Tracking the stars: A roundup of the hottest watches for the 2024 Olympics
The Summer Olympics set new world records for watch-showing opportunities as athletes showed off their best performances and knock off watches.
The recently concluded 2024 Paris Olympics were a delight for many reasons. The international competition is known for record-breaking feats—like Katie Ledecky’s absolute dominance in the pool, or Simone Biles’ 13 records broken during her triumphant return to the Olympics—and heart-breaking performances (we’ll always love you, Andy Murray).
This year was also a great year for watch appreciation. Of course, there were plenty of celebrities in the stands, including iconic duo Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart visiting the equestrian events, and Omega ambassador Daniel Craig causing a stir by strategically leaking a never-before-seen black-dial Seamaster watch during the show jumping and skateboarding events.
However, the true spirit of the Olympics is, of course, embodied by the athletes. So while not all of the sports stars mentioned here won medals, they still won gold in our hearts. buying replica watch
