Before the Oscars hands out the trophies on March 11, here’s a quick look at the male Oscar nominees and their watches

For a man, the watch he wears makes a powerful statement. It speaks volumes about his style, his personality, and whether he pays attention to the finer details in life.

When he is a major movie star, the watch transcends mere timekeeping to symbolise opulence, sophistication, and a captivating blend of charisma that defines his larger-than-life presence on and off the silver screen.

We've bore witness to this on the red carpet throughout the current awards season, from the Golden Globes to most recently the Baftas. With the Oscars just around the corner, here’s a recap at what these Oscar-nominated actors have worn to the events and their history with luxury watches.

Since becoming the Tag Heuer ambassador in 2021, Ryan Gosling has remained faithful to the brand on and off-screen. In Barbie, he rocked three vintage Tag Heuers including the ref.1158 from 1971 powered by Caliber 11. In Netflix's The Gray Man, he wore a three-hand Carrera, and strapped on a Carrera chronograph with a panda dial in the upcoming The Fall Guy.

On the red carpet, who could forget the 36mm Carrera with a bright pink dial that he took to the screening of Barbie in Toronto? At the Golden Globes, he brought out his Carrera Date with gold-plated hands.

In the lead-up to the Oscars, the Swiss manufacture has crafted specially for him a one-of-a-kind Carrera Chronograph 39mm in 8K 3N yellow gold case with a gold Milanese bracelet, which he sported at the Oscar nominees luncheon and Baftas 2024.
