13 Best Watches We Spotted At The 81st Golden Globes

 

We’re back, Timelords! A fresh new year has emerged and Santa’s sack has long gone up the chimney for another 12 months. Oh woe betide. But don’t despair as we have a horological sackful of incredible treats, latest natterings and hottest gossip to keep you on your toes on our Chronicles page.

And what better way to kick off awards season with the Golden Globes 2024. This year's event was particularly tense after 2023’s riveting, blockbuster spectacle between Barbie and Oppenheimer. In fact the term Barbenheimer broke the internet quicker than Daniel Craig’s never before seen Speedmaster white dial.

We would be terribly remiss if we didn’t cast our eyes over the other phenomenal films that stole the public's hearts. From films like Wonka featuring Timothée Chalamet or William Dafoe’s role in Poor Things, we were well and truly swamped with some of the best movies and TV productions you could throw money at. 

Now, 2024 is upon us and with it a whole new range of content and films that will undoubtedly be released. We’ve got films like Mean Girls and Argylle producing hotly anticipated watches, to TV shows like True Detective and Expats. 

The Golden Globes is the benchmark for everyone to see what’s succeeding and what is pulling in the audience ratings. For us horophiles, we were too concerned with the luxury wristwear of the attendees to worry about the victors!

But, for those who take an interest in the winners and losers on the night, first, take a look at our definitive list of who took home the spoils. Then it’s time we got into what you are here for of course…the watches!

Sorry, Barbie. Just Cinematic And Box Office Achievement and Best Original Song In A Film for you! We know what you are really interested in. That is to say the best watches we spotted at the 81st Golden Globes. 

Curtain up.

 

1. Timothée Chalamet

 

Timothée Chalamet already has three Golden Globes under his belt. Unfortunately for his latest performance in Wonka, he was only runner up for the Best Male Actor in a film, musical or comedy, losing out to Paul Giamatti’s role in The Holdovers. More on his sexy Chopard later.

Sure, he may not have been the victor, but he’s already winning the horological battle with a gorgeous grail, we simply had to write about first. The Cartier Crash CRHPI00654.

The Crash’s history is perhaps one of the most ambiguous in modern horology. Originally released in 1967, there are theories behind the lucid, melting style design of the case and dial. 

Some say that the watch was inspired by Salvador Dali’s incredible “The Persistence of Memory” artwork, while others say it came from a terrible car crash wherein someone associated with Cartier wore a Maxi Oval and it physically melted due to the flames. 

Most likely was that it was born from the Maxi Oval, but inspired by the psychedelic, cosmic like era of the 1960s, where ambiguous fashion and surreal art was all the rage. 

In this instance, the HPI00564 continues on the stunning liquified effect of its predecessors. The 38.45mm by 25.5mm casing is crafted out of white gold and has 149 brilliant cut diamonds built into it, alongside the classic beaded crown that's fitted with one brilliant cut diamond. 

Totalling around 2.15 carats, the bracelet is another stunning addition, totalling 321 brilliant cut diamonds that totals 2.12 carats. The dial is given a silver opaline aesthetic with a gorgeous sunray effect. The sword shaped hands are blued with the Roman Numeral hour markers stretched to suit the stretched case shape. Worn by the likes of Kanye West and Tyler the Creator, the celebs are drawn to this piece like luxury loving moths!

Capped at 67 pieces, Timothée Chalamet is most definitely living in a world of pure imagination. By bringing out this sought after beauty, it goes to show that size doesn't always matter, especially when it’s such a gorgeous timepiece alongside a sparkling black ensemble. 

- You can buy a Cartier Crash HPI00654 at retail for £158,000 as of January 2024. 

 

2. Kieran Culkin

 

That’s right, there’s no point in staying Home Alone with this next timepiece. Besides, it would be a crying shame if no one saw this if it was under lock and key in a safe.  

