Celebrity Watches at the 79th BAFTA Ceremony

On February 22, the 79th BAFTA Awards ceremony took place in London. Paul Thomas Anderson's film "Battle for Battle" emerged as the triumphant winner, claiming six awards. Timothée Chalamet and Leonardo DiCaprio went home without awards, losing the Best Actor title to Robert Aramayo ("I Swear"). Jessie Buckley was recognized as Best Actress for her role in the film "Ghamnet". However, our focus was more on the watches worn by the stars on the red carpet.

Leo's choice is no surprise: the actor recently became a Rolex ambassador. The model itself is surprising. The watch in a white gold case was only produced for a year, making it quite a challenge to find on the secondary market.

Michael B. Jordan's choice reflects the trend of vintage women's watches on men's wrists. This particular model is from the 1970s, featuring a yellow gold case and diamonds around the perimeter.

This platinum-cased model won the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève for Best Men's Watch in 2025. For the recently revived brand Urban Jürgensen, it's a recognition of its place in the watch industry, and for Timothée Chalamet, a marker of excellent taste.

Paul Mescal is known for his love of vintage Cartier. This time he chose a model from the late 1990s, which can be described as neo-vintage. The watch is interesting because, like the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, it has a reversible case.

On Stormzy's wrist this Sunday was an Audemars Piguet model in black ceramic. It's a modern skeleton watch with dual balances, showcasing the brand's exceptional craftsmanship.

Longtime TAG Heuer friend Patrick Dempsey chose the brand's latest model from last year for the red carpet - a chronograph with a tourbillon and a beautiful purple dial.

Aaron Pierre dazzled in a black suit that evening. To complement his restrained look, the actor chose an Omega Speedmaster with a case made of Moonshine Gold alloy.

The winner of this year's award, Robert Aramayo, was seen wearing Cartier Ballon Bleu watches, which perfectly complemented his elegant image.

Ryan Coogler made history at the BAFTA Awards by becoming the first black person to win the award for Best Original Screenplay. During his victory speech, the 39-year-old Coogler's wrist sparkled with a Rolex Daytona featuring a meteorite dial.

Jesse Plemons' choice was a Longines watch from the 1940s. The model with a salmon-colored dial and a small seconds hand at the "6 o'clock" mark is a true rarity.

Ethan Hawke chose miniature Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watches with a green dial for the awards. How miniature? The case diameter is 30 mm, so the watch is clearly women's. However, we have already noted the trend of women's watches among men, and it seems this year it will continue.

The rising star of the red carpets showcased a not-so-obvious choice - the sporty Louis Vuitton Tambour with an integrated bracelet. Why is the choice not so obvious? Because there are more than enough other equally interesting models in this category.

Stellan Skarsgard wore last year's Omega novelty - watches created in honor of the Winter Olympics in Italy. Read more about them in the review.
