brave, and can opt to wear a classic black suit.

You can buy a Cartier Tank Louis at retail for £12,500 as of January 2024

Other Watches Worn By Donald Glover

Donald Glover is a bit of a fashion icon, meaning his desk drawers are filled with some of the finest timepieces around. Below are a few honourable mentions:

Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi reference 16700BLRO - Crafted out of steel, the watches are 40mm and fixed with an Oyster bracelet. Given a red/blue bezel earning the Pepsi nickname, the timepieces have a black dial with dotted hour markers.
IWC Portofino Chronograph reference IW391021 - Crafted in a rose gold case, the watches feature a black dial and have rose gold hour markers and hands. Featuring chronograph functionality, they are the perfect dress timepiece.

Nicholas Braun

Time for some brains and brawn! After narrowly missing out on the Award for Best Supporting Actor in his role in Succession to other actor Matthew Macfayden (in the same film!), Nicholas Braun didn’t seem too downbeat on the red carpet in his blacked out tux.

He’s no stranger to awards either. Winning Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, his time is yet to come for his individual brilliance to shine. I hear the Screen Actors Guild Awards is around the corner. Anyway, we can’t sit back and not take note of his wrist worthy Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph in all its complexity and elegance.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph

Case Diameter - 42.5mm
Water Resistance - 150 metres
Reference - 5520V/210A-B481
Colour - Black
Calibre - 5200
Power Reserve - 52 hours
Material - Steel

As part of the Overseas collection that runs back to 1996, the watches can be deemed by some to be the ultimate luxury sports timepiece. Crafted out of steel, they are given the iconic Maltese cross style bezel and highly prominent pushers and crown on the right side.

They utilise a black dial alongside highly contrasting silvered sub-counters. This inverse panda style is a rarity and certainly a solid selling point! Fitted with silvered hour markers and hands, the face is made up of three sub-counters and a date aperture located between 4 and 5 o’clock.

Powered by the 5200 movement, the Hallmark Of Geneva certified watches offer a 52 power reserve and a 28,800VpH. Given a black rubber strap, Nicholas Braun makes this Overseas work effortlessly alongside a slicked back black tux.

Nicholas Braun has an attractive portfolio of watches that even made their way onto Succession!

Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust reference 116334 - Crafted out of steel, the watches feature a fluted bezel and a diamond hour marker dial. Built onto a black dial, the watches feature a date aperture at 3 o’clock which is covered by a Cyclops eye.
Rolex Submariner reference 126610LN - Crafted out of Oyster Steel, the watches have a black bezel and dial. Superlative Chronometer certified, you can receive an estimated -2/+2 seconds accuracy per day.

Bill Hader

Bill Hader is a hot player in the television world and a red carpet regular.

Winning a range of awards including 3 Emmy Awards and three awards for Writers Guild of America Awards, he has a few Directors Guild of America Awards to boot! For this year's event, he stood by and watched his partner Ali Wong rack up an Award for Best Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie.

He won’t be too heartbroken though, especially since he was rocking an awesome Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope with a cream face and black rubber strap.

Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope

Case Diameter - 43mm
Water Resistance - 50 metres
Reference - 329.32.43.51.02.001
Colour - Cream
Calibre - 9908
Power Reserve - 60 hours
Material - Steel

Here’s a timekeeping fact. Did you know The Omega Speedmaster originally started off as a racing watch in the late 1950s? However, it soon expanded into one of the most legendary collections of all time when it was the first watch to land on the Moon in 1969 on the wrist of astronaut Buzz Aldrin.

And many happy returns to the Moonwalker as he has recently celebrated his 94th birthday on January 20th. Still breaking more trends than London Fashion Week, he has been plastered on social media with a hat trick of watches on his wrist. If two is enough for you connoisseurs, take a look at this below;

The Chronoscope follows the signature Speedmaster design with a 1940s inspired chronograph functionality. Sized at 43mm, the steel watches have a silver dial with black sub-counters. Are panda dials going to stay strong in 2024?

Given a stylish spiral track in the centre, the dial features a tachymetric scale, pulsometer scale and telemeter scale. Powered by the 9908 calibre, the watches are Master Chronometer certified and offer a 60 hour power reserve and 50 metre water resistance. Fitted onto a black leather strap with red stitching to match the red elements on the face, Hader styles this out with a grey double breasted suit with black bow-tie.

You can buy an Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope at retail for £8,600 as of January 2024.

Other Watches Worn By Bill Hader

Bill Hader keeps his watch lineup very limited outside of the Omega family. The other watch he is noted for wearing is a 5.11 Tactical Military Sentinel piece. Well, not quite a Panerai Marina Militare Carbotech!

Colman Domingo

Colman Domingo is the chirpy chap that although didn’t win anything, has the prestige behind him to cement his place on the red carpet at the Emmys 2024.

