Wimbledon 2024 concluded on July 14 with Carlos Alcaraz defeating Novak Djokovic. What also stole the show, were the display of luxury watches, courtside
Wimbledon this year has been a rather nail-biting affair with Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz registering his second win at the prestigious tennis tournament and Czechoslovakia’s Barbora Krejcikova registering her first. Like every edition, courtside fashion, particularly spotted on heavyweights from the world of business, showbiz as well as sports, was as much a topic of discussion as the players battling it out in the string of matches. While the predictable stripes and colour palettes have been amply decoded by the internet, what truly deserves the spotlight are the hefty and luxe wrist accessories sported by keynote personalities. From Tom Cruise to Roger Federer, lets take a look at the exquisite luxury watches on subtle display at Wimbledon this year.
