From Omega to Audemars Piguet, here are the standout watches that stole the spotlight on the 2025 Emmy Awards red carpet.
Award shows have always been about signaling prestige, but this year’s Emmys took it to horological extremes. Perpetual calendars, frosted gold icons, and even a surprise Breguet appeared under the lights, turning the carpet into something closer to a watch salon than a Hollywood step-and-repeat. It was not just about flexing wealth. Some pieces revealed genuine collector instincts, the kind you would expect to spot in Geneva rather than Los Angeles. Others were stylist-driven wildcards, designed to dazzle more than to educate. Taken together, the lineup showed just how deeply watches have become part of Hollywood’s language of taste in 2025.
The Speedmaster has always carried cultural weight, from lunar missions to decades of collector loyalty. Domingo’s two-tone version added Hollywood sheen without losing the credibility baked into the model’s history. It was a reminder that prestige on the carpet does not always mean chasing novelty. Sometimes the strongest move is reframing an icon in a new setting.
The biggest curveball of the night came from Bargatze, who wore Breguet’s new Souscription. Grand Feu enamel dial, razor-thin case, and numerals that trace back to Abraham-Louis himself made it a watch far more likely to surface at a collector’s meetup than on primetime television. For casual viewers it may have looked understated, but for those who know, it was a move loaded with historical weight and subtle authority.
Goggins traded his usual gold Rolex for one of Vacheron’s most serious pieces, a pink-gold Overseas perpetual calendar. Ultra-thin yet visually commanding, it was technical refinement wrapped in decadence. The choice placed him firmly in the realm of true collector credibility, a sharp evolution from the perhaps flashier watches he's worn in the past.
Tillman’s CODE 11.59 perpetual calendar brought a modernist counterpoint to the carpet. Smoked blue embossed detailing caught the light with grace, while the sculpted case design showcased the kind of detail and depth that collectors have come to admire in recent iterations. Less about heritage, more about where AP wants to take high complications, it was one of the night’s most forward-looking choices.
Marsden opted for understatement with a Portofino equipped with a complete calendar. Day, date, month, and moon phase arranged in IWC’s clean layout offered just enough intrigue without overwhelming the tuxedo beside it. In a lineup dominated by perpetual calendars and frosted gold flexes, Marsden’s watch worked as the antidote, a reminder that elegance can still cut through the noise.
Where others nodded to history or technicality, Blanco went straight for spectacle. His frosted yellow-gold Royal Oak glittered like jewelry under the cameras, unapologetically maximalist and impossible to ignore. Larger than life, playful, and impossible to miss—very Benny Blanco.
