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.
