The British celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay was on Instagram this week in his culinary uniform wearing a Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time 5164R in rose gold with a brown embossed dial and gold applied numerals. This timepiece indicates a second time zone with an additional skeletonized hand that can be hidden behind the hour hand when its owner is not traveling. It works via two buttons on the left-hand side of the case that can be used to move the local time hour hand backward and forward in one-hour increments. The date is also coupled with the local time indication. The price tag of this timepiece is $63,040.

Grammy award-winning musician Billy Strings was a guest on Jimmy Fallon’s Thanksgiving edition of The Tonight Show this week wearing a Vanguart Orb. The guitarist is known for his watch collection which focuses on neo-vintage, modern independent timepieces, and high complications. The Vanguart Orb fits perfectly into this segment with its hand-finished flying tourbillon movement that allows the user to alternate between automatic and manual modes. What makes the Orb stand out is its sloped PVD-coated titanium track for the orbital oscillating weight. When in automatic mode, the 2 mm diamond-set orbital weight begins revolving around its track as if it is floating within the timepiece. When the watch is switched into manual mode, however, the weight is locked in place. This timepiece can be found at Material Good in New York for $150,000.

Prolific watch collector, DJ Khaled, was spotted with Dwyane Wade this week at the We The Best Foundation x Jordan Golf Classic Celebrity Golf Tournament at Miami Beach Golf Club.

In the centre of the dial is a laser-engraved white gold Black Panther that has been hand-finished with engraving and painting to create a striking figure at the center of the dial. This timepiece costs in the region of $171,200.

Will Smith was seen this week on Instagram flaunting a new Jacob & Co. Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Baguette Diamonds timepiece. His friend teases him about him not being able to read the time, so he shows  the watch to the camera explaining how it moves just like a Bugatti Chiron engine. The watch is shaped like Bugatti’s signature horseshoe-shaped grill and comes in a 44 mm rose gold case adorned with baguette-cut diamonds. The automaton is a direct reference to Bugatti’s W16 engine block and includes other hypercar details, such as a power reserve shaped like a fuel gauge, a tourbillon carriage in the form of a radiator, and a structure like exhaust pipes. The watch is made up of over 500 components and will set you back $1.2 million.

Actress and producer Kiki Layne was spotted at the premiere of her new film The Brutalist in Los Angeles this week wearing a TAG Heuer Aquaracer Date in a bi-color, stainless steel and yellow gold case. Following the current “mini” trend in wristwatches, this 27 mm wristwatch comes with a mother-of-pearl dial studded with diamonds and a diamond-set bezel. It is powered by a quartz movement and is water resistant to an impressive 300 meters. Other features include a three-link integrated bracelet and a date at three o’clock. You can expect to pay $5,350 for this wristwatch.

Irish actor Paul Mescal was on the red carpet this week in yet another vintage Cartier. He was attending The American Museum of Natural History’s 2024 Museum Gala in New York City wearing a large, square, Cartier Incurvé in yellow gold from circa 1970. The Cartier Incurvé is one of the rarer, less documented designs from the French Maison, although Mr. Mescal will probably change that!  The watch was made in three sizes and features Cartier’s signature black Roman numerals, railway minute track, and cabochon crown. You can expect to pay between $2,000 and $7000 for a model on the pre-loved market.

Boston Celtics basketball player, Jayson Tatum, was seen off the court this week wearing his Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Double Balance Openworked timepiece. The five-time NBA All-Star has quite a collection of timepieces, and the Royal Oak would appear to be one of his favorites. Housed in a 41 mm stainless steel case, this timepiece is powered by one of the brand’s most precise movements thanks to its second balance wheel and balance-spring assembly, which is on the same axis. This patented system involves a very complex manufacturing process but the payoff in terms of precision is huge. It is fitted with a slate gray skeletonized dial that is enhanced with pink gold applied hour markers. The price tag for this timepiece is $76,400.
