At the Oscars, time is not measured only by the unfolding of the ceremony. On the red carpet, it becomes a subtle language of elegance, expressed through the watches worn by actors and guests. Among impeccably tailored tuxedos and refined jewelry, haute horlogerie once again emerges as a discreet yet powerful statement, reflecting heritage, craftsmanship and personal style.

Pedro Pascal completed his look with Chanel accessories and the BOY·FRIEND watch in BEIGE GOLD with an alligator-pattern calfskin strap. The watch accompanied a white poplin tuxedo shirt embellished with pearl buttons, a cotton piqué plastron adorned with a silk and feather brooch, black grain de poudre tuxedo pants and a black tuxedo belt.

Rami Malel, Cartier’s ambassador

Rami Malek chose a Tank Must de Cartier watch, large model in steel with a leather strap. The piece embodies the timeless restraint of one of Cartier’s most iconic designs, whose clean geometry and balanced proportions continue to define understated sophistication on the red carpet.

Patrick Schwarzenegger

Patrick Schwarzenegger opted for a layered Cartier selection that blends watchmaking and jewelry. He wore a Santos de Cartier long chain necklace in 18k yellow gold together with a Tank Louis Cartier watch, medium model in 18k yellow gold with a leather strap. The look was completed with two Trinity de Cartier cushion-shaped rings in 18k white, yellow and rose gold, an emblematic design that symbolizes harmony through the union of three precious metals.

Jacob Elordi, Cartier’s ambassador

Jacob Elordi embraced a more opulent aesthetic through an elaborate combination of timepiece and high jewelry. At the center of the look was the Cartier Tank à Guichets watch in platinum with a leather strap, a rare and highly collectible model distinguished by its digital-style jumping hour display. He paired it with C de Cartier stud earrings in 18k white gold and diamonds, a Santos de Cartier chain bracelet in white gold, Cartier Héritage cufflinks in white gold with onyx and diamonds, a Broderie de Cartier triple-row ring in white gold with diamonds and a Panthère de Cartier ring in white gold set with diamonds, onyx and emeralds.

Paul Mescal

Paul Mescal favored a minimalist approach, wearing a Tank Louis Cartier watch in the mini model crafted in 18k yellow gold with a leather strap. The refined simplicity of the watch was complemented by a Juste un Clou single hoop earring in 18k yellow gold, reflecting Cartier’s modern jewelry language.

Ryan Coogler

Ryan Coogler chose a conceptually rich ensemble anchored by the Clash de Cartier [Un]limited chain pocket gem in rhodiumized 18k white gold with onyx and diamonds. His wrist featured the Cartier Tank à Guichets watch in platinum with a leather strap. The look was further enriched with pieces from the Cartier Collection: a 2005 ring in 18k white gold with diamonds and black lacquer and a Maillon Panthère ring from 2015 in white gold set with diamonds.

Manu Ríos

Manu Ríos appeared with a luminous combination of Cartier pieces, including C de Cartier stud earrings in 18k white gold with diamonds, a Tank Américaine watch in white gold set with diamonds and a Panthère de Cartier ring adorned with emeralds, onyx and diamonds.

Gabriel Leone

Beyond Cartier, other renowned watchmakers were also present on the red carpet. Hudson Williams wore a Bulgari Serpenti Tubogas watch in steel with diamonds set on the bezel, while Gabriel Leone chose the contemporary architecture of the Octo Roma watch.

Domhnall Gleeson

Domhnall Gleeson selected the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds. With its rectangular case measuring only 7.56 mm in thickness, the watch maintains the iconic slide-and-swivel mechanism composed of more than fifty components, designed to follow the natural curve of the wrist. Created more than ninety years ago, the mechanism is crafted with exceptional precision, even the interior of the cradle finished with a delicate sunray engraving.

Usher

Usher opted for the Jaeger-LeCoultre Rendez-Vous Classic Night & Day in pink gold. Available in 29 mm or 34 mm versions, the timepiece presents a refined silhouette and an open sapphire case back revealing the automatic calibre developed, crafted and assembled in the manufacture’s workshops in the Vallée de Joux.

While the Oscars red carpet is often remembered for its couture silhouettes and dazzling jewelry, watches offer a quieter narrative. Each timepiece becomes a reflection of heritage, craftsmanship and personality, transforming the measurement of time into an expression of style.
