Timothée Chalamet’s Cartier Crash and Other Watches Spotted at the Golden Globes

The red carpet is almost always just as exciting as the actual awards itself. And while this has often meant that all eyes are on the outfit choices and jewellery, at this year’s Golden Globes, it’s the watches that have caught our eyes. And the one watch that everyone can’t stop talking about is Timothée Chalamet’s Cartier Crash.

The Cartier Crash is decidedly the most desirable watch of all time, and it’s not out of the blue that Chalamet, a Cartier ambassador, would sport a watch from the brand. What has come as a welcome surprise is that he would choose a ladies’ version. The watch he wore to the Golden Globes ia a white-gold diamond-encrusted Crash that sees diamonds on the bezel as well as all around the bracelet. It went superbly with his embroidered jacket and outfit from Celine by Hedi Slimane.

Chalamet’s Cartier Crash wasn’t the only horological delight on the Golden Globes red carpet. Robert Downey Jr, who won Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture for his role in Oppenheimer, wore an impeccable Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph in pink gold, a dual-faced masterpiece that had a sunray black dial on one side, and an open-worked reverse side that showed the details of the in-house Calibre 860 and the mechanics of the retrograde chronograph.

Cillian Murphy, Downey Jr’s co-star and winner of Best Male Actor in a Motion Picture, wore an equally dressy timepiece on the red carpet, an Omega De Ville Trésor in Sedna Gold with a deep burgundy dial. Quite a few Omegas were spotted on the red carpet, including a bejewelled Seamaster Aqua Terra in Sedna Gold that came with a snow-set diamond dial with ruby hour markers worn by actor Barry Keoghan that matched with his all-red ensemble by Louis Vuitton. Keoghan was nominated for the Best Male Actor award for his role in Saltburn.

Bradley Cooper, who is an ambassador at Louis Vuitton, turned up on the Golden Globes red carpet in full LV, including a blue version of the Tambour watch he shot a commercial for earlier last year. Blue’s clearly always a winning colour, as we see Simu Liu sporting a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Retrograde Day-Date in the elegant shade.

Paul Giomatti, who celebrates his win for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy, was a figure of understated luxury. The actor opted for a sleek L.U.C XPS watch in stainless steel with a black dial and matched it with cufflinks with 2.20-carats of trapeze cut diamonds and black guilloche inlays set in 18k white gold, both from Chopard.

The ladies too are putting their best wrist forward. Selena Gomez, who was nominated for Best Female Actor in a TV series – Musical or Comedy for her role in Only Murders in the Building, was decked out in Bvlgari jewels, including a Serpenti high jewellery watch with a diamond-studded double spiral bracelet, which she paired with a custom Giorgio Armani gown with cut-outs.

And last but not least, Michelle Yeoh, steadfastly loyal to her favourite brand Richard Mille, turned heads with the RM 67-01 on her wrist. The rest of her jewellery was fairly minimal, gold drop rings and earrings from Bottega Veneta to go with the brand’s strapless dress with a tulip neckline.

Here’s where to watch the award-winning titles from the Golden Globes 2024.
