Every May, movie stars and celebrities from around the world congregate in the beautiful French Riviera for the renowned Cannes Film Festival. Like so many red carpet events, Cannes is a hotbed of incredible fashion and head-turning style. This prestigious event attracts the best of the best, and the watches spotted here in Southern France echo that sentiment.

Catching sight of the luxury watches that these tastemakers chose to highlight at this ritzy celebration. Now, we are sharing our findings with you.

The Met Gala, hosted annually on the first Monday in May by Vogue’s Anna Wintour, has rightfully been dubbed the biggest night in fashion. The exclusive, invite-only event draws in the rich and famous from around the globe. These A-listers descend on New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, where the theme reflects a current exhibit at the museum’s renowned Costume Institute (which the gala is a fundraiser for”). This year’s theme? “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The exhibit drew its inspiration from Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity as well as Zora Neale Hurston’s 1934 essay “Characteristics of Negro Expression” and is organized into twelve sections that represent the twelve characteristics Hurston outlines. This thought-provoking theme for the 77th Met Gala is resonant for numerous reasons, including but not limited to its juxtaposition with the current political state of the U.S. Additionally, it is the

This year, Miami will be hosting Formula 1 and all of its fans for the weekend of May 2 through May 4, 2025. Practice sessions and qualifying races will take place Friday and Saturday, leading up to the main event: the Grand Prix race itself on Sunday, of course!
Throughout the years, Formula 1 has become the pet sport of the uber-wealthy, and Formula 1 fashion and accessories have grown into a major market. Watches are no exception, particularly luxury timepieces from the likes of Richard Mille, a new-age Swiss watchmaker who has partnered with a variety of F1 drivers to create versatile, durable, and comfortable watches that can withstand even speeding around the hairpin
