There’s no denying the red carpet brings out the best—from one-of-a-kind gowns and sharp suits to some of the latest and greatest watches around. When the carpet gets rolled out, there’s always plenty to take in. This year at the 2026 Oscars was no different, as 250+ of the biggest names in the entertainment industry gathered at the Dolby Center in Hollywood, Los Angeles, to celebrate the 98th Academy Awards ceremony in stunning fashion. With 19.7 million viewers tuning in to watch the festivities unfold, luxury watch brands were paying close attention to see who showed up wearing their most coveted pieces on the wrist.
This year brought a pretty diverse lineup of watches, spanning the full spectrum of haute horology—from timeless classics we all know and love to ultra-complex pieces that show off the craftsmanship and technical know-how of the industry’s biggest names. Given the almost impossible task of rating all the impressive watches worn on the red carpet this year, we are excited to showcase some of our favorite celebrity-worn watches we witnessed at The Oscars 2026.