Boasting a career covering films like Candyman, Rustin and crazy cartoon, Teenage Kraken, he is a man of many talents.

Winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo show after his amazing, one-man autobiographical performance in A Boy and His Soul, he has an Emmy Award stashed under his bed in 2022. This was for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series due to his tear-jerking performance as a recovering drug addict in Euphoria.

He may not have won any silverware during this year's Emmy Awards, but he took it upon himself to doll his wrist up with an equally beautiful Omega Constellation Globemaster. Suffice to say, this looked sublime against his classic black and white suit ensemble with some bling emanating from the brooch. And is that a pearl necklace?!.

Omega Constellation Globemaster

Case Diameter - 39mm
Water Resistance - 100 metres
Reference - 130.53.39.21.02.002
Colour - Opaline
Calibre - 8901
Power Reserve - 60 hours
Material - Yellow Gold

The Omega Globemaster became the first Master Chronometer line from the brand's portfolio. However, the design has kept and maintained its incredibly minimalist design. Crafted out of 18K yellow gold, the dial is given the instantly recognisable 1952 Pie-Pan style, following Gerald Genta’s design codes for the Constellation collection.

Featuring a luxurious fluted bezel, the face is made up of yellow baton hour markers and hands that are filled with luminescence. A small date aperture is present at 6 o’clock, and if you flip the watch over, you’ll enjoy the Observatory medallion on the exhibition caseback.

Powered by the Master Chronometer certified 8901, this Omega offers a solid 60 hour power reserve and 100 metres of water resistance. Locked onto a brown leather strap, Colman pulls this off with a classic white and black suit.

You can buy an Omega Constellation Globemaster at retail for £23,200 as of January 2024.

Other Watches Worn By Colman Domingo

He is known to have worn a Franck Muller Long Island 1200SC. Fancy drinking and wearing an FM Long Island at that swim-up bar? This beauty comes in a rose gold square case and features crazy elongated hour markers.

Young Mazino

Young Mazino earned his televisual stripes for his performance in Beef, a sterling Netflix Series that earned him a nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Limited Series or TV Movie. Unfortunately, he was pipped to the post by Paul Walter Hauser in his Black Bird performance.

Young Mazino may be a little upset as he’s been a nominee for a range of awards, including the 2023 Online Film & Television Association for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture, the same award for International Online Cinema Awards…and you guessed it…the same again for Derby Awards. Give this guy a break please!

His pockets clearly aren't suffering as he sported an Omega Constellation Globemaster in steel when he anxiously waited for his name to be called at the Emmy Awards 2024.

Omega Constellation Globemaster

Case Diameter - 39mm
Water Resistance - 100 metres
Reference - 130.33.39.21.02.001
Colour - White
Calibre - 8900
Power Reserve - 60 hours
Material - Steel

Young Mazino’s take on the Constellation Globemaster is to do away with the precious metals and imbue a little classic steel. At 39mm, the watch is very wearable and slips under Mazino’s all black ensemble with ease.

Source - Omega

Given a white face, the silver hour markers and hands are easily distinguishable, alongside the date aperture at 6 o’clock which features black text. The fluted bezel is a nice touch to the elegance of the piece, especially since it's fitted onto a suave black leather strap. Powered by the 8900 calibre, this piece should take you through your everyday goings on, especially since it has a 60 hour power reserve.

You can buy an Omega Constellation Globemaster at retail for £7,100 as of January 2024

Omega Globemaster 130.33.41.22.01.001 (Black) - Following the same design cues as the above, the watch features a black dial with fluted bezel.

Tom Hiddleston

If we reeled off all the awards attained by Tom Hiddleston, we may find that we have a list of accolades as long as War & Peace.

Winning a total of 19 awards throughout his distinguished career, including a Globe Best Actor award for The Night Manager, a Laurence Olivier Best Newcomer in a Play Award for Cymbeline and Empire Award for Best Male Newcomer for Thor in 2012, Hiddlestone has become a huge presence in the acting world.

While he didn’t have to step up for an Emmy award in this 2024 edition, he did turn up to show his support and flex a beautiful IWC Portugieser. Featuring a bizarre face to contrast his clean cut suit, like the Hulk, he pulls no punches with his effervescent arm candy!

IWC Portugieser

Case Diameter - 43mm
Water Resistance - N/A
Reference - IW524102
Colour - Skeletonised
Calibre - 95911
Power Reserve - 43 hours
Material - Rose Gold

Created by legendary designer Kurt Klaus, The Portugieser collection has swiftly become a staple of their portfolio. Famed for its big sizes and dressy design, Hiddleston opts for a model which completely deviates from any previous style.

Source - Ineichen

Originally released in 2004, the watches came in a limited edition run of around 50 pieces. Only the rarest pieces for Mr Hiddleston! Sized at 43mm, rose gold is on the agenda while there is a funky minute repeater slide at 9 o’clock and fitted with an exhibition caseback.

