Ed Westwick wears exquisite Piaget’s Andy Warhol watch at Cannes 2025 Gala

Let’s be clear: this is not your average wristwear. The Piaget Andy Warhol watch is a rare breed - born of glamour, grounded in artistry, and fuelled by mechanical precision. Inspired by the eclectic time capsule of Andy Warhol’s personal Piaget collection, this 41mm automatic watch pairs haute horlogerie with pop art nostalgia in a way only Piaget can.

The 18K rose gold case is nothing short of seductive, polished to perfection and radiating the kind of warmth that only real gold can deliver. But it’s the malachite dial that truly stops time. Rich with natural green striations - each one unique - it doesn’t just catch light, it plays with it. In Warhol fashion, it’s bold without being brash. It's confident. It’s quietly rebellious.

Inside the case beats the Piaget 1200P1 ultra-thin self-winding movement, a technical marvel that's just 2.35mm thick. You read that right: 2.35mm. While most brands are busy bulking up their cases to show off complications, Piaget remains the master of restraint. They’ve managed to pack elegance and complexity into a wafer-thin package - one that delivers a 44-hour power reserve and just enough horological heft to satisfy purists.

Westwick’s styling is the final stroke of genius. Paired with Piaget’s Possession ring in rose gold and diamonds, he channels a kind of modern-day Gatsby - one with edge, one with taste. The whole ensemble tells you he didn’t try too hard… and yet somehow he won the room.

Of course, Piaget is no stranger to cinematic flair. With a legacy steeped in artistry and craftsmanship since 1874, the maison has always danced at the intersection of jewellery and watchmaking. Whether on the wrists of Hollywood icons or high-society royalty, Piaget timepieces whisper luxury with the kind of voice that doesn't need to raise itself to be heard.

So what does it say when Ed Westwick - an actor known for portraying one of television’s most extravagantly layered characters - chooses the Andy Warhol Piaget? It says he's not just chasing elegance. He understands it.

In a world of fleeting trends and desperate flexes, this was a moment of permanence. Of poise. Of panache.

And like the best timepieces, it’s one we’ll be talking about long after the red carpet’s been rolled up.
