Michael B. Jordan Wears One of the Thinnest Watches in the World – GQ

Over the past decade, a version of The Biggest Loser has played out in the watch world. And the race to make ever-thinner pieces has involved two main competitors: Piaget and Bulgari. In the middle of the decade, Bulgari landed two haymakers when it developed two record holders: the thinnest watch with a tourbillon and the thinnest with a minute repeater. But Piaget, a brand that's prided itself on making tiny timepieces since the 1950s, and has put more thin models out into the world than the Hadid family, wasnt going to take this lying down. In 2017, the brand unveiled the Altiplano Ultimate and retook the worlds-thinnest belt, which is presumably laced with those holes you have to make yourself to accommodate weight loss. While promoting his new movie Just Mercy, Michael B. Jordan wore a version of this watchthe Altiplanoand a suit perfect for the occasion of the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. Also this week, we find out which watches a legendary supermodel and Logan Roy wear.

Michael B Jordans Piaget Altiplano

Jordans watch isnt the thinnest in the world, but its pretty damn close. The difference between the Altiplano Ultimo (4.30 millimeters thick) and the Altiplanolets call it Regularo (6.36 mm) is barely more than the thickness of a nickel. In exchange, Jordan gets a bezel set with one carats worth of diamondsnot a bad trade off.

Naomis Campbells Rolex Day Date

In writing this column, Ive learned that no matter what sort of celebrity you arechart-topping musician, first-billing actor, or superstar athleteodds are youre likely to wear a Rolex. That holds true, apparently, even for legendary supermodels. This week, Naomi Campbell wore Rolexs uber-classic Day Date. Campbell is a longtime Rolex wearer and the brands superfans have collected pictures of her wearing Daytonas and other Day Date models over the years. Ever since Lyndon Johnson wore the Day Date during his time in the Oval Office, the watch has been known as The President. The Supermodel might be fitting, too.

Brett Gelmans Montblanc Star Legacy Automatic

Brett Gelman, in the midst of a wondrous-to-behold style renaissance, is also punching the throttle on his watch game. To the Critics Choice Awards Sunday, Gelman wore a watch from Montblanc, which also happens to be Denzel Washingtons timepiece brand of choice. The watch is a red-carpet anomaly: reasonably affordable at under $3,000, with looks that would never betray that fact. The dial features Montblancs star logo rippling across it.

Nicole Kidmans 1953 Omega

Rappers arent the only ones who wear iced-out watches. Nicole Kidman, too, can wear a timepiece thats less watch than fine jewelry. The actress reached all the way back in the time machine to 1953 for what would be known today as a bust-down Omega that is practically all glitz: the white-gold bracelet is linked together with 24 diamonds, the bezel is set with 32 more diamonds, and additional diamonds jut out from the watch in multiple places. Id like to see Drake top this.

John Cenas Rolex Explorer II

First of all, congratulations to John Cena for winning Employee of the Month at a mid-sized paper supply companythis photo is adorable. Second thing: Cena is wearing the very underrated Rolex Explorer II. Rolex developed the original Explorer to endure the harshest of conditions, whether that meant sub-zero temperatures or clangs against a rock wall. The Explorer II was introduced in 1971 as the originals slightly beefier younger bro. The new version inherited its predecessors striking orange arrow-shaped hand, and added an option for the snowy white dial seen here on Cenas model. The design earned the watch the nickname the Polar Explorer, which should be Cenas new wrestling moniker.

Brian Coxs Apple Watch

Brian Cox, who plays Logan Roy on Succession, doesnt need to subject himself to the typical baubles most people decorate themselves with for award shows. Instead, he wore an Apple Watcha practical wristwear option that can be programmed to buzz when the time finally comes to bless one of his horrible children with a kiss from daddy.