The face is entirely skeletonised, allowing the rhodium plated movement to be shown, not to mention other components like the Breguet hairspring. Featuring leaf shaped hands, it may be hard to read the dial, but this is more of an adventurous piece of horology than a tool timepiece.

Powered by the Calibre 95911, the watches have a 43 hour power reserve and a Probus Scafusia quality Hallmark, relating to the high quality of the timepiece. Strapped onto a brown leather strap, Hiddleston adorns this with a charcoal grey suit.

You can no longer buy an IWC Portugieser IW524102 at retail as it has been discontinued. However, it sells on the secondary market for around £34,000 as of January 2024.

Other Watches Worn By Tom Hiddleston

Cartier Santos Dumont W2SA0011 - Crafted out of steel and yellow gold, these watches are the perfect duo material for the multi-faceted man. Locked onto a black leather strap, looking slick has never been so easy!
Cartier Pasha W3019351 - Crafted out of 18K rose gold, these pieces have a silver dial and highly legible Arabic dials. Given a brown alligator strap, it is both versatile and most definitely suited to the elegant gent.

Winning Best Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in Bear, Jeremey Allen White doesn’t need any more trophies in his overflowing cabinets. Winning Golden Globes Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for the same film, alongside Critics Choice Television Awards, Best Actor in a Comedy Series, Bear has proven to be his most fruitful role yet.

But he was not grizzly on the red carpet. Up he stepped all in white with a black bow tie. So what was upon his wrist? A little something that would make most horophiles go green with envy!

Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix

Case Diameter - 40mm
Water Resistance - 30 metres
Reference - 4600E/000R-B441
Colour - Cream
Calibre - 1326

Material - Pink Gold

Following on from the legend of the 1956 ref 6073, the Fiftysix collection is one of the rare out and out dress watches from renowned Holy Trinity member Vacheron Constantin.

Sized at 40mm of pink gold, the watches have a very modern 9.6mm thickness allowing for perfect wearability. Given a white face, the pink Arabic numerals stand out as do the similarly toned pink hands that are lumed up to the max. Given a date aperture residing at 3 o’clock, the dial is very minimalist.

The timepieces are powered by the Calibre 1326 which offers a 28,800 frequency, a weekend-proof 48 hour power reserve and a movement size of 4.3mm. Built onto a brown leather strap, the watches clearly stand out from Jeremy Allen White’s white suit outfit.

You can buy a Vacheron Constantin Fiftysix at retail upon requesting a price.

Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Self-Winding 40mm 85180/000R-9248 - Crafted out of pink gold, the piece is inspired by 1950s aesthetics. It features a sporty minute counter alongside an avant-garde openworked caseback.

Winner of Best Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Succession, Culkin has continued to expand his list of awards. Winning Critics Choice Movie Awards Best Young Actor for his role in Igby Goes Down way back in 2003, Macaulay’s bro now is the proud owner of a 2024 Golden Globe Best Actor in a Television Series - Drama award for Succession.

That’s probably why he had the funds to splash out on a beautiful IWC Portugieser with a moody green face… Fair enough!

IWC Portugieser Automatic 40

Case Diameter - 40.4mm
Water Resistance - 30 metres
Reference - IW358310
Colour - Green
Calibre - 82200
Power Reserve - 60 hours
Material - Steel

Sized at 40.4mm, these watches are crafted out of steel and are sized at a reasonably accessible 12.3mm height. We particularly enjoy the sapphire crystal back that allows you to see into the complexity of the movement.

The shade is a gorgeous British Racing green sheen that allows the silvered Arabic numerals and leaf shaped hands to clearly stand out, alongside the small seconds sub-counters at 6 o’clock. Water resistant to 30 metres, we’d save this piece for your red carpet walks rather than deep diving expeditions off your private yacht.

Powered by the 82200 calibre the in-house made movement offers a 60 hour power reserve alongside a 28,800VpH. Thank goodness for the exhibition back, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see the Côtes de Genève!

Kieran Culkin opts to exchange the standard green leather strap for a black one to keep in tandem with the black suit he adorned at the Emmys 2024. It seems IWC has taken a leaf out of Vacheron’s book as this smacks of the Traditionnelle Tourbillon from Watches and Wonders 2023. Wouldn’t you say?

You can buy an IWC Portugueser Automatic 40 at retail for £6,500 as of January 2024.

Other Watches Worn By Kieran Culkin

Brian Cox

During the Emmy Awards 2024, Brian Cox was nominated for Lead Actor of a Drama Series for Succession, but was beaten by fellow co-star, Kieran Culkin. He didn't seem to mind when he gave him a big kiss upon his name being announced.

