Another edition of Wimbledon is behind us. This weekend saw Markéta Vondroušová and Carlos Alcaraz become champions of the grass court for the first time, each. In the case of Alcaraz, the 20-year-old phenom from Spain became just the fifth distinct winner of the Grand Slam since he was born (joining Andy Murray, Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic, and fellow countryman Rafael Nadal) which is simply wild.
At the conclusion of every final, we make sure to stick it out for the full trophy ceremony because that’s when we get a glimpse of what the newly-crowned champion has on their wrist. This year, Vondrousova went watch-less but we will be sure to monitor that situation in future tournaments. Alcaraz, on the other hand, took to center court with a Rolex Daytona, but not just any Rolex Daytona. His was a yellow-gold variation with a meteorite dial. It was a fitting choice given his meteoric rise to tennis stardom.

But it isn’t just the players who show out with the haute horology. Wimbledon is as much a personal runway for celebrities, and royalty as it is a tennis tournament. This year was no slouch when it came to watch spotting in and around the All England Club in London.
