James Marsden: IWC Portugieser Automatic 42 (Ref. IW501705)
Actor James Marsden was seen at the premiere of Paramount’s Sonic The Hedgehog 3 this week at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. Marsden serves as an official brand ambassador for IWC and was the first to use IWC’s configurator to create his own Ingenieur Chronograph. This week, he was wearing the IWC Portugieser Automatic, featuring a 42 mm stainless steel case, a “dune” colored dial, and gold-plated hands and gold appliques that complement the dial. The watch is powered by the IWC Manufacture Calibre 52011 that offers an impressive seven-day (168 hour) power reserve. The timepiece will cost you $12,800.
Andy Cohen: Rolex Day-Date Platinum 40
Producer and actor Andy Cohen was spotted in New York City this week for the SiriusXM’s 10th Annual Radio Andy Holiday Hangout, accompanied by Amy Sedaris. On his wrist was the latest Rolex Oyster Perpetual Day Date housed in a 40 mm platinum case and fitted with an ice-blue dial. This particular dial hue is reserved for Rolex’s platinum models and can be found on the Day-Date, Cosmograph Daytona, and Perpetual 1908 models. The watch is powered by the Caliber 3255, a bidirectional selfwinding movement with precision of -2/+2 seconds/day. Expect to pay around $68,000 for this timepiece.
Central Cee: Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time
British rapper and songwriter Central Cee is best known for his songs “Day in the Life” and “Loading,” which showcase his blend of UK drill with elements of melodic trap and hip-hop. Not only does Cee have his own musical style, but also his own fashion style that he was pairing with a rose gold Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time this week. This practical timepiece enables the user to see local time and travel time instantaneously. The two buttons on the left side of the case allow the local-time hour hand to be moved backward and forward in one-hour increments. The date is also coupled with the local time indication. The price tag for the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time is $63,040.
Steve Wozniak: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional
Co-Founder of Apple Inc., Steve Wozniak was in Bienne, Switzerland this week to talk about one of his latest projects called Privateer, which he co-founded with tech entrepreneur Alex Fielding. Privateer assists manned spacecraft, as well as the essential services that Earth relies on – think GPS and climate monitoring – by creating a data infrastructure that provides a real-time map of all the satellites and space debris surrounding Earth, all for free. Both gentlemen are Omega fans and were in Bienne for a tour of the brand’s museum and facilities. They were sporting some great wristwear in the form of Omega’s Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional with a black dial and Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861. The price tag on the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional is around $7,000.
Will Ferrell: Rolex Submariner Date
Actor Will Ferrell was photographed on the red carpet this week wearing a Rolex Submariner Date. This model is best known by its nickname “The Hulk” thanks to its green Cerachrom bezel with platinum-filled numerals and a sunburst green dial. This was the first Rolex Submariner to be fitted with a green dial and debuted at the BaselWorld watch fair in 2010. Initially, the model with the black dial and green bezel was the most sought-after version, but when rumors began that Rolex wanted to discontinue the all-green “Hulk”, prices started to rise. Prices have settled down since, but it remains a hot model among Rolex enthusiasts. The price of a vintage “Hulk” on the secondary market ranges between $16,000 and $22,000.
Patrick Mahomes: Rolex Date-Just 41
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback loves Rolex so much that he showered his offensive line with Rolex Date-Just 41 models this week. The gift package was posted on the Kansas City Chiefs social media with the Rolex Date-Just 41 taking pride of place in its green box. The timepiece comes in a 41 mm Oystersteel case with a white lacquer dial and Jubilee bracelet. It is powered by Rolex’s Calibre 3235 selfwinding movement that has a 70-hour power reserve. Expect to pay around $11,000 for this timepiece.
Emeril Lagasse: Rolex Sky-Dweller
Celebrity chef, restaurateur, television personality, cookbook author, and National Best Recipe award winner Emeril Lagasse was in the kitchen this week, timing his dishes with a Rolex Sky-Dweller. This 42 mm white gold timepiece features a black dial with red and white details. The beauty of this timepiece is that it has an annual calendar complication that only needs adjusting once a year, when February turns to March. The current month is displayed in red in one of the dozen windows that punctuate the hour markers around the outside of the dial, while the date is indicated via a central ring with a red and white arrow. The Rolex Sky-Dweller will set you back in the region of $47,600.
