Are you in the market for a luxury watch? Your favorite celebrity could play a role in the watch you choose. Various luxury watch brands partner with influencers that align with their image to help consumers identify the watches that fit their aesthetic.
Luxury watches have been endorsed by everyone from Lady Gaga to Nicholas Ivanoff. Find out who’s wearing your favorite watches and how to emulate top celebrities.
The Tudor brand was founded by Hans Wilsdorf in 1926 in Geneva, Switzerland. It was introduced to make luxury watches more accessible. Though the company started producing watches for the military and professional divers, it soon became a favorite among the stylish elite.
Tudor watches were named after the Tudor Dynasty in England, a time that brought significant changes in art and literature. The style was characterized by structured, elaborate clothing and architecture, which Gaga embraces in her stage garb and even lives in a Tudor-style mansion. Her partnership with the Tudor watch family was an obvious match.
The pop star can be seen sporting a Tudor 41 mm steel automatic Black Bay Red model in the watch brand’s #BorntoDare campaign, complementing her typically daring looks. The watch’s red bezel stands out from her bold, black attire. The company also mentioned that her philanthropic efforts and affinity with the LGBT+ community solidified her position as an ambassador for the company.
Luxury watches are typically designed with more than fashion in mind. Their rugged features offer optimal weather resistance and timing capabilities. As a result, they are ideal for athletes like David Beckham, who was also inducted as a Tudor brand ambassador.
Beckham appears on the Tudor website wearing various watch models, although his favorites are the new Black Bay 58, the Black Bay 58 14K, and the Black Bay classic. Like the company, the athlete continues reinventing himself as a model, actor, and style icon. Tudor also appreciates Beckham’s philanthropic efforts, driving change for the better in Britain and worldwide.
Omega SA is a luxury watch brand founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt, based in Biel, Switzerland. The watch’s rugged build was ideal for Britain’s Flying Corps combat unit. Its Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch was the first watch worn on the moon. Omega is also the official timekeeper of the Olympics.
Nicole Kidman has been an Omega brand ambassador since 2005. Her involvement with the brand became particularly significant with the ‘celebration of women’ event. In addition to their empowering outlook, she also appreciates the integrity of the watches.
Kidman’s classic grace makes her the ideal spokesperson for Omega. However, as an Australian, she also has a sporty side that celebrates the watches’ rugged functionality. Her favorite model is the De Ville Ladymatic.
George Clooney’s ‘old Hollywood’ charm, celebrated acting career, and a deep sense of humanitarianism make him an ideal match for the Omega watch brand. However, as a little-known fact, the actor also has a passion for space exploration, which made him fall in love with the Speedmaster Moonwatch. He has been devoted to the brand ever since.
Clooney has attended numerous Omega events and even took a celebrated tour of the Omega factory in Switzerland. His favorite models include the Speedmaster 57, the Seamaster Aqua Terra, and the De Ville Tresor.
The Hamilton Watch Company was founded in Switzerland in 1892 after the Keystone Standard Watch Company was purchased from bankruptcy. Their first line included pocket watches that served the railroad industry with exceptional time-telling accuracy. The watches were later distributed to the military, standing out for their marine chronometers, which were helpful in the U.S. Navy.
Hamilton Watch’s dedication to precision makes the brand an ideal match for ambassador, French pilot, and flying instructor Nicholas Ivanoff. Ivanoff stands out for his contrasting character traits, coming across as relaxed and laid back in social settings but commanding deep focus on the air. The luxury watch brand relates to this duality, combining Swiss precision and the American spirit.
Ivanoff is more than a spokesperson for Hamilton. He closely collaborated with the brand in producing the Khaki Aviation X-Wind Auto Chrono and the Khaki Aviation X-Wind Day Date. Both models integrate the reliability and readability necessary for world-class pilots.
Founded in 1994, Bell & Ross is a new luxury watch company in Paris, manufacturing in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Their first watch was the BR-01, a square model made to resemble instruments found in aircraft cockpits. They also provide watches that suit marine and vintage sensibilities.
As a development driver for Renault Sport, Carmen Jorda is a natural choice for Bell & Ross brand ambassador. Though passionate about driving and motor racing, she also has an eye for style, bringing femininity to a watch brand typically considered ‘masculine.’
Jorda could be associated with any Bell & Ross watch, but designers have matched her with their most feminine release, the BR S Diamond Eagle. The watch’s deep blue face and shining clusters of stars are reminiscent of sea voyages. Though ultimately stylish, the watch also features water resistance up to 100 meters and Swiss-made quartz movements matching Jorda’s combined stylish aesthetics and passion for precision.