Younger bro of Macauley, Kieran Culkin finally received a Golden Globe for Best Male Actor In A TV Series for Succession. It was long overdue as he was nominated 4 times previously, running as far back as 2003 for his role in Igby Goes Down.

For such an eclectic actor and sibling to Kevin McCallister, one of the most iconic child film characters of the 90s, he certainly knows how to celebrate in style. 

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph CBS2210.FC6534

The Carrera design is truly as much of an icon as what Elvis is to music or Sir Bobby Charlton to football. You get the gist.

Originally released in 1963, The Carrera collection was inspired by the Panamericana race, an open border race that saw drivers pursue the finish line across arduous Mexican terrain.

Tied in with F1 racers like Niki Lauda and Ronnie Peterson, the collection is the ultimate line for the motorcar lover. The glassbox element links into the magnified effect from the crystal. Built into a boxy dome shape, there have been around 10 variations of this crystal design showing the longevity and pertinence of the design. 

Kieran Culkin goes for the modern 39mm TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph. Taking inspiration from the reverse Panda 2447 NS, the iconic glassbox design is maintained, but with a very cool twist. 

The black dial showcases a tri-compax style, meaning that the sub dials are silver instead of black, deviating from the classic white dial background and black sub-dials. Crafted out of steel, the watches feature a sapphire caseback, boasting the TH20-00 movement with its 80 hour power reserve, skipping away at 28,800 VpH. 

Culkin wore this Bobby Dazzler when raising his award high and mocking long-time friend, Pedro Pascal. Wearing an all black suit, the reverse panda dial is perfect in keeping with the moodiness of his outfit. 

- You can buy a TAG Heuer Carrera Automatic Chronograph at retail for £5,600 as of January 2024. 

 

3. Will Ferrell

 

Sure, Will Ferrell may not have even been nominated. However, he has already been nominated for two previous Golden Globes in 2006 and 2007 for The Producers and Stranger Than Fiction. Still not a winner though (yet!).

He did give a funny skit when he and Kristen Wiig presented Best Male Actor In A Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. If you could stop your laughter for a second before your sides split (ours nearly did as we only had eyes for watches), you may have noticed the much talked about superlative Omega titanium number he adorned at the event

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 007 Edition 42mm

Speaking of films, you may have seen this novelty elsewhere…

As the watch worn in the 2021 James Bond flick, No Time To Die ,this Omega watch is a phenomenal piece of film history, and an ideal model for huge events such as The Golden Globes. 

Following on from the brilliant history behind the Omega Seamaster that runs as far back as 1948, this latest iteration is a fantastic play on the Seamaster and James Bond franchise that originally joined forces in 1995 for Goldeneye. This was where Pierce Brosnan was famed for wearing an Omega Seamaster 2541.80. 

The Seamaster Diver 300m 007 Edition 42mm is associated with the last James Bond film, No Time To Die from 2021. Sized at 42mm, these Omega watches are built into the incredibly lightweight titanium material. Given a grade 2 mesh titanium bracelet, they are surrounded by a domed sapphire crystal. 

Given a brown dial, the hour markers are made up of batons and dots that are filled with tropical lume. Fixed with a 60 minute diving scale on the bezel, the Seamaster Diver 300m  is powered by the phenomenal Omega 8806 calibre. Lightweight, sleek and fit for the modern day master of espionage, it is given a 55 hour power reserve. Throw in 300 metre water resistance, Master Chronometer certification as well as 15,000 gauss resistance and you have a watch that will shake and stir anyone’s attire this year. 

- You can buy an Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 007 Edition 42mm at retail for £9,500 as of January 2024. 

 

4. Barry Keoghan

 

Joining the ranks of Irish actors with Cillian Murphy, Barry Keoghan has swiftly risen up the ranks to become a very prominent part of Hollywood's scene. Starting from humble beginnings, he has become an established actor, starting with rolex in Between The Canals in 2011 to his latest role as Oliver Quick in Saltburn. 

