The 95th Academy Awards has passed without the sort of assault that marred last year’s Oscars ceremony.
That may not be great for television ratings and viral videos, but it was still an opportunity for the world’s most prestigious watchmakers to share a glimpse of their precious timekeepers on the wrists of its biggest stars.
Red carpet events (in this year’s case it was a champagne-colour carpet) are not ideal for showcasing products measuring an inch across and mostly hidden beneath a perfectly tailored cuff, but the PR teams have been ready to give us their close-ups, so here are the stars and their arms from the 2023 Oscars.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson wears TAG Heuer
Action hard man Dwayne Johnson wore a TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 200 Date.
The 40mm watch has a black sunray dial with a smoky finish.
Lenny Kravitz
Lenny Kravitz walked the 2023 Academy Awards champange-coloured carpet wearing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Duoface Small Seconds.
With its two dials driven by a single mechanical movement, the Reverso Classic Medium Duo Small Seconds watch offers travelers two time zones in an elegant steel case.
Brendan Fraser
Winner of the Actor in a Leading Role category for The Whale, Brendan Fraser wore an Omega Speedmaster Chronoscope in stainless steel.
