Cannes 2025: Ishaan Khatter Makes His Cannes Debut With Three Heavy Hitters
2 min read
Meet Ishaan Khatter – the young Bollywood heartthrob who’s capturing the attention of audiences on OTT platforms and social media alike.
Now, meet the Tank Must Medium — Cartier’s iconic vibe with a modern twist. This one’s got major style energy: shiny steel case, black lacquer dial and silver sword-shaped hands.
Khatter carried this classic timepiece by Cartier with ease for a dinner do at the Festival de Cannes 2025. Wearing a Dior ensemble that exemplifies tailoring perfection and minimalism, Khatter added a Cartier to complete the look. The Tank Must Medium wraps seamlessly around his wrist, echoing the structured fitting of his attire. The crown rocks a cool cabochon spinel. Comes with a sleek black alligator strap and classic buckle. Size? 33.7 x 25.5 mm and just 6.6 mm thick—super slim! Powered by a High Autonomy quartz movement, so it’s low-key low-maintenance. Drip meets timeless class!
For his red carpet debut, Khatter chose the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph. Initially designed for polo players, this timepiece is a total flex for watch lovers. Designed initially for polo players, this throwback beauty brings serious 1930s vibes with its sleek rectangular case (49.4 x 29.9 mm), but with a modern twist. On the flip side? A retro-cool 30-minute chronograph with a unique retrograde counter, inspired by the 1996 OG Reverso Chronograph.
The steel version stuns with a blue-grey sunburst dial made using next-level ALD tech—super thin titanium oxide layers = major glow-up. Inside, it’s powered by the hand-wound Calibre 860, a beast of a movement that’s fully integrated, rocking a column wheel and horizontal clutch for that slim, smooth finish. Bonus: both dials move in sync, thanks to a slick dual-system setup. It’s vintage-meets-modern – an apt choice for Khatter’s couture look at the premiere of his film ‘Homebound’ at the Cannes film festival.
Now, let’s talk about serious watch flex: the Reverso Tribute Duoface Tourbillon – Khatter’s choice for a photocall at Festival de Cannes. During the promotion of his film ‘Homebound’ Khatter opted for this mechanical masterpiece with main-character energy. It’s a flying Tourbillon that’s living its best life with no top bridge in sight — giving you a crystal-clear view of that gorgeous S-shaped balance spring doing its hypnotic dance.
This little legend is made of 62 tiny components, and get this — it weighs less than 0.5 grams. Hand-assembled at the elite Grandes Complications workshop, it’s basically haute couture for your wrist.
Housed in a sleek steel case, this Reverso stunner runs on Jaeger-LeCoultre’s in-house calibre 847, which is a wild 3.9 mm thin. And it comes with that iconic Duoface feature — double the dials, double the drip. The front keeps it classy with a subtle sunray grey dial, but flip it over and bam — the back’s a whole art gallery. Crafted at the Atelier des Métiers Rares™, the reverse side rocks a jaw-dropping Clous de Paris guilloché pattern — done entirely by hand. Fun fact: that guilloché bridge alone took 232 engraved lines and 1,392 precise movements to finish.
With that Khatter continues to slay his Cannes appearances and to make waves on social media.
