7 most impressive luxury watches spotted at Wimbledon this year

Wimbledon is famous for its strict all-white player dress code, but up in the celebrity stands, the wrist-candy game is a vivid explosion of high-end luxury. The courts of SW19 serve as an unofficial runway for the world's most elite watchmakers.

Here is a roundup of the most stunning timepieces spotted on the wrists of A-listers at Wimbledon:

Ncuti Gatwa – TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 100 Solargraph

The Doctor Who and Sex Education star proved that big style can come in small packages. Keeping it completely minimal, Gatwa opted for a TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 100 Solargraph featuring a tiny 28mm case. The watch stands out with a striking blue sunray dial adorned with 12 diamond hour markers, combining sporty DNA with elegant sparkle. Driven by a solar-powered movement, it's low-maintenance but exceptionally high-fashion.

Andrew Garfield – IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35 “Pool”

Andrew Garfield served pure summer energy by matching an aqua-blue suit with IWC’s brand-new IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35 in the “Pool” colourway. Replicating Gérald Genta's classic 1976 cushion-shaped design, the watch is just 9.4mm thick and pairs perfectly integrated links with a beautiful grid-patterned aqua dial.

David Beckham – Tudor Black Bay 58

While his son Romeo flaunted a rose gold Patek Philippe Nautilus, David Beckham kept things effortlessly timeless. He opted for a classic and accessible Tudor Black Bay 58 resting on a five-link steel bracelet with a rapid-adjustment system. Its sleek 39mm case, black dial, and clean lines proved that a classic tool watch never goes out of style, even with a sharp tailored suit.

Richard E. Grant – Cartier Santos Dumont & Breitling Navitimer (The Double-Wrist)

Actor Richard E. Grant executed the boldest style play of the entire tournament by double-wristing two deeply sentimental watches. On his right wrist, he wore a vintage two-tone Cartier Santos Dumont in gold and steel. On his left, he sported a two-tone Breitling Navitimer featuring a black leather strap—a treasured heirloom gifted to him by his late father.

Usain Bolt – Hublot Big Bang Reloaded Usain Bolt Ceramic Carbon 44mm

The fastest man in history made a massive statement in the stands by wearing a watch that chronicles his own legacy. Usain Bolt flexed his newly released Hublot Big Bang Reloaded Usain Bolt, a 200-piece limited edition celebrating his 15-year partnership with the brand and the 10th anniversary of his Rio 2016 Olympic triple-gold sweep. The massive 44mm black ceramic-and-carbon case features his golden mantra, “Anything is Possible, Don't Think Limits,” engraved directly on the bezel. To top it off, the caseback features authentic soil sealed inside from the Jamaican track of his childhood.

Alexander Ludwig – Frédérique Constant Classics Carrée Automatic

The Hunger Games star Alexander Ludwig brought vintage class to Centre Court. Sitting alongside musician Niall Horan, Ludwig opted for a discontinued Frédérique Constant Classics Carrée Automatic, an Art Deco masterpiece featuring a polished, rectangular rose-gold-plated case and a classic black leather band. While it once offered an accessible entry point into Swiss luxury, this fiercely coveted timepiece has completely vanished from the market. It is now so thoroughly sold out that it remains virtually impossible to track down.