Brian Cox has won two BAFTA awards, an Emmy, a Globe, a Screen Actor Guild Award and two Olivier awards. Come on, Culkin. Give him the Emmy instead! Perhaps the most interesting part of Cox’s performance (aside from the kiss), was his stunning throwback Jacob & Co SF24.

Case Diameter - 45mm
Water Resistance - 30 metres

Colour - Anthracite
Calibre - JCAA02

But it is the flip down calendar that gives us vintage vibes. The anthracite opaline shade is fitted with steel Roman numerals that show the current time. The above Split-Flap function relates to the main cities of the world with the relevant hour. The dial is entirely luminescent allowing for maximum legibility. Capable of seeing 24 different time zones just by pushing a button, the watches are powered by the JCAA02 calibre which has a 28,800VpH and a 48 hour power reserve.

Reminding the wearer of yesteryear’s traveller when airports were emerging this is a great alternative to the oh so hot yet consistently desirable Rolex GMT-Master, specifically made for PAN-AM pilots in 1954. Style wise, the former Braveheart and Trials of Henry Kissinger actor paired this with a grey suit, white suit shirt and black bow tie. They may have taken his Emmy…but they shall never take his horological freedom.

You can buy a Jacob & Co SF24 on the secondary market for around £65,000 as of January 2024.

The shade is pitch black and combines white baton hour markers with Arabic numerals at 12, 3 and 9 o’clock. How could we forget the equally white classic Mercedes hands?

Given a frosted silver face, it's made up of Roman numerals in yellow, and a minute track that features Arabic numerals running around the periphery. The small date aperture at 6 o’clock is a nice complication to the minimalist piece. Take note of the yellow hands and the extra black GMT hand that links in with the 24 hour scale.

Powered by the L844.5 calibre that's fitted with a silicon balance spring to combat magnetism, it's visible through the sapphire back and offers a stupendous 70 hour power reserve.

Sized at 39mm of yellow gold, the watches still offer 100 metres of water resistance, even with a sapphire caseback. The fixed bezel features a tachymetric scale to keep that racing edge. The eyes are drawn into the vertical brush style face that's similarly yellow with black sub-counters, yellow hour marker batons and lume filled hands.

Grand Seiko SBGW297

The 44GS line from Grand Seiko is incredibly popular, especially since it was the first line back in 1967 to encapsulate the now iconic style of the brand.

This latest edition, the SBGW297, is the smallest of the 44GS line, sized at 36.5mm of steel. Offering 100 metres of water resistance alongside a slim thickness of 11.6mm, the construction is no problem slipping under shirt cuffs. The shade is a brilliant piece of art!

Entirely white, the style is inspired by paper sliding doors and folding screens. Therefore, the folded fan aesthetic is offered throughout, giving a sun ray style beam from the centre outwards. The hour markers are chunky batons and the hands are sharp, but the second hand is blue for optimal legibility.

Powered by the Grand Seiko Calibre 9S64, expect a power reserve of 72 hours and a daily accuracy of around +5/-3 seconds per day. It’s given a steel strap to complete the James Bond imbued refined design.

Fitted with three black sub-counters, the watch balances a gradient of rich tones with the matte aesthetic of the casing. Powered by the famous El Primero calibre, it offers a 36,000VpH alongside a 50 hour power reserve and that must have 1/100th of a second chronograph functionality.

Placed onto a black fabric strap, let this ring out loud and proud when you're shaking hands with A-list celebs or clinching deals at the boardroom table.

Capped at 500 timepieces, you can buy a Zenith Defy Chroma II at retail for £13,800 as of January 2024

The Lange 1 Time Zone Platinum case diameter is 41.9mm with a 10.9mm thick case size which is perfect for the 950 platinum made watches. Given a circular design, the face is rhodié-coloured and made entirely from solid silver.

Featuring an oversize date, power reserve indicator, day/night indicator and a time zone function, the watches host a range of functions which are rather useful for the high flying gent. Powered by the L141.1 movement, it has a 72 hour power reserve which can easily last you the entire weekend.

Fitted onto a black alligator leather strap, these novelties are secured with a 950 platinum buckle and would look great alongside a sharp navy blue suit and brogues.

You can buy an A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Time Zone Platinum at retail when you request a price as of January 2024.

Conclusion

The Emmy Awards 2024 has become another brilliant event for viewers globally. Yielding around 4.3 million, these fans may have come for the filmmaking, but they certainly stayed for the horological goodness!

We can’t really stop mentioning all these stunning watches without referencing another Omega beauty worn by Ariana DeBose. Wearing the infinitely dressy style of the Omega De Ville Tresor, the timepiece is crafted out of 18K yellow gold which is fitted with 38 diamonds on the case sides and constructed with a yellow gold mesh bracelet.

One thing we noticed from The Golden Globes was the vast number of Omega watches worn by the celebs.
