The Watches of the Oscars 2022
The 2022 Academy Awards were a memorable event in many respects, including when it came to watches. Because while fashion bloggers were focusing on the gallant gowns and beauty fans on the glamorous make-up of the stars on the red carpet, there was also plenty for watch connoisseurs to see. In this article you will find out which luxury watches the celebrities used to complete their looks for the 2022 Oscars.
Rami Malek and Jake Gyllenhaal wear their Cartier Tank watches
What could have been rather embarrassing with a suit only speaks for a watch's popularity: Two stars wore the very same model at the 2022 Oscars. We are talking about 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 back in 2006 for his supporting role in "Brokeback Mountain". Both gentlemen decided to take their Cartier Tank watches out to this year's Academy Awards, and it is almost impossible to say which star the exquisite model suits better.

American actress Tati Gabrielle, known among other things from successful Netflix productions such as "The 100", graced the red carpet in a white gown with golden highlights. She paired it with an Omega DeVille Prestige in a two-tone version with a refined diamond bezel – a breathtaking sight and a wonderful example of an outfit whose glamorous effect is multiplied by a high-quality watch.
Simu Liu's knockout look with an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M
Anyone who thought only female celebrities were allowed to make a splash with extravagant outfits at prestigious events will be proven wrong by Simu Liu. The Canadian actor and stuntman drew all eyes with a rich red suit, demonstrating both a sense of style and the courage to wear colour. To crown this knockout look, he adorned his wrist with an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M in magnificent yellow gold. Despite the undoubtedly first-class suit, we would quite clearly call the watch the true protagonist and the biggest eye-catcher of this vibrant outfit.
DJ Khaled competes for the brightest shine with the Jacob & Co. Billionaire
Glittering, more glittering, DJ Khaled: Had there been an award at the 2022 Oscars for the star with the most sparkling watch, DJ Khaled would probably have won by a wide margin. The American DJ, music producer and actor opted for black simplicity in his suit – in contrast to his watch. The Jacob & Co. Billionaire worn by the 46-year-old is set with numerous high-carat diamonds and is exactly what people mean when they speak of a true luxury watch. When you browse through the pictures of the ceremony, ultimately only one question remains: Who shines brighter – DJ Khaled or his dream watch?
Jacob Elordi appears with a Tag Heuer Monaco
Jacob Elordi, an actor by profession and known, among other things, from the hit series "Euphoria", made no compromises when it came to choosing his watch for the 2022 Oscars. The Australian appeared with a Tag Heuer Monaco on his wrist – a true classic that once rose to the Olympus of watches thanks to Steve McQueen.
Nicole Kidman presents her Omega Trésor
Nicole Kidman has been regarded as a true style icon for years and repeatedly delights with appearances in harmonious, obviously high-quality and at times extravagant outfits. At the 2022 Oscars, the famous actress was wrapped in a strapless gown by Armani Privé and was not stingy with accessories: Alongside an elegant necklace and delicate bracelets, she wore her Omega Trésor watch, showing once again what stylish elegance looks like in perfection.
IWC on Tyler Perry's wrist
Actor, producer and screenwriter Tyler Perry was seen on stage with a Swiss watch: The American attended the Academy Awards wearing a hand-wound Portofino from IWC, and the attentive observer could not fail to notice how wonderfully watch and wearer harmonised in a classic, smart overall look.
Kodi Smit-McPhee confidently opts for Cartier
In keeping with springtime, many people prefer to reach for clothing in cheerful pastel shades. Actor Kodi Smit-McPhee probably feels the same way, at least judging by his Oscars outfit. The 25-year-old, who became famous as a child and, for example, starred alongside Franka Potente in "Romulus, My Father" in 2007, brought a breath of fresh air to the red carpet in a pale blue suit. The entire look appeared refreshingly youthful as well as extremely modern and was rounded off by a luxurious watch from the house of Cartier. The timepiece was made especially for Smit-McPhee and features an extraordinary snow globe effect.
Omega Constellation and Ariana DeBose as a dream team
Actress and musical performer Ariana DeBose, who won an Oscar for her supporting role in "West Side Story", attended the event dressed entirely in red. With the watch she wore, she created a subtle yet powerful colour contrast: 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
No question about it: Shawn Mendes knows how to make a thoroughly elegant appearance. The Canadian singer and songwriter came to the Academy Awards in a bow tie and tailored jacket and adorned his wrist with a Patrimony from Vacheron Constantin. Classic elegance does not get any better than this.
Shaun White poses with his Omega Speedmaster
What might have attracted negative attention and been considered inappropriate a few years ago is now a sign of modernity and style awareness: Wearing sporty watches at exclusive events. Shaun White, who besides acting is a professional snowboarder and skateboarder, shows how it's done. When it came to his watch, the 35-year-old American opted for a Speedmaster from Omega, an absolutely sporty model. White's example is distinguished by a refined gold tone that makes the watch "Oscars-worthy".
Oscars 2022: A luxurious spectacle of watches
In summary, the 2022 Oscars can be described as a truly luxurious spectacle of watches. Even though the focus of the event was naturally on the achievements of the actors and actresses, many a watch on the stars' wrists would have deserved its own spotlight.
