Timothée Chalamet Leans Into Craft With Urban Jürgensen
Marty Supreme actor Timothée Chalamet, in his all-white tuxedo, found a perfect counterpart in the Urban Jürgensen UJ-2 Platinum. The timepiece is a creation by independent master Kari Voutilainen that rewards a second look. The white guilloché dial catches light in fine, almost imperceptible increments, alive with texture that reveals itself up close. Beneath it sits the hand-wound calibre UJ-2, featuring a double-wheel natural escapement and a power reserve of 52 hours. Housed in a 39mm platinum case, the watch also features an off-centre display with small seconds and a power reserve indicator, giving it a distinctive, slightly unconventional layout.
Robert Downey Jr. Lets Blancpain Complications Take Centre Stage
Robert Downey Jr. took the stage in sharp, classic tailoring, exuding the relaxed authority of someone at home on Hollywood’s biggest night. On his wrist, the Blancpain Bathyscaphe Quantième Complet Phases de Lune added layered complexity: a full calendar display with day, date, and month, paired with a moon phase, all housed within Blancpain’s clean, maritime-inspired case.
Shaboozey Goes All In With Chopard’s Diamond Set
Shaboozey kept things sharp with diamond lapel pins and pearl earrings, completing the look with the Chopard L’Heure du Diamant in white gold. The watch is defined by its fully diamond-set case and bracelet, with a quartz movement that keeps the focus on the jewellery execution. The diamond-set dial remains minimal, maintaining legibility and symmetry. Traditionally part of Chopard’s women’s collection, its proportions and design lean heavily into high-jewellery codes.
Nicole Kidman Returns To Omega’s Mid-Century Codes
Omega’s longstanding brand ambassador and Oscar winner, Nicole Kidman, graced the red carpet in a fluid Chanel gown with a feathered peplum and soft pink tones. For the evening, she selected a vintage Omega Sapphette 1966 watch, emerging as a subtle standout among the watches at the Oscars 2026. Crafted in white gold, the piece features a compact case, delicate lugs and a silver sunburst dial framed by diamond-set wings, bringing the look together effortlessly.
Amy Madigan Keeps It Classic With Omega Aqua Terra
A well-deserved winner for her outstanding performance as Aunt Gladys in Weapons, Amy Madigan kept her look classic in elegant eveningwear, paired with the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra. The diamond-set bezel caught the light with every movement, while the dial stayed clean and composed. The warm Moonshine gold tone complemented her ensemble, with the stone-set case adding just the right touch of brilliance.
Michael B. Jordan Revisits The Archive With Piaget
After making a statement with his Audemars Piguet Bamboo the month before, Michael B. Jordan, winner of Best Actor at the Oscars 2026, arrived wearing a Piaget Reference 9297. A 1970s yellow gold timepiece with a pavé diamond dial and black leather strap, it carries a distinct old Hollywood sensibility. Rich tones and layered detailing defined his overall look, while the Protocole’s elongated case and diamond-set surface introduced a shimmer that shifted with every turn.
Kieran Culkin Brings A Modern Edge With Hublot
The watches spotted at the Oscars 2026 were largely defined by archival revivals, while Kieran Culkin’s choice stood out for its contemporary appeal. His Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph King Gold in 18k King Gold plays with light beautifully, the satin-brushed case and polished bezel shifting with movement, while the sub-dials add depth to the dial. At 42mm, it has the right weight and presence to stand up to formal suiting without overpowering it.
Hudson Williams Wraps It Up With BVLGARI Serpenti
The internet can’t seem to get enough of Hudson Williams—and neither can we, particularly for his choice of watch at the Oscars 2026. The BVLGARI Serpenti Tubogas wrapped around his wrist, with its unmistakable, sinuous form perfectly complementing his ensemble. Crafted in stainless steel with a sleek black lacquered dial, the timepiece blends Hudson’s bold style with BVLGARI’s signature elegance, making it a standout on the red carpet.
What Defined Watches At The 2026 Oscars
From archival revivals to contemporary complications, Oscars 2026 watches captured the full spectrum of modern horology on a single red carpet. From refined vintage pieces to striking high-jewellery creations, the overall selection carried a sense of confidence and restraint, making it evident that these choices were intentional, considered, and entirely in step with the occasion.