Source - Life & Style via Getty Images

 

For his performance in the Saltburn film, he reached the nomination stage for Best Male Actor In A Film - Drama. However, he has a string of other awards such as;

  •  Irish Film & Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in The Killing Of A Sacred   Deer (2018) 
  • London Film Critics Circle award for The Best Supporting Actor For The Banshees of Inisherin.

While he may have missed out to Irish actor Cillian Murphy in Oppenheimer, we did notice him wearing a particularly tasty timepiece to tantalise us with. And again, it’s another ritzy, glitzy number from Omega to match this most special occasion.

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 34mm 220.55.34.20.99.001

Originally released in 2002, The Aqua Terra was adding a more dress-like appeal to the Seamaster, in line with the charm of the Constellation collection. What a perfect in-betweener!

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

 

Yet this variation goes one step further than your classic Aqua Terra. Crafted in a very slim fitting 34mm case, the watches are made out of Omega’s very own Sedna gold material. This is an alloy of gold they’ve used since 2012 which is nicknamed after Sedna, the reddest planet in the solar system. 

And the dial is just as ornate. Crafted from 498 diamonds, even the hour markers are made from marquise-cut red rubies. The bracelet is similarly made from Sedna gold and keeps with the luxury of the model. 

Powered by the impervious Omega 8807 calibre, the Seamaster Aqua Terra offers a weekend-proof 55 hour power reserve. Coupled with 150 metres of water resistance,the Master Chronometer certified watches ensure a great deal of accuracy alongside a phenomenal level of anti-magnetism. 

Keoghan made the brave decision to keep with the rubies and wear this with an all red Louis Vuitton suit with a white shirt. Confident? He may have merged with the red carpet but the checkerboard style trousers are just as flamboyant as the timepiece. Unfortunately, you can no longer buy an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 34mm at retail as it’s no longer available. 

- You can buy it on the secondary market for upwards of £43,500 as of January 2024. 

 

5. Ryan Gosling

As he seeks to find his role and position in this film, he put up enough of a performance to warrant being nominated for Best Supporting Male Actor In A Film, but just missed out by a whisker to Robert Downey Jr for Oppenheimer. Darn that Iron Man.

Let’s be honest, he has enough gold in his cabinet already. Winning a Golden Globe in 2017 for Best Actor In A Motion Picture -  Musical Or Comedy for La La Land, he’s also won:

  • Independent Spirit Awards - Best Male Lead - Half Nelson
  • Irish Film & Television Drama Academy Awards - Best International Film Actor - Drive
  • MTV Movie & TV Awards - Best Kiss - The Notebook

We particularly enjoy that last award! Anyway, The Golden Globes 2024 showed his continued love of TAG Heuer, paying respects to the ultimate three handed wonder that could easily put Batman in his place. Holy smokes Robin, is that another Carrera?

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - TAG Heuer Carrera Date 39mm WBN2111.FC6505

Gosling is no stranger to a TAG Heuer Carrera. In his role as Ken in Barbie, he wore three of the best vintage Carrera watches, all of which came in yellow gold. How’s that for flaunting uber wealth!

Here, The Chase For Carrera star opts for a watch with a little less pretence this time around. The TAG Heuer Carrera Date comes in 39mm of steel and a thin width of 11.50mm. Totalling 100 metres of water resistance, the watches look sublime with a combo of fine brushing and polishing. 

The bezel is locked in and crafted of steel with a polished design. Turn your eyes to the dial, and you will find a silver sunray brushed finish that allows the rhodium plated hands and hour markers to be bolstered. Filled with Luminova, visibility is absolutely paramount. 

Turn over the novelty to see the sapphire caseback, exposing the automatic Calibre 5 movement. Offering a 38 hour power reserve and a 28,800VpH, it runs the general timekeeping and small date aperture located at 6 o’clock. 

