Status Watches and a Splash of Sparkle

May 24, 2022

Thanks to A-listers like Harry Styles and Dwayne Wade, mixing jewelry and high-end watches is hotter than ever. Here’s a look at the latest debuts.

The convergence of Hollywood, music, and sports is driving fashion trends more than ever, and that’s particularly true of the high-wattage guys who have transformed the red carpet via their style. From Harry Styles at the Grammys to Timothée Chalamet at the Academy Awards or Dwayne Wade at the Met Gala, today’s most talked-about men have one thing in common: an adventurous approach to what they’re wearing.

Fold in both the burgeoning sustainability trend in jewelry and the exceedingly hot watch market, and there’s never been a better time for guys to consider adding either a touch of sparkle or an investment-level timepiece to their look.

With that in mind, we’ve put together six on-trend pieces sure to up your style game:

Rolex

At April’s Watches & Wonders, the annual reveal of exquisite timepieces in Geneva, Rolex made headlines with a variety of debuts, including its latest Yacht-Master 42, now available with a case, lugs and clasp in 18-karat yellow gold. The black lacquer dial is highlighted by hour markers and hands coated in Chromalight for outstanding readability and includes a date window at the 3 o’clock position.

BVLGARI

The latest pieces in Bulgari’s B.ZERO1 collection combine the glimmer of 18-karat rose gold with forward-thinking matte black ceramic, as seen in this two-band ring.

Longines

The Longines Master Collection brings together the classical elegance and excellent quality which never cease to delight those who appreciate exceptional timepieces. All fitted with self-winding movements, the various models in this collection offer many special features.

Montblanc

Equally perfect with a crisp white shirt or a navy tuxedo, these stainless-steel cufflinks from Montblanc’s Meisterstück collection showcase an elegant, blue-patterned inlay.

TAG Heuer

Inspired by a historic 1979 TAG Heuer timepiece, the just-released TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Orange Diver features a brilliant citrus-toned dial designed for maximum contrast underwater, housed in a 43-millimeter steel case and bracelet.

David Yurman

The iconic jewelry designer has introduced recycled gold into his collections, including this new piece in his Cable Edge collection. This cuff bracelet is crafted in recycled 18-karat yellow gold and embellished with pavé black diamonds to create a look that’s both classic and, with its sustainability origins, imbued with of-the-moment edge.
