SpotlightIWC And Jaeger-LeCoultre Watches Reign Supreme On The 2019 Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet

The first major awards of the year, the Golden Globes—held usually at the beginning of January—are often a good indicator of which films and TV series will go on to win big at the other awards over the next few months. The Globes also kick-start a season of glamour and red carpet appearances by some of the most influential people. Emerging trends and styles are often scrutinised, for women and men alike, and so are the watches. While in recent years, men have moved beyond the traditional black-tie attire, introducing colour and patterns in edgier looks, the watches have also begun to complement these styles. Colour in timepieces have almost become commonplace, but at times, classic dress watches are necessary to balance out the more eccentric outfits, as one noticed at this year’s Golden Globe Awards as well. This was seen among the timepieces from several major watchmakers, but what stood out the most were vintage timepieces and highly elegant watches from IWC and Jaeger-LeCoultre. Here’s a look at the most prominent pieces from these brands that were spotted on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards 2019, on Sunday, January 6.

John Krasinski | IWC Portugieser Chronograph

Krasinski wore a tuxedo in deep blue—the couleur du jour in watches—and complemented the look with the IWC Portugieser Chronograph with a blue dial.