Brimming with Kenergy, it is fitted with a black alligator leather strap. Gosling kept his outfit low-key (as opposed to his “I’m Just Ken” ballad) and wore a loose fit black suit with white trim. 

- You can buy a TAG Heuer Carrera Date 39mm at retail for £2,700 as of January 2024.

 

6. John Krasinki

 

Hey, that’s the guy from The Office! Actually, he was here as a supporting husband as opposed to a supporting actor, following his wife Emily Blunt around for her nomination as Kitty in Oppenheimer.

He may not have been up for any awards, but that didn’t stop him tearing the house down with a deeply attractive IWC. Mind you, it’s a tough call as we don’t know who is stealing the show in this image…Emily Blunt or Krasinki’s timepiece.

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - IWC Portugieser IW358313

Coming in at 40.4mm, the watches are crafted out of steel. Keeping the same rounded shape, the 12.3mm tall pieces are fantastic for connoisseurs, but not great for underwater explorers thanks to its mere 30 metres of water resistance. 

The dial has a delightful salmony shade going on that allows the silvered Arabic hour markers and tapered hands to very clearly stand out. Fitted with small hacking seconds, the watch physically is a beautiful piece. 

Technically, it still keeps its excellence. Featuring The IWC 82200 calibre, the Portugieser  has a 60 hour power reserve, a 28,800VpH and a stunning Côtes de Genève architecture which you can admire through the sapphire caseback. 

Fitted onto a black alligator leather strap, Krasinki thought it was necessary to go all out and match Keoghan with a sumptuous red suit. And we can’t blame him!

- You can buy an IWC Portugieser IW358313 at retail for £6,500 as of January 2024. 

 

7. Robert Downey Jr

 

Few actors can lay claim to a film heritage quite like Robert Downey Jr.

To put this into context, he is the proud owner of four Golden Globe awards, running from 1994 for his Special Achievement Award for Ensemble in Short Cuts, to his recent victory in Oppenheimer as The Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture. 

If we got into all his awards, we might be here for a long time! Aside from this year's success at The Golden Globes 2024, Robert Downey Jr was suited and booted for the stage with a very special companion…from JLC.

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Chronograph Q389257J

Released in 1931, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso collection was released in order to help British soldiers stationed out in India. During play, they continually shattered the crystals on their watches when they played Polo, so the Reverso was released as a solution. Capable of turning the case 180 degrees, the caseback could be spun around to take on the impact instead of the dial. 

This latest Reverso Chronograph Q389257J was released in 2023. Sized at 49.4mm by 29.9mm, the watches are crafted out of pink gold. Given a thickness of 11.14mm, they are exceptionally slender, perfect for slipping under shirt cuffs. 

The “recto” or the front dial is given a black opaline face with appliqued hour markers in the same pink gold as the case. Meanwhile, the verso side is skeletonised, similarly showing appliqued hour markers, alongside a host of functions including a 30-minute counter and chronograph functionality. 

They are powered by a manual winding movement, offering 28,800VpH and a 52 hour power reserve. Fitted onto a black or grey leather strap, Downey Jr opts to go classical with a blacked out ensemble that makes it a genuinely mean and moody piece befitting of the red carpet, boardroom or swanky soiree. 

- You can buy a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Chronograph Q389257J at retail for £37,400 as of January 2024. 

 

8. Simu Liu

At the Golden Globes 2024 to present The Best Limited Series, Anthology Series or TV Movie, it may not have been his year to claim the big seat, but his portfolio is not to be sniffed at:

  • Winner of the Host, live entertainment special at the Canadian Screen Award in 2023
  • Winner for Outstanding Performance Ensemble at the ACTRA Awards in 2017 for Kim’s Convenience 
  • Winner of The People’s Choice Awards For Star (2021) for his role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. 

He was also one of the big hitters in the horological world, bringing with him a timepiece that comprised a spectacular look by none other than Holy Trinity member Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date 4000U/000R-B516. 

