At the 2024 GQ Men of the Year Party, held on November 14 at the iconic Bar Marmont in Los Angeles, Dwayne Johnson, the celebrated American actor, professional wrestler, and businessman, made a bold statement in both style and sophistication. The “People’s Champ” turned entrepreneur was spotted sporting the IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night (Ref. IW545901), a timepiece that effortlessly combines innovation, precision, and luxury.

The IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night is a true marvel of horological craftsmanship. This exquisite model features a 42.4mm case made from IWC’s proprietary 18-carat Armor Gold® — a revolutionary alloy that combines the warmth of gold with the hardness of stainless steel, resulting in a more resilient and scratch-resistant material. This case, with its polished and brushed finish, exudes a refined elegance that’s perfect for a star like Dwayne Johnson, who knows the importance of attention to detail.

The watch’s Obsidian lacquered dial is nothing short of mesmerizing. The rich, dark hue of the dial contrasts beautifully with the gleaming gold of the case, while the intricate design of the dial — including the distinctive Day & Night complication and the stunning flying tourbillon at the 9 o’clock position — highlights IWC’s technical prowess. The watch’s minimalistic aesthetic ensures that the focus remains on its exceptional craftsmanship, making it the ideal companion for a man of Johnson’s stature.

Dwayne Johnson is a man who is known for his larger-than-life persona, yet his taste in style and accessories often speaks to his refined sensibilities. The IWC Portugieser Hand-Wound Tourbillon Day & Night is a perfect reflection of Johnson’s multifaceted career — combining precision, strength, and elegance, much like his journey from the wrestling ring to Hollywood’s A-list and beyond.

At the 2024 GQ Men of the Year Party, Dwayne Johnson’s choice of timepiece was a clear statement of sophistication, further cementing his status as a trendsetter and an icon in both the entertainment and business worlds. The IWC Portugieser not only matches his star power but also complements his impeccable style, proving that true class and precision never go out of fashion.
