Who can make a sling look sexy? The one and only Benedict Cumberbatch!
Cumberbatch looked dapper in his red carpet appearance at Festival de Cannes 2025. Wearing a Prada black grain de poudre tuxedo with a white poplin shirt and black satin bow tie, he was seen sporting a sling on his left arm. While we are sorry that he has hurt his arm, we are making the most of the opportunity that the sling is giving us to admire his choice of timepiece for the red carpet.
His black sling in silk, which was secured with a custom brooch, held up the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date in all its glory, as Cumberbatch made his way to the premier of ‘The Phoenician Scheme’ at the Cannes festival.
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date is a refined timepiece that exemplifies the brand's commitment to elegance and precision. Housed in a 39mm stainless steel case with a thickness of just 7.8mm, it offers a sleek profile suitable for formal occasions. The sunray-brushed blue-grey dial features elongated trapezoidal hour markers and Dauphine hands, providing excellent legibility. A date aperture is positioned at 6 o'clock, maintaining the dial's symmetry.
At its heart lies the in-house calibre 899 automatic movement, visible through a transparent sapphire case back. This movement boasts a 38-hour power reserve and is adorned with Côtes de Genève, bevelled edges and blued screws, reflecting Jaeger-LeCoultre's meticulous craftsmanship. The watch is paired with a black alligator leather strap, secured by a stainless steel folding buckle, and offers water resistance up to 5 bar.
The Master Ultra Thin Date is not only a testament to Jaeger-LeCoultre's heritage in crafting ultra-thin watches but also a versatile accessory that complements both business attire and evening wear.
Another Jaeger-LeCoultre that made is appearance at the Cannes red carpet is the Reverso One Precious Flowers.
Fashion journalist and TV host, Diala Makki wore the Reverso One Precious Flowers, paired with an elegant black evening gown. The exquisite timepeces is the perfect expression of the Maison's watchmaking and Metiers Rares expertise. As it follows the delicate curve of the wrist, this diamond-embellished enamel watch impresses with its strong visual identity.
The case houses a white mother-of-pearl dial enhanced by 12 Arabic numerals framed by the collection's signature 4 Art Deco angles. On the back, the decoration is created on three levels: The arum flowers are made of Grand Feu Champlevé enamel.
When the cast and team of the Indian movie Homebound made a splash on the red carpet, amidst the starry smiles of Jahnvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar, what stood out the most was the timepiece worn by filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan – the Reverso Tribute Geographic by Jaeger-LeCoultre. It is a luxury dual-face watch that blends sleek design with world time detail. Limited edition of 150 pieces, it is available in steel or pink gold, it runs on the new Calibre 834 and features a big date, rotating 24-hour ring and a laser-engraved world map. Ghaywan chose the steel version to match his black Jodhpuri jacket at the premier of Homebound at Cannes film festival.
