Recently celebrities have been showing off their luxury watches, and especially the fancy versions. Super luxury watches are exploding on the sport star and movie star scene right now - everyone who is anyone is wearing something amazing on their wrist!
Take a look ...
The irrepressible Tom Cruise hitting the red carpet for his latest movie was wearing a sleek Vacheron Constantin timepiece. A $120,000 haute complication from the world’s oldest watchmaker. Very Tom.
Based on the standard Overseas, this one features a highly complex perpetual calendar movement that will display the correct day, date, month and moon phase for the next 78 years without requiring any adjustment.
Love him or hate him Tiger Woods certainly has great watch sense. Pictured in his Rolex Deepsea, he's a real fan of this watch, wearing it all the time.
Woods’ Deepsea features the D-Blue dial, whose blue-to-black gradient is inspired by the gradual fading of light as you descend underwater, rated water-resistant to an extremely impressive 12,800 feet.
Sticking with golf and sticking Rolex, but choosing to be stand out kind of different is Scotty Scheffler’s Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 with its unmissable 'Coral Red' dial. Launched in summer 2020, the red-dialed OP (along with both Tiffany blue and yellow versions) quickly became one of the hottest (and hardest-to-buy) pieces from Rolex. If you are hoping to buy one now, you'll have to bid for it (- and pay up to ten times its original value) since Rolex recently quietly discontinued them earlier this year.
Talked about as the latest 'Man about Town' Formula One’s George Russell is no stranger to luxury. Custom suits, fashion lines, fast cars and his watches. The including an all-black IWC Pilot Watch Double Chronograph Top Gun Ceratanium worth US$12,600, is often pictured on his wrist.
He also partnered with British watchmaker Bremont to create an F1-inspired timepiece. He was also featured wearing a much lower spec but highly desirable IWC Pilot Watch Chronograph 41 Edition, created in partnership with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One Team.
It's not often a celebrity watch list incudes NBA players. But four-time NBA champion Klay Thompson is wearing a gold-on-gold Vacheron Constantin 222. Originally this was introduced in 1978 for the brand’s 222nd anniversary. VC only produced the watch for eight years and made just a couple of thousand during that time period. Obviously this has made the watch super hard to get hold of and highly desirable. Now this year, Vacheron have brought back the 222— and Thompson's got one.
Hailed as one of 2022 best releases is the Platinum Rolex Day-Date. The fancy ice-blue dial contrasts well with the platinum.
Chris Hemsworth’s Rolex Day-Date is the even fancier version of the platinum Day-Date with a diamond-set bezel.
