The Oscars are of one the most anticipated events of the year as the most stunning stars of Hollywood come together to display their best style. From there, new trends begin and are talked about, desired and followed by the rest of the world. Tag Heuer, IWC, Piaget, Omega, Chopad are the kind of classic wristwatches spotted at this star-studded event.
Leonardo Dicaprio’s Tag Heuer Carrera 1887 Chronograph wristwatch is the perfect finishing touch to his black suite and bow tie. The croc fashioned black leather strap, sturdy steel case and gold dial accents are attractive features of this spectacular vintage watch. Made in the 18th century, this timeless Tag Heuer Carrera Caliber is an edition inspired by road racing. Besides being a beautiful timepiece, it also comes with futuristic functions such as an automatic chronograph, anti-scratch curved sapphire crystal, double-anti reflective treatment, waterproof mechanism and a date window.
Another star who appeared on the red carpet in a classic wristwatch is actor Bradley Cooper. His choice of wristwatch is exquisite and perfect for the event and it’s none other than a limited edition Chopard L.U.C 1937. It is a stainless steel watch that comes in strap variations of leather and heavy metal. 100 meter water resistance, COSC certified chronograph, self winding mechanical movements and scratch resistant sapphire crystal are just some of its amazing features.
Bradley also appeared in an IWC automatic chronograph at last year’s Academy Awards, which also comes with a self-winding chronograph movement. This black dialed watch has a stainless steel body and a black leather strap.
IWC is always a popular choice for celebrities at any red carpet event and this year Kevin Spacey, who won an Oscar for best supporting actor role in The Usual Suspects, was spotted in limited edition IWC Portuguese yacht club chronograph “Laureus Sport for Good Foundation”. It has an elegant blue dial with Arabic numerals, while the strap is finished in alligator leather. IWC donates a certain percent from each purchase to Laureus Sport for Good Foundation.
Chopard is known for luxury, which is why it is such a popular choice for celebrities like Cate Blanchett, the Oscar winner for her performance in Blue Jasmine. Another Oscar winner, and one of our favorites, Matthew McConaughey recently sported a Chopard L.U.C. XP Tonneau. 18 carat white gold crown and buckle material, see-through sapphire crystal case back, glare-proofed scratch-resistant front glass and waterproof functions come along with chronographic movements.
Jared Leto, winner of best supporting actor for his amazing performance in Dallas Buyers Club also wins our hearts with his fashion sense. Jared arrived at Hollywood’s 86th annual Academy Awards in a white and black Saint Laurent suit with a Piaget watch. A Piaget Altiplano 40mm to be exact, the thinnest mechanical watch in the world. It has 18K white gold case, sapphire case backing, and ultra-thin self-winding mechanical movements – 3mm thin. 22K pink gold oscillating weight, 3 ATM water resistance and alligator strap are some other highlights of this exceptional wristwatch.
