The 1962 short novel by J.G. Ballard inspired this year’s annual Met Gala theme, “The Garden of Time.” The story revolves around an esteemed couple whose residence is under attack. Until the enchantment runs out, they utilise their magical garden every night to postpone their doom.
Let’s see how the theme of the gala is reflected in the attire and wrists of the attendees of Met Gala 2024.
Chris Hemsworth in a Chopard Alpine Eagle
Hemsworth completed his monochrome attire with a rose gold-toned Chopard Alpine Eagle watch with a diamond bezel. His selection of a more sophisticated and graceful model for the Met Gala seems appropriate given the subject of time and nature.
Dwyane Wade in a Cartier Santos de Cartier
Since retiring from the court, the former Miami Heat point guard always brings the heat when it comes to style. He chose Santos de Cartier for the Met Gala, which has a rose gold build and black leather strap with bling on the bezel.
Serena Wiliams in an Audemars Piguet Sand Gold Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked
The relationship between AP and tennis legend Serena Williams is iconic. Williams has a history of wearing timepieces from the Swiss brand both on and off the court. For the Met Gala 2024, she wore one of the hottest new models from Audemars Piguet: the Sand Gold Royal Oak Flying Tourbillon Openworked.
Colman Domingo in an IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44
Colman Domingo never fails to match his outfit and watch with his iconic classic style. To complement that, he’s wearing IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 44 in a rose gold case and matching black dial for this year’s Met Gala.
Brooklyn Beckham in a Piaget Polo 79
When your parents are David and Victoria Beckham, you have major access and a sharp sense of style from birth. Beckham chose to wear Piaget’s Polo 79, one of the hottest watches to release this year, to the Met Gala. It has the same integrated bracelet and all-gold construction that established the Polo as the Maison’s flagship model.
