The male celebrities wearing women's watches: Lionel Messi and Bad

Lionel Messi, Bad Bunny, Timothée Chalamet and The Weeknd are among the new generation of stars choosing the smaller dials and greater ornamentation of ‘women’s’ timepieces

When choosing a watch, women have long sported designs made for men. Hollywood royal Salma Hayek, for example, regularly favours a 44mm PAM 104 from Florentine watchmaker Panerai, a heritage brand known for its chunky, bold, purpose-built designs. Meanwhile, global style icon Victoria Beckham has been photographed on many occasions wearing traditionally masculine timepieces, like an all-gold Patek Philippe Nautilus or Rolex Presidential geared with a champagne dial.
