The 2022 Academy Awards were a memorable event in many ways, including when it came to watches. While fashion bloggers were gazing at the stars' elegant gowns and beauty fans were gazing at their glamorous makeup on the red carpet, there was also plenty for watch connoisseurs to see. Find out which luxury watches the celebrities used to complete their looks for the 2022 Oscars in this article.

Rami Malek and Jake Gyllenhaal wear their Cartier Tank watches

What could have been quite embarrassing with a suit only speaks volumes about the popularity of watches: Two stars wore the same model at the 2022 Oscars. They were actor Rami Malek—known, among other things, for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in the box office hit "Bohemian Rhapsody"—and actor and producer Jake Gyllenhaal, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2006 for his supporting role in "Brokeback Mountain." Both men chose to wear their Cartier Tank watches to this year's Oscar ceremony, and it's hard to say which star wore the exquisite model better.

US actress Tati Gabrielle, known from successful Netflix productions such as "The 100," graced the red carpet in a white gown with gold highlights.

Simu Liu's killer look with Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M

Anyone who thought only female celebrities were privileged to flaunt extravagant outfits at prestigious events will be proven wrong by Simu Liu. The Canadian actor and stuntman turned heads with a vibrant red suit, demonstrating both a sense of style and bold color. To complete the stunning look, he adorned his wrist with an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M in magnificent yellow gold. Despite the undoubtedly first-class suit, we would definitely call the watch the true star and the biggest eye-catcher of this flashy outfit.

DJ Khaled shines with the Jacob & Co. Billionaire

Glittering, glittering, DJ Khaled: If the 2022 Oscars had awarded the star with the most sparkling watch, DJ Khaled would likely have won by a wide margin. The US DJ, music producer, and actor opted for a simple black suit – in contrast to his watch! The Jacob & Co. Billionaire, which the 46-year-old wore, is encrusted with numerous high-carat diamonds and is exactly what one would call a true luxury watch. Browsing through the photos from the ceremony, only one question ultimately remains: Who shines brighter – DJ Khaled or his stunning watch?

Jacob Elordi shows off his Tag Heuer Monaco

Jacob Elordi, an actor known, among other things, from the hit series "Euphoria," made no compromises when it came to choosing a watch for the 2022 Oscars. The Australian wore a Tag Heuer Monaco – a true classic that once rose to the Olympus of watches thanks to Steve McQueen.

Nicole Kidman presents her Omega Trèsor

Nicole Kidman has been considered a true style icon for years, consistently wowing audiences with her harmonious, obviously high-quality, and sometimes extravagant outfits.

Kodi Smit-McPhee confidently relies on Cartier

In keeping with the springtime, many people prefer clothing in cheerful pastel shades. This seems to be the case for actor Kodi Smit-McPhee, at least judging by his Oscars outfit. The 25-year-old, who rose to fame as a child and, for example, starred alongside Franka Potente in "Under the Australian Sun" in 2007, brought a breath of fresh air to the red carpet in a pale blue suit. The entire look was refreshingly youthful and extremely modern and was rounded off by a luxurious watch from Cartier. The timepiece was specially made for Smit-McPhee and features an unusual snow globe effect.

Omega Constellation and Ariana DeBose as a dream team

Actress and musical star Ariana DeBose, who won an Oscar for her supporting role in "West Side Story," attended the event dressed entirely in red. She created a subtle yet powerful color contrast with the watch she wore: an Omega Constellation with a sparkling diamond bezel and a dark blue aventurine glass dial shone on her wrist.

Shawn Mendes wears a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony

There's no question: Shawn Mendes knows how to make a thoroughly elegant entrance. The Canadian singer and songwriter arrived at the Oscars wearing a bow tie and tailored jacket, adorning his wrist with a Patrimony watch by Vacheron Constantin . You can't get more classic than that!

Shaun White poses with his Omega Speedmaster

What might have been frowned upon and considered inappropriate a few years ago is now a testament to modernity and style awareness: wearing sporty watches to exclusive events. Shaun White, who, in addition to acting, is a professional snowboarder and skateboarder, shows how it's done. The 35-year-old American opted for a Speedmaster from Omega , a truly sporty model. White's watch features a sophisticated gold finish that makes it "Oscar-worthy."

Oscars 2022: Luxurious spectacle of watches

In summary, the 2022 Oscars can be described as a truly luxurious spectacle of watches. While the focus of the event was naturally on the performances of the actors and actresses, some watches on the wrists of the stars deserved their own spotlight.