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date 4000U/000R-B516

The Patrimony collection was introduced in 2004 and designed to be the ultimate dress collection, with slender lines and strong influences, taking their cues from the 1950s with classic circular cases and minimalist dials.

This Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date includes the brilliance of the Patrimony with the added twist of a highly complicated retrograde function. Sized at 42.5mm, the watches are an extremely thin 9.7mm. 

Crafted out of pink gold, the watches boast luxury first and foremost, especially over water resistance as that's capped at 30 metres. Save this beast for the red carpet! It’s a real head turner. Turn your eyes over to the dial for two ticks to expose the gorgeous sunburst satin blue aesthetic. 

This enhances the sword shaped hour markers, tapered hands and pearl style minute track, all of which are in the same rose gold sheen. And how exactly does a retrograde function work I hear you ask? Essentially, it relates to the arrowed hand not completing an entire spin of the dial, instead jumping back to the start of the arc once it reaches its desired date. Then, the cycle repeats! 

The funky styles come in the form of a very unusual combo of a retrograde day display alongside a date function. The retrograde remains at the top, running from 9 to 3 o’clock. The date aperture takes up 4 o’clock to 8 o’clock. 

Powered by the 2460 R31R7/3 movement, the watches offer a 40 hour power reserve alongside a 28,800VpH. Hallmark of Geneva certified? Check! Fitted with a dark blue leather strap, Simu Liu is a fan of the classic stylings, as noted by his James Bond styled black tux, black bow tie and white shirt. 

- You can buy a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date 4000U/U000R-B516 at retail for around £46,430 as of January 2024.

 

9. Jo Koy 

 

This next timepiece ain't your average cup of Joe. Time to call in the hot shots and steam that Americano to the full with American comic Jo Koy. But this is no laughing matter.

This is serious flex appeal and then some. Rocking a Rolex “Starbucks” Submariner at the Golden Globes 2024, the presenter of this prestigious ceremony really made us enthusiasts go green with envy…especially the bezel.

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Rolex Starbucks Submariner

The Rolex Starbucks Submariner is a fantastic play on the original Rolex Hulk which was replaced back in 2020. The key differences? Take note of the now glossy black dial as opposed to the green aesthetic the Hulk adopted.

Crafted out of Oyster Steel, the watches are highly resistant to corrosion as defined by the 904L steel construction. Used in aerospace and chemical industries, the beautiful material offers a first rate lustre that many look for in a timepiece. 

The top of the case is surrounded by a beautiful green bezel. Completely rotatable, it features a 60-minute diving scale as per the underwater functionality of the collection. Used to measure decompression times, we bet Jo Koy wished he could be 300 metres underwater following his crummy joke against Taylor Swift fell flat! Anyone for tumbleweeds?

Given a black dial, the Chromalight display ensures maximum legibility at all times by producing a neon blue glow. Powered by the 3235 movement, the watches have a -2/+2 seconds per day precision, a 70 hour power reserve and Superlative Chronometer certification. 

Fitted onto a steel Oyster strap, Jo Koy opted for a black suit jacket and bow tie with a grey shirt to let his Rolex Starbucks Submariner stand out as the hot timepiece that’s still a great investment . 

- You can buy a Rolex Starbucks Submariner at retail for £9,450 as of January 2024. 

 

10. Kevin Costner 

 

While former Bodyguard actor Kevin Costner may have only been presenting the award for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series at the 2024 Golden Globes, he has a fair share of awards himself.

Totalling 3 Golden Globes for Best Director - Motion Picture in Dances with Wolves in 1991, Best Actor - Miniseries or Television Film for Hatfields & McCoys in 2013 and Best Actor - Television Series Drama for Yellowstone in 2023, he is acting royalty!

He kept things on the low with his hosting skills with America Ferrera onstage. But his timekeeper was definitely the centre of attention.

