An Ambassador of Elegance for Longines, Kate Winslet can often be found wearing a Mini DolceVita on her wrist; this black model being her preferred choice. Enhanced with a new leather strap, in an exclusive Longines design, this watch oozes Art Deco flair. The Silver flinqué dial features blued steel hands and painted Roman numerals. As well as this, a small seconds sub-dial features at 6 o’clock for optimal timekeeping. Enhancing the richness of the watch, a rectangular 21.5mm stainless steel case surrounds the dial. Petite but powerful, it makes a pretty statement on the wrist. Furthermore, scratch-resistant and anti-reflective sapphire crystal protects the dial. To ensure this watch is suitable for daily wear, it is equipped with a high-precision L178 quartz movement and is water resistant up to 30 metres. Creating a beautiful illusion on the wrist, the watch is secured with an elegant double tour strap in black Nappa leather.

Zac Efron – ORIS x Cervo Volante Big Crown Pointer Date Automatic (38mm) Grey Dial / Dark Brown Leather Strap 01 754 7779 4063-SET
In his new movie, ‘Ricky Stanicky’, Zac Efron can be seen wearing this Oris x Cervo Volante timepiece. A classic aviation watch, it features a soft grey dial – that draws inspiration from the Swiss Alps – with silver-coloured hands and large white Arabic numerals. For optimal readability, the hands and indices both feature a luminescent coating. Adding a high-class tone to the design, and measuring 38mm in diameter, a stainless steel case frames the dial. Sitting on top of this is a ridged steel bezel. Living within the case, and visible through the exhibition case back, is a Swiss-made automatic movement. With a 38-hour power reserve, as well as an instantaneous date, and a stop-second function, the movement is as practical as it is precise. Concluding the design of this collaboration is a dark brown leather strap. Crafted from Cervo Volante leather, it lends the watch a more chic look.
While on the more expensive side, the use of high-quality and sustainable materials, makes up for it. Promising to look right at home on the wrist, it makes an eye-catching statement; sure to catch the attention of anyone passing by – just like with those who have spotted it on Effron’s wrist.
Tom Hiddleston – Tissot’s Men Coutourier Black Dial Leather Strap Date T0354101605100
Understated and affordable, Tom Hiddleston likes this Tissot so much that he even wore it for a Vanity Fair photoshoot. The bold black dial features faceted hour markers and dauphine hands. In addition to this, a date aperture features at the 3 o’clock position. While the dial may be simple in design, the watch expresses character through its elegant lines and great attention to detail. Measuring 39mm in diameter, a high-quality stainless steel case frames the dial. Furthermore, a domed and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial; so the clarity and durability levels of the watch are both good. To ensure this watch is a suitable choice for day-to-day wear, it is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement. Its 100-metre water resistance rating highlights this further. A black alligator-style leather strap concludes the design of this sleek timepiece; its butterfly clasp with push buttons guarantees both great security and comfort on the wrist.
Showcasing that not all celebrities wear luxury timepieces, Tom Hiddleston’s Tissot is a watch many of us can wear with pride. Affordably stylish, it is the ultimate companion for daily wear!
Ryan Gosling – Casio Vintage Collection Digital Unisex Watch A168WA-1YES
While this was earlier in his career, Ryan Gosling often wore a Casio on his wrist. In particular, this Vintage Retro model. A classic Casio design, the stainless steel case surrounds a black dial, with muti-colour accents, which houses a variety of functions that come in handy during daily life; an LED backlight, daily alarms and a stopwatch to name a few. The watch is also water-resistant, so it can withstand day-to-day wear relatively well. As this model is a digital watch, full of functional features, an accurate and precise movement must power it. For this Casio, that movement is a battery-powered quartz one with great reliability. Matching the case, and further adding to the overall retro feel, a stainless steel bracelet secures the watch to the wrist.
A favourite to both enthusiasts and everyday people, it’s nice to see a person with such status as Ryan Gosling wearing a timepiece that is considered ‘cheap’. Showcasing his inner coolness, this watch reflects his personality perfectly.
