Mark Zuckerberg and musician Saint Jhn showcased their refined tastes in luxury timepieces this week, both opting for impressive designs from Ulysse Nardin. Zuckerberg appeared on the a16z podcast wearing the striking Royal Sapphire Ruby, a six-figure watch that boasts a transparent sapphire case and a vibrant ruby skeletonized tourbillon. This limited edition timepiece is one of only eight, originally retailing for $328,300. Meanwhile, Saint Jhn made waves at the inaugural Miami Watch Summit with the recently released Ulysse Nardin Diver Air, acclaimed as the lightest mechanical dive watch in the world, weighing just 52 grams. Priced at $38,000, it combines titanium and carbon fiber in its construction.
Across the Atlantic, at the Wicked: For Good premiere in London, actors Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey also made strong style statements with their watch choices. Goldblum donned a luxurious Cartier Santos-Dumont sporting an extra-large 46.6 mm gold case, coupled with lavish Cartier jewelry, while Bailey showcased the Omega Seamaster Milano Cortina 2026, an Olympic-themed watch recognized for its precision and robust power reserve. The Omega retails for $21,700 and features the brand’s renowned Co-Axial movement.
Additional star sightings included Lucas Bravo with a Chopard L.U.C XP Urushi celebrating the Year of the Monkey, Miles Teller flaunting a solid-gold TAG Heuer x Porsche Carrera, and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes making a statement with the Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary Red Magic. Mahomes’ piece, a limited edition marked by its vivid colors and engravings, retails for $38,400. This variety of exceptional watches highlights not only the personal styles of these celebrities, but also the craftsmanship and innovation that characterize the world of luxury horology.
This week’s high-profile watch displays serve as a reminder that, while the individuals behind these timepieces may come from diverse backgrounds, their selections reflect a common appreciation for artistry, engineering, and elegance. As the luxury watch industry continues to evolve, it’s inspiring to see such notable figures celebrate these exquisite creations that tell a story of craftsmanship and heritage.
