As the oldest film festival in the world, stars make an extra special effort when dressing up for the Venice Film Festival. And at this year’s 76th annual event, we noticed multi-dial watches were a big trend on the red carpet.

Nicholas Hoult, who rarely goes wrong with his outfit or accessories, was one of the best dressed men at the festival. In a sharp black and white combo, he paired the look with a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Classic Large Small Second featuring double dials.

Chinese celebrity Ni Ni also wore an enchanting Jaeger-LeCoultre wristwatch, choosing the Rendez-Vous Moon Serenity timepiece, which evokes visions of the night sky through the juxtaposition of an inner dial on a satin-brushed blue face.

Here, we round up five more luxury watch manufacturers offering multiple dial models that add a touch of sophistication.

A. Lange & Söhne

Lange 1 Daymatic

A special version of the classic Lange 1, the Lange 1 Daymatic is remodelled with a mirror image of the original design. Featuring a retrograde day-of-the-week display, this white gold model with a blue strap is limited to 25 pieces, and costs HK$384,600.
