A closer look at the standout watches worn at the 83rd Golden Globes, from modern classics to quiet collector flexes worth a second glance.
The Golden Globes tend to reveal more about watch culture than most red carpets. The room is looser. Champagne shows up early. Camera flashes hit from odd angles. Watches aren’t just chosen to “match” a tux, they’re chosen to survive movement, lighting, and scrutiny without explanation.
This year’s ceremony skewed confident rather than loud. Fewer novelty plays, more watches that assumed you’d notice eventually. Some were openly celebratory. Others felt personal. A few were unmistakable tells for people who care deeply and quietly.
These were the watches worth a closer look.
Clooney wearing an Aqua Terra makes immediate sense. The 41mm case sits cleanly under a cuff, and the gradient blue dial reads composed rather than flashy under harsh lighting. Nothing about it asks for attention. It just holds it.
Domingo’s Speedmaster sits somewhere between tradition and theater. The green dial and diamond-set bezel give it red carpet presence without tipping into costume, while the familiar Speedmaster profile keeps it grounded. Ever so slightly unconventional, albeit with intention.
This watch doesn’t pretend to be subtle. White gold, fully set, immediately legible from across the room. Under flash photography, it reads as jewelry first and sports watch second. Maximal, unapologetic, and a little absurd in the best way.
Chalamet continues to make watch choices that feel personal rather than strategic. The UJ-2 doesn’t announce itself, especially not on a carpet filled with diamonds and gold. It rewards the second glance. Maybe the third.
Frosted gold was practically made for camera flashes. This 34mm Royal Oak catches light in motion, with its speckled surface softening the geometry just enough to feel playful rather than rigid. It sparkles, and it’s unmistakably Royal Oak.
This Daytona doesn’t need help from the outfit. The white gold case and black Cerachrom bezel already do the talking, with the red “100” on the bezel quietly signaling why this reference exists at all.
Showing up with two watches feels excessive in theory. In practice, it’s perfectly on brand for Mr. Wonderful.
The Tank Asymétrique “Temple” is classic Cartier thinking turned sideways, architectural and slightly surreal in platinum. The Chronomètre à Résonance is a different kind of flex entirely, quieter and more cerebral, built around an idea rather than spectacle.
The modern Tambour has settled into itself. Slimmer, sharper, and more resolved than earlier iterations, this steel-and-rose-gold version reads clean on the wrist and confident without leaning on logos.
This is restraint done properly. A perpetual calendar in an ultra-thin case, executed without visual clutter, finished with a deep burgundy dial that adds warmth rather than noise. Not the loudest watch in the room, but possibly the most composed.
