Limited to just 100 pieces in its platinum, youâll notice that the Torture has no seconds hand. Thatâs fitting because if you can both afford and get your hands on one, your schedule probably doesn’t have much on it other than Wear a Great Watch to a Gala Screening of The Apprentice.
Tom Bradyâs Patek Philippe Grand Complication Minute Repeater Perpetual Calendar 5104P-001
The insane horological appetites of Tom Brady continue to consume the worldâs best watches. Case in point: This ref. 5104P-001, a Grand Complication with minute repeater and perpetual calendar functions. Produced in the late 2000s in a run of just 100 pieces, itâs the type of wildly complicated watch that Patek has long specialized in. Bradyâs is housed in an oversized 43mm platinum case with a semi-skeletonized dial, an automatic movement, and the following functions: main timekeeping; minute repeater; perpetual calendar with leap year indication, retrograde date, and moon phase indicator. What will this guy possibly wear next week?!

Hailey Bieberâs Piaget Polo
You couldn’t get away from vintage Piaget these days if you wanted toâand, frankly, why would you? The brand made some of the coolest ultra-thin watches in the mid-20th century, often fitting them with semi-precious stone dials or setting them with diamonds. Hailey Bieber was spotted wearing a vintage yellow-gold Piaget Polo recently. The brand reissued a solid-gold version of this watch in January of this year but Bieberâs likely dates back to the 1980s. The Poloâs teensy case measures just 19mm and itâs powered by a quartz movement. But thatâs not really the point. The point is the wildly cool case and dial with horizontal gadroons studded with diamonds. Bonus points are awarded for the incredible integrated gold bracelet, too.
2 Chainzâs Jacob & Co. Brilliant Flying Tourbillon
2 Chainz performed at the BET Awards in a nearly $2M diamond-studded piece from Jacob & Co, The Brilliant Flying Tourbillon, which launched in 2017, is technically part of the brandâs ladiesâ collection, but donât tell that to the fellas. (Indeed, at 47mm, this doesnât look at all out of place on 2 Chainzâs wrist) Made of white gold and studded with hundreds upon hundreds of precious stones, itâs outfitted with a flying tourbillon movement that is itself embedded with 338 brilliant-cut diamonds, which are visible via a sapphire caseback.
Nicholas Houltâs Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon
English actor Nicholas Hoult, a global ambassador for Jaeger-LeCoultre, knows his way around a fine dress watch. This week he attended SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations for his recent film The Order and wore JLCâs Master Ultra Thin Moon. One of the prettiest modern moon phase watches from any luxury brand, this 39mm stainless steel piece features a petroleum-blue dial with applied indices, faceted feuille hands, and a large moon phase/date display above 6 oâclock. Powered by an automatic movement with a gold winding rotor, the entire thing is just 9.3mm thick, meaning there should be plenty of clearance to sneak it under a dress cuff. Although if youâre Hoult, you probably donât want this watch sneaking anywhere.
