What could have been quite embarrassing with a suit only speaks for its popularity with watches: two stars wore the same model at the 2022 Oscars. We are talking about actor Rami Malek - known, among other things, for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in the box office hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" - and actor and producer Jake Gyllenhaal, who was nominated for an Oscar in 2006 for his supporting role in "Brokeback Mountain". Both men decided to wear their Cartier Tank watches to this year's Oscars, and it is hardly possible to say which star the exquisite model suits better.

Glittering, glitterier, DJ Khaled: If the 2022 Oscars had given an award to the star with the most sparkling watch, DJ Khaled would probably have won by a long way. The American DJ, music producer and actor opted for black simplicity in his suit - in contrast to his watch! The Jacob & Co. Billionaire that the 46-year-old wore is set with numerous high-carat diamonds and is exactly what is meant when one speaks of a real luxury watch. When you browse through the pictures of the ceremony, there is ultimately only one question: who shines more - DJ Khaled or his dream watch?

In keeping with the spring season, many people prefer to wear clothes in cheerful pastel shades. This is probably also the case for actor Kodi Smit-McPhee, at least if you judge by his Oscars outfit. The 25-year-old, who rose to fame as a child and, for example, played alongside Franka Potente in "Under the Australian Sun" in 2007, brought a breath of fresh air to the red carpet in a pale blue suit. The entire look was refreshingly youthful and extremely modern and was rounded off by a luxurious watch from Cartier. The timepiece was made especially for Smit-McPhee and has an extraordinary snow globe effect.

Actress and musical actress Ariana DeBose, who won an Oscar for her supporting role in "West Side Story," attended the event dressed entirely in red.

White's watch is characterized by a classy gold tone that makes the watch "Oscar-worthy."

Oscars 2022: Luxurious spectacle of watches

In summary, the 2022 Oscars can be described as a truly luxurious spectacle of watches. Even though the focus of the event was of course on the performances of the actors and actresses, some watches on the wrists of the stars would have deserved their own spotlight.

During my school days, I worked in the warehouse of an auction house and that was when I first came into contact with exclusive, mechanical watches. The fascination was born from that moment on and has not left me to this day.
