2024 Golden Globe Awards: A Night of Celebration
This past week, Beverly Hills rolled out the red carpet for the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, celebrating the brightest achievements in film and television from 2024.
It was more than just an awards night; it marked a comeback after the disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nikki Glaser made her hosting debut as the first solo female in this role, bringing a refreshing energy that sharply contrasted with last year’s performance.
Among the evening’s notable moments, “Emilia Pérez” stood out with ten nominations, making history as the most recognized film in the musical or comedy category and the first non-English-language production to clinch the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award.
Stunning Timepieces on Display
However, our focus today is not just on the accolades and glamorous fashion but on the stunning watches worn by the stars.
The 2024 Golden Globes showcased an impressive display of timepieces, and we couldn’t resist highlighting the ones that caught our eye.

Jamie’s Pick: Sebastian Stan’s Vintage Cartier Fabergé
Sebastian Stan made waves with his heartfelt acceptance speech, receiving the Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy award for his role in the thought-provoking “A Different Man.” His message emphasized inclusivity and representation in the film industry.
To complement his impactful words, Stan donned a vintage yellow gold Cartier Fabergé watch.
With its dial showcasing an exquisite dark creamy gold patina that has developed over the years, this watch, introduced in the 1970s, features a graceful tonneau case with hidden lugs that enhance its sleek aesthetic.
Russell’s Choice: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s IWC Eternal Calendar
Among our favorite timepieces was Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s IWC Eternal Calendar.
This stunning watch, which debuted at Watches and Wonders, grabbed my attention not only for its intricate mechanics—having earned a Guinness World Record and accolades at last year’s GPHG—but also for how it looked on Johnson’s muscular wrist.
At 44.4mm, the watch appeared almost diminutive against his powerful frame, demonstrating the art of showcasing a watch in style, especially on an A-list star.
While I’m keen to learn more about its complex workings, it’s clear that Johnson is perfectly suited to highlight such a remarkable piece.
Buffy’s Highlight: Nicole Kidman’s Vintage Omega Cocktail Watch
Nicole Kidman never ceases to impress with her evolving career, and her red-carpet choices continue to excite.
This year, she stole the show with a century-old Omega cocktail watch that exemplifies exquisite Art Deco design.
The watch, crafted from solid platinum, features intricate filigree against striking geometric patterns.
Its tonneau-shaped dial, beautifully aged, is adorned with whimsical Arabic numerals and elegantly heat-blued hands, making it a true masterpiece of horology.
More Notable Timepieces
Borna’s Favorite: Jake Gyllenhaal’s Cartier Tortue
Jake Gyllenhaal, known for his role in “Presumed Innocent,” also opted for Cartier, sporting a vintage-inspired Tortue in yellow gold.
This piece pays tribute to its 1920s roots, featuring a straightforward dial with Breguet hands that lend an air of understated elegance.
An interesting detail is how Gyllenhaal’s team replaced the standard dark blue leather strap with a sleek black option, enhancing the watch’s overall aesthetic.
Zach’s Selection: Kieran Culkin’s Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Shades Terracotta 38mm
Kieran Culkin turned heads by wearing the Aqua Terra Shades Terracotta, a watch that deserves more appreciation than it usually gets.
Unlike the conventional Datejust models, this one skips the Cyclops lens at the 3 o’clock mark, framing the date instead at 6 o’clock.
I believe a color-matched date disc could elevate its design.
However, the colored dials in this collection are exceptional, with the terracotta variant captivating my attention most.
Its great size, practical micro-adjustable bracelet, and a METAS-certified Co-Axial in-house movement make it truly stand out among the competition.
In summary, the Golden Globes weren’t merely about films or fashion; they also showcased an impressive array of timepieces that embodied elegance and craftsmanship.
Whether it was the heartfelt speeches or the stunning watches, it was a night to remember!
