Timothée Chalamet Lastly Provides a Watch to His Pink Carpet Arsenal

Welcome to Watches of the Week, the place we’ll observe the rarest, wildest, and most covetable watches noticed on celebrities.

Final weekend, Timothée Chalamet wore one thing extraordinarily notable on a purple carpet. Like a lot of Timmy’s red-carpet outfits, it turned the One Large Factor everybody talked about on the web. It was massive, it was flashy, it was thrilling—it was a watch! Oh, I’m listening to now he additionally wore a shimmery purple quantity from designer-pal Haider Ackermann that was completely backless? Guess I missed that one…

As a result of Chalamet in a watch is a large deal. Whereas the younger actor is a fan of rings, hair ties, and bracelets—each of the Cartier and summer-camp-souvenir selection—he’s hardly ever if ever worn a watch to an enormous occasion. He wore a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso some time again, and as soon as tweeted, “ROSE GOLD PRESIDENTIAL ON MY BONEY WRIST,” referencing a Rolex Day-Date, however he by no means made good on this promise. He signed on to be a Cartier ambassador (or a “buddy of the home,” because the model calls it) all the way in which again in September of final yr, and whereas I figured that partnership would carry us one step nearer to a extra watch-friendly Chalamet, he made us wait 12 lengthy months for this second.

For a person with self-described bony wrists, he couldn’t have chosen a greater home to “befriend.” Skinny, small, and chic Cartiers are virtually tailored for these skipping wrist day on the fitness center. And whereas that is Chalamet’s first time carrying a Cartier in public, he skipped previous the model’s most ceaselessly noticed items, the Santos and customary no-frills Tank. As a substitute, he hopped into the model’s archives and surfaced with fairly the treasure: a double-time-zone Tank in white gold from 2002. Much like a GMT/travel-time watch, this Tank is designed to inform the wearer what time it’s in two totally different locations. Not like many different GMTs, which merely add one other hour hand, this one cleverly makes use of two wholly totally different hour-and-minute setups to realize its dual-time standing. The watch really homes two separate actions to do that.

Thanks primarily to Chalamet’s friends at a wave of movie festivals, we’ve a super-sized model of Watches of the Week.
