As well as winning Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Shogun, Sanada also pulled off a heavy watch flex of his own. He broke up a monochromatic suit with this Portugieser Automatic 42, which gives us enough to talk about without taking away from the look itself. Initially designed to mirror the specifications of early IWC pocket watches, the Portugieser is a classic watch built for today. Sanada’s model is a tad chiller than Waititi’s, but we do wonder whether the pair were able to get a watch selfie together.
Taylor Zakhar Perez in Vacheron Constantin
Another monochrome menswear look, and another mega dress watch. Taylor Zakhar Perez may have been on presenting duties at last night’s Emmy Awards, but that didn’t stop him from stealing the limelight—certainly in the watch stakes. Suiting was handled by Gucci, and when it came to his watch, he went for a super sleek Vacheron Constantin Patrimony. The watch is like a ’50s dream, meaning it’s slim and easy to slip elegantly under a cuff. And thanks to its timeless brown leather strap and rose gold case, it’s also blingy enough to make a red carpet statement.
Joshua Jackson in Jaeger-LeCoultre
Joshua Jackson definitely got the streamlined watch memo when he pulled up to the Emmys wearing this Jaeger-LeCoultre Ultra Thin. While we can’t be 100% sure of the release year of his piece, as far as dress watches go, this one requires little to no intro. It brings the streamlined design of vintage pocket watches to this wrist, where a rose gold 39mm case and eggshell dial make for a subtle flex that works great on the Emmys red carpet. And when you’ve been in the game as long as Jackson, a timeless dress watch is a certified awards season secret weapon.
