What do LeBron James, Rick Ross, and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have in common? They all have impeccable taste in wrist candy, as they proved in the wild this week.
The basketball great, rapper, and actor were recently spotted wearing rarified wristwatches by Rolex, Jacob & Co., and TAG Heuer, respectively. The three gents weren’t the only ones to flaunt flashy timepieces in the past seven days, though. Barry Keoghan, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Taika Waititi, and Lando Norris repped an array of respected watchmakers, from Audemars Piguet to Tudor.
Although each of them is covetable on its own, our top pick of the lot has to be the custom Richard Mille Norris wore at Wynn’s Formula 1 welcome party in Las Vegas, because, well, it was designed to look like a McLaren race car for the wrist. Well played, sir.
Below are the best celeb watch flexes of the week.

Barry Keoghan: TAG Heuer Aquaracer

The Irish actor wore a chic Givenchy outfit and a TAG Heuer Aquaracer to the premiere of his new movie Saltburn in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening. Unveiled earlier this year at Watches & Wonders, this two-tone riff on the Aquaracer features a 40 mm case made of rose gold and steel as well as a striking black dial.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore “Arnold Schwarzenegger”

The limited-edition Royal Oak Offshore in question was designed in partnership with none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. The bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-governor collaborated with AP on quite a few models, but this particular chronograph is distinguished by a 48 mm rose-gold case that is dripping in diamonds. Knockout, indeed.

Taika Waititi: Tudor Pelagos FXD
Image Credit: Getty/Tudor Filmmaker Taiki Waititi has already proven he is capable of rocking refined designerwear—he recently modeled for Hermès, in fact—but he likes to have fun with watches, too. Case in point: He paired a burgundy corduroy suit with a contrasting blue Tudor dive watch for the premiere of Next Goal Wins. Launched in 2021, the timepiece is known as the Pelagos FXD, with the FXD referring to the extra robust FiXeD strap bars of the case. It was designed for divers but clearly is also splashy enough for directors.

Rick Ross: Jacob & Co. Billionaire III

Rapper Rick Ross recently wore the $3 million gem-encrusted timepiece with a monogrammed LV suit to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The 18-carat white gold case is set with 75 emerald-cut white diamonds, the inner ring is set with 76 white diamonds, and the bridges are set with 57 more white baguette-cut diamonds. Is it rude to say it was our favorite part of the performance?

LeBron James: Rolex Daytona “Eye of the Tiger”
Image Credit: Getty/Rolex LeBron James was spotted prowling the courts at a game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday with the Rolex “Eye of the Tiger” Cosmograph Daytona on his wrist. Released in 2019, the zoomorphic take on the Daytona features a gold 40 mm case and a black tiger-print dial set with yellow gold and diamonds. The timepiece is also adorned with diamond hour markers, yellow-gold hands, and a bezel set with 36 trapeze-cut diamonds. This isn’t the first time the Lakers star has worn the wild timepiece, but it’s always worth calling out.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson: TAG Heuer Carrera

The retired wrestler was sporting a striking TAG Heuer Carrera with an 18-karat yellow-gold case and contrasting black dial. The chronograph is the horological equivalent of a powerbomb and can be yours for just $21,500.

Lando Norris: Richard Mille RM 67-02 Extra Flat
Image Credit: Getty/Richard Mille Many gents coordinate watches with outfits, but Lando Norris gets extra points for matching his timepiece to his car, too. The British-Belgian driver, who currently competing in Formula One with McLaren, has a custom Richard Mille RM 67-02 Extra Flat the same color as his F1 race car (the one pictured is as close to his design as we could find). Norris paired his special personalized edition with his matching race uniform for Wynn’s Formula 1 welcome party in Las Vegas on Wednesday night. Take note, fellas.