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Omega De Ville Prestige 434.13.41.20.02.001

The Omega De Ville Prestige runs back to 1994 and is currently in its third generation of timepieces. While the designs may have retained the circular case shape and gorgeous dials, the movements are jacked up like Arnold Schwarzenegger to boast high quality technical features. 

Source - Omega

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

 

In this instance, The Omega De Ville Prestige comes in at 41mm of solid steel. Around 10.8mm thick, it's certainly one that can slide with ease under shirt cuffs. That makes sense given Costner’s suave role as the presenter of a critical award, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Television Series: Musical or Comedy. 

Given a silver dial, they opt for a combo of randomly stamped vertical patterns alongside a sub-brushed finish. Featuring rhodium plated hour markers, they interchange between Roman numerals and dots. A small date aperture resides at 3 o’clock which adds a level of complexity alongside the small seconds counter at 6 o’clock.

Given tapered hands, the dial is very minimal. Powered by the Calibre 8802, quality is ensured when you stamp on Master Chronometer certification! Suddenly, this very refined piece is a machine that can yield a decent 55 hour power reserve and resist 15,000 Gauss. Fitted onto a black leather strap, Kevin Costner pulls this off with a black suit ensemble.

- You can buy an Omega De Ville Prestige at retail for £4,800 as of January 2024. 

 

11. Harrison Ford 

 

Where do we begin…Harrison Ford needs no introduction. We’ll give him one anyway. Boasting a repertoire of roles in Blade Runner, Indiana  Jones, Star Wars and The Expendables, this man need not fear anyone… Apart from snakes and Egyptian mummies of course!

Source - Daily Express via Getty Images

 

His presence was solely on a social basis at The Golden Globes, preferring to fraternise with other stars like Kevin Costner and Steven Spielberg rather than hand out awards or pick up new ones. Why add more to his extensive successes like, AFI Life Achievement Award, Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, and an honorary award for Worldwide Contribution to Entertainment from the British Academy of Film and Television Art?

Plus, he has a quiet little abode in Wyoming which may need another wing for all his accolades. We say quiet, it’s valued at $13 million with a generous 800 acres of land. He wasn’t the main focal point, but us horophiles noted something gleaming on his wrist…

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Breitling Aerospace

Harrison Ford has kept close grips on his Breitling Aerospace since the 1990s. For a guy who spent most of his career doing crazy stunts that would put Banksy in his place, we suppose it only makes sense he keeps an action man timepiece close to his wrist. 

Source - Breitling

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

 

The Aerospace was originally launched in 1985 and subsequently followed by the Aerospace Evo line. Crafted out of titanium and sized at 43mm, the timepieces  are rather big lengthwise, but quite slim at 10.8mm.

The dial is made up of digital day and date counters which are programmed 4 years in advance, as well as a countdown timer, second time zone, an alarm and a minute repeater. It’s a good job the counters are programmed for 4 years as the SuperQuartz movement which typically lasts around 3 to 4 years anyway. 

Water resistant to 100 metres, this chronometer certified SuperQuartz calibre is easy to use once you decipher what each analog display means. Offering 1/100th of a second accuracy, don’t sleep on this industrial looking piece!

Fitted onto a titanium strap, Ford wears this with a classic black suit, black bow tie and white shirt. Classic!

- You can buy a Breitling Aerospace at retail for £3,500 as of January 2024. 

 

12. Finneas O’Connell

 

Hold on a sec, you’re not an actor! Finneas Eilish is a man with a range of talents, most notably his musical success with sister Billie Eilish. That’s right, the same Eilish that double wrists watches!

In this instance, he and his sister worked on the Barbie film, producing “What Was I Made For?” in the Barbie film and subsequently winning Best Original Song In A Film. Adding another notch to their rising stardom, including winning 8 Grammys and earring Record of the Year twice in a row. 

So, as he picked up his Golden Globe, our eyes were drawn to something that seemingly sparkled on his wrist…

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Cartier Santos Gold

Finneas has been closely collaborating with Cartier for a while, leading to him making a soundscape for the brand for an exhibition in 2021 for the Clash Unlimited collection. Nowadays, he chooses to laud the brand by prompting them on his social media, and flexing the heck out of them!

