The 11 Best Celebrity Watches at the French Open 2026, Including Russell Crowe's £26k Grail Piece

At Esquire, we spend an inordinate amount of time squishing our eyeballs against computer screens trying to identify the watches that celebrities are wearing. The people demand it. Mercifully for our corneas, that was once confined to awards season red carpets. These days, though, there are plenty of places where you'll find A-listers inconspicuously flashing their luxury timepieces. Like the French Open, for example.

Below, we've listed some of the best timepieces on display at Roland Garros 2026 – including an appearance from Russell Crowe, who runs a secret watch account over on TikTok (yes! Really!), and his ultra-rare Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda PF Micro-Rotor. Beyond that, at the women's final, Brad Pitt pulled on a Vacheron Constantin Overseas Self-Winding Ultra-Thin and House of the Dragon star Fabien Frankel stayed true to his trusty Cartier Tank Solo.
