The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix, officially named the Formula 1 TAG Heuer Grand Prix de Monaco 2025, marked a historic moment as TAG Heuer became the first-ever title partner of this iconic race. Held from May 23 to 25 on the legendary Circuit de Monaco, the event saw McLaren’s Lando Norris clinch victory, with Charles Leclerc and Oscar Piastri completing the podium. Celebrities and drivers alike displayed their affinity for luxury timepieces with this fusion of high-speed racing and horological excellence underscoring the Monaco Grand Prix’s reputation as a pinnacle of sport and style. Let's have a look at the best watches spotted around the racetrack!

Lando Norris

Monaco resident, Lando Norris, celebrated his maiden win in the principality wearing a Richard Mille RM 72-01 Automatic Winding Lifestyle Flyback Chronograph White Ceramic.

Charles Leclerc

Local hero, Charles Leclerc, came in second at this year's F1 race in the principality, but represented the colors of his hometown with the Richard Mille RM 72-01 “Charles Leclerc” Automatic Winding Lifestyle Flyback Chronograph Quartz TPT® worn on his wrist. Unveiled quietly at the beginning of May, the watch was actively discussed among collector groups before being officially announced by the brand. Compared to other models of the RM72-01 collection, the obvious design change is the use of a white quartz TPT case with red stripes and caseband that is a nod to the Monegasque flag.

Oscar Piastri

Australian driver Oscar Piastri was seen wearing the elusive Richard Mille RM 67-02 “McLaren” Automatic Winding Extra Flat Carbon TPT® made specifically for McLaren and unavailable to the general public.

Zak Brown

Managing the McLaren team is not an easy job, especially with two top drivers fighting for the same championship, but while CEO Zak Brown might have a few headaches to deal with, we think it's always a smile that appears on his face when looking at his wrist! In Monaco, he was seen wearing the elusive RM 35-03 “Rafael Nadal” Automatic Winding Carbon TPT® & White Quartz TPT. A great choice for a team manager!

Kylian Mbappé

Real Madrid forward, and Hublot ambassador, Kylian Mbappé wore a Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Rainbow around the streets of Monaco.

Bernard Arnault
