A-Listers Showcase Luxury Timepieces on the Red Carpet During 2026 Awards Season
During the 2026 awards season, Hollywood’s A-list actors have made a notable effort to showcase their luxury timepieces, ensuring that their watches are prominently displayed beyond the cuffs of their tailored suits and tuxedos. This trend has emerged as a response to the increased interest in high-end watches and collectibles that surged during the pandemic. Fernanda Zapata, founder and president of Gigantem, a boutique agency representing prestigious watch brands, remarked that “the wrist became valuable real estate” in this context.
The Influence of Brand Ambassadors
High-profile brand ambassador contracts often stipulate that actors must display their timepieces at major red carpet events. Zapata frequently communicates with agencies that employ red carpet photographers, expressing her interest in acquiring images that feature wrist shots. This practice explains why stars often hear prompts like, “Show us your watch!” while on the carpet.