Best Place To Buy A Luxury Watch  Best Place To Sell A Luxury Watch

 

For the Golden Globes 2024, he opted to wear a very sharp Santos Gold. Sized at around 35.1mm wide and 8.83mm thick, this is an incredibly thin piece of horology. Both the bracelet and the case are made out of yellow gold, promoting the luxury factor behind the model. 

The dial is covered by a synthetic sapphire crystal, protecting the crispness of the opaline dial. Fitted with black Roman Numeral hour markers, the hands are blued and shaped like swords. Reaching around 100 metres of water resistance, this is a surprisingly durable piece, considering it looks like it fell from King Midas’ tabletop!

Powered by the 1847 MC calibre, the watches offer a modest 40 hour power reserve. This self-winding mechanical movement is a hot property for every manner of horophile. Strapped onto a gold bracelet, Finneas kept things unusually reserved with an all black suit which contrasts nicely against the all gold wristwear.

13. Paul Giamatti 

 

Extremely underrated as an actor, Paul Giamatti has done every type of film. Comedies like Big Fat Liar, Sideways, Christmas films like Fred Claus and wholesome pieces like his recent works, The Holdovers which earned him Best Male Actor In A Film – Musical Or Comedy.

Spanning over a 30 year career, he’s won two other Golden Globes in 2009 for Best Actor - Miniseries or TV Movie for John Adams and 2011 for Best Supporting Actor - Television in Barney’s Version. 

When he stepped up and gave his speech, we couldn't help but gaze at the absolutely stunning piece that appeared on his wrist. 

 

Golden Globes 2024 Watch Type - Chopard L.U.C. XPS

The Chopard L.U.C is a beautiful tribute to the founder of Chopard, Louis-Ulysse Chopard. Designed to be elegant and reserved for special occasions, take note of how Paul Giamatti makes the piece the main focal point! We see that covert wrist spin when on stage!

Crafted at 40mm of ethically sourced white gold, the models are incredibly thin as a pancake at 7.20mm. Water resistant to 30 metres, we wouldn't recommend diving headfirst into the sea, but it should cope with a brisk shower. Given an exhibition style caseback, you can bask in the greatness of the high quality L.U.C 96.12-L movement. However, we’ll cover the dial first…

Given a glossy black shade, this is attained through galvanic treatment which is then solely finished on the L.U.CHOPARD text below 12 o’clock with both a sunburst and satin-brushed aesthetic. How’s that for precision!

The sharpened baton hour markers and hands keep with the white gold case, as well as the sunburst finished small seconds counter at 6 o’clock. Powered by the L.U.C 96.12-L movement, these watches beat at 28,800VpH, have a 65 hour power reserve with COSC certification. 

Fitted onto a black leather strap, Giamatti pulls this off with panache decked in a stylish black suit, black bow tie and white shirt. Classic, timeless with the perfect model to match!

Conclusion

 

The Golden Globes 2024 has been another fantastic spectacle. It yielded a brilliant 9.4 million viewers which is up from the 2023 figures of 6.25 million. Who needs sponsorships when you can get your brand laid out on a celebs wrist for 9.4 million people to swoon over?

Oh, and one more mention for you horophiles. We spotted actor Justin Hartley who decided to wear a Rolex Day-Date in rose gold. Crafted out of the luxury precious metal, the dial is given a beautiful chocolate shade, keeping with Hartley’s stunning brown suit that he flaunted on the rouge hued carpet. 

An interesting talking point is about the presence of Omega at the event. Covering actors like Will Ferrell, Barry Keoghan and Kevin Costner, could there be a very subtle product placement that has flown under the red carpet radar? Maybe we are being sceptical and the brand is simply chosen due to its incredible range of collections…We’ll save the magic ball for a later date!
