Although the Met Gala has been recognized for years as a night of fashion risk-taking, the event drew attention this year for more than the outfits worn. By making their own lasting impressions, the watches presented added a little extra touch of high-end luxury to the evening.
Shah Rukh Khan embodied understated luxury with the Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5304, a rare masterpiece valued at almost 3 million dollars. Sophisticated and detailed, it matched his signature understated charm.
Stormzy made sure no one missed his wrist game. He rocked a fully iced-out Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711, a watch that costs close to 6 million dollars. Loud, bold, and unapologetically flashy, it was impossible not to stare.
Central Cee wore a Richard Mille RM30 01 worth approximately 390000$. It was sporty, sleek, and effortlessly stylish, much like his presence on the red carpet.
Tyler Perry went for drama and symbolism with the RM47 Samurai by Richard Mille, a striking piece worth 1 point 6 dollars. Inspired by the spirit of the samurai, it stood out for its intricate design.
Maluma lit up the night with the Jacob and Co Billionaire III Emerald, a dazzling piece worth 5 million dollars more spectacle than a timekeeper. Its emerald cut diamonds caught every light in the room, turning his wrist into a conversation starter of its own.
With his usual flair for the unexpected, Jeff Goldblum wore a 1 point 2 million Jacob and Co boutique watch that felt every bit as distinctive as he is. Its bold design and sharp detailing mirrored his unique sense of presence on the red carpet.
And Saquon Barkley wore the H Moser Endeavour Tourbillon, a nearly 1 million in value a watch that balanced elegance with technical brilliance.
At this year’s Met, it was not just the fashion that caught attention. It was the timepieces quietly marking their moment in the spotlight.
