5 luxury secret watches celebrities love to wear on the red carpet
The secret watch – a hidden gem that blurs the line between jewellery and timepiece – has emerged as a prominent staple for red carpet attendees. We saw examples such as Bulgari’s iconic Serpenti high-jewellery timepiece loved by A-listers and the elegant Jaeger-LeCoultre piece worn by Amanda Seyfried at this year’s Venice International Film Festival. Shrewdly concealed and extravagantly decorated, secret watches are true pieces of art worth collecting.
We hand-picked five stunners red carpet veterans would approve of – just in time for the holiday season.
Chanel
The Calligraphie Florale montre’s dial is surrounded by a gem garden comprising white gold, platinum, rubies, emeralds, orange sapphires, black spinels and diamonds. It is inspired by the patterns inside Gabrielle Chanel’s Paris flat. Price available upon request.
Jaeger-LeCoultre
The tennis bracelet-style watch, embellished with two rows of brilliant-cut diamonds, is a truly elegant wonder. The dial is hidden underneath a leaf-shaped design. Price available upon request.

The Magnitude Soreli by Cartier watch features a 83.34ct cabochon-cut rutilated quartz dome in the centre which swings to reveal the dial. It has an Art Deco-style diamond bracelet. Price available upon request.
