Paul Mescal and Timothée Chalamet. They’re both internet boyfriends, they’re both accidental trend setters and they both have a thing for 1:1 best replica Cartier watches, which they’ve been repping hard this year (regardless of whether they’re contractually obliged to or not).

The best part is they’re nowhere near to biting each other’s style, which just makes the fits and UK high quality copy watches flexes even better. For all of Chalamet’s crazy flexes – horologically speaking, he’s been on one recently – under Mescal’s sleeve more often than not there’s an unexpected banger. It’s great cinema in itself and makes both leading contenders for the unofficial (but very important) title of Cartier daddy.

Let’s start with Chalamet. He’s not shy with his style. Whether that’s cosplaying as Bob Dylan (as per his A Complete Unknown promo run), being one of the first guys to wear Haider Ackermann’s Tom Ford or going full Guy Fieri at the Knicks game. And it’s the same on his wrist.

The luxury shop fake Cartier Baignoire and Panthère watches have been repeat offenders in his recent courtside wrist checks, just like his custom Chrome Hearts fits (all in the Knicks’ orange and blue). They’re both unique watches in their own right; for example the Allongée beefs up the rounded Baignoire to bigger, diamond-packed proportions. Usually, this is a watch you’d save for the fancy stuff, but Timmy’s rocking it on the daily. It’s different from the norm, and definitely the behaviour of a final-boss Cartier guy. It’s the same with his stainless steel Panthère, which is traditionally worn by women (his gf Kylie Jenner is down for it, too). But with Timmy wearing it, he’s a card carrying member of the ‘small watches on guys’ club alongside Jacob Elordi, Austin Butler, and Bad Bunny.

He’s a long-standing member of that particular club. The 29-year-old actor wore a Cartier Ballon Bleu with a pink dial on a pink leather strap, matching his full pink fit at the Berlinale. He’s also worn a Baignoire Tutti Frutti to the Oscars, and a Cartier bolo tie clock to the 2025 SAG Awards. His Cartier game is so strong, that he rocked one of Cartier’s newest and buzziest watches, the Tank à Guichets, with a hoodie and cargos (not traditional behaviour for hyper-rare dress watch, but we’re down for it). When it comes to his watches, Chalamet isn’t playing by anyone’s rules (he’s previously worn three AAA wholesale replica Cartier Tank Mini watches at once). It’s a tough run to match unless you’re an actor at the top of your game.

For all of Chalamet’s more ballsy Cartier moves, the way we see it Mescal is flexing for the people. At the Cannes Film Festival this year, the actor wore his personal 1977 cheap super clone Cartier Gondole watches, with a chill navy suit and loafers. The Gondole is a small, shaped, gold dress watch on a leather strap. He substitutes crazy for as classic as they come. It’s very on-brand for one of the tiny watch trend’s founding fathers. But there’s something sick about it being his own watch – it’s quieter and more personal, which is one of the coolest things you can do at Cannes, a celebrity-packed watch-off.

That’s not to say Mescal can’t hit the big red grail button when he needs to. Back when Cartier’s V&A exhibition first opened, he was on official business at a launch dinner. Here he wore a 1996 (Mescal’s birth year) UK high end replica Cartier Tank à Guichets watches in platinum. It’s a watch Cartier has only re-released a handful of times, and in extremely small qualities. So having the coincidence of a holy Cartier grail releasing in your birth year, and getting your hands on it is master-level stuff. Even still, it felt fitting for the occasion. He wasn’t bro-ing down watching the game, he was wearing a proper fancy boy tux, rather than a shorts and a tee, which made things feel a little more traditional.

Mescal and Chalamet fly the Cartier watch flag in different ways. Timmy is a straight up flex god, regularly repping the rarest and weirdest Cartiers around. Mescal is down for low-key grails for the most part, unless the occasion calls for something more out there. And that comes down to their own personal style. Chalamet is a capital ‘F’ fashion guy. He’s getting custom fits made to watch the Knicks. Mescal is at his sexiest in a pair of shorts from the Gaelic Athletic Association – he’s very good at making normal clothes look mega (but he’s got the high-end stuff dialled, too). And while owning buy site fake Cartier watches ain’t easy, Mescal is a posterboy for the chill guy Cartier flex.

If you’re down for the wild and wacky, paypal replica Cartier Timothée Chalamet watches are your guy. But if something more quiet, cold, and low-key is your vibe, Paul Mescal is hands down your Cartier daddy.
