It’s been a very big year for watches. That’s good news—but it also might mean you’ve missed a major release or an under-the-radar hit that has collectors going nuts. To help you keep tabs on the timepieces worth knowing, we’ve pulled together a list of the seven hottest watches in the world right now. —Jonathan Evans, style director

From the Seiko Panda to the Rolex Perpetual Padellone, these are the timepieces that people are really talking about.

Despite all the noise of 2026, the watches have been undeniable. Take for example Gérald Genta's masterpiece. The Patek Philippe Nautilus marked its 50th anniversary with a trio of ultra-thin editions powered by the 240 movement, which is normally found in the dressier Calatrava. Aesthetically, the anniversary models tack close to Genta's design—any tweaks to the porthole case or integrated bracelet would be sacrilege, mind—but there are some material differences. As in, the materials are different. Where the original ushered in the age of luxury stainless steel watches, here we get the sports style but precious substance; your pick between white gold or platinum. Well, we say take your pick. Good luck finding even one, let alone a choice.

“It's been a crazy couple of weeks,” Anthony Ippolito tells me. The star of the upcoming Sylvester Stallone biopic, I Play Rocky, is at the airport traveling from Saturday night’s Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles to Monday’s night debut of I Play Rocky in Rome. Over our phone call, you can hear travelers wrangling their kids and flight attendants calling for Zone 3 passengers to head to their gate. But the hectic airport experience is exciting for Ippolito. “I've never been to Italy,” the son of two Italian parents from Long Island says. “It's crazy that it's taken this long, but at least it's happening.”
Something very similar could be said about Ippolito’s journey from a child actor in commercials to his role as the Italian Stallion in I Play Rocky—out in theaters on November 6. After appearing in the Netflix teen drama Grand Army with Odessa A'zion (Marty Supreme), the actor moved on from roles like “Blowdried Jock” and “Boy on Subway” to land a part in Paramount+’s The Offer, which followed the making of The Godfather (Ippolito played Al Pacino in the biographical miniseries). But now the actor’s taking on Stallone, making appearances alongside today’s biggest actors at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures events—and doing it in style.

He wears his blue New Balance sneakers and the black socks with the Nike Swoosh on them, camouflage shorts, and a T-shirt. And his G-Shock watch. Always his G-Shock watch, the kind that’s chunked up with cool functions and you can really beat it up. That is one of Gabe’s hobbies: G-Shock watches.
With his hands in his pockets, he walks along a curve in the road on his way to the farm shop a mile away. They sell coffee and sandwiches and stuff there. Gabe doesn’t drink coffee, and he is not especially hungry just now, but he walks there anyway, like he does most days. Not every day. But most days. It’s private, just him, the way other people do. And it helps make the days go by until the next day, which might be better than this day.
