Jon Hamm's cool, classic watch collection: the Mad Men star wore a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso and Omega Seamaster on the show, but his personal collection includes Panerai, Rolex
Case in point: his latest hit, the Apple TV+ series Your Friends and Neighbors. Hamm stars as Andrew 'Coop' Cooper, a hedge fund manager who, after losing his job and torpedoing his career, turns to stealing from his wealthy friends and neighbours to keep up his lavish lifestyle. His loot of choice? High-priced, status symbol items – including some seriously coveted watches, like
a Patek Philippe Nautilus with an ice-blue dial, which boasts a resale value of about US$169,000.

Life imitates art, as they say, and Hamm certainly seems to be mimicking Coop's passion for timepieces. Off-screen, Hamm has been spotted wearing a few steal-worthy timepieces of his own at red carpet events and media appearances. Here's a look at some of the best luxury watches Jon Hamm has been known to wear – presumably all acquired the old-fashioned way, with a receipt and/or full consent.

The actor sparked serious buzz among watch lovers earlier this year when he showed up at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party wearing a yellow-gold Vacheron Constantin 222, which GQ referred to as the 'big, bold bad boy of high-end sports watches'. One of the most sought-after reissues in recent memory, it oozes the vintage charm of the original 222, which was introduced in 1977 to celebrate Vacheron's 222nd anniversary. After it was discontinued in the mid-80s, it became a rare collector's grail.
The modern version, relaunched in 2022 as the Historiques 222, pays faithful tribute to the original, right down to the 37mm case and integrated bracelet – though it now houses a modern in-house movement. With its throwback styling and quietly confident presence, it's no surprise the piece looks right at home on the wrist of the man who played super-slick ad exec Don Draper in Mad Men.

14 of the best body horror films from the last 10 years, from Old to The Substance
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein might be the earliest example of body horror, a subgenre of horror that focuses on mutation, destruction and transformation of the human form. These ideas were explored further in classics like The Wolfman and Phantom of the Opera, or intertwined within science fiction in everything from The Fly to Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. Body horror hit its heyday in the 1980s, where advances in practical effects work helped realise the tactile, sanguineous visions of filmmakers like David Cronenberg (Videodrome), John Carpenter (The Thing), George A Romero (Day of the Dead) and Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator). Recently, body horror has seen a resurgence in popularity. The Covid-19 pandemic reacquainted everyone with the vulnerabilities and limitations of their corporeal forms. Cosmetic surgery is also becoming increasingly prevalent, as are arguments relating to abortion and gender affirmation. Alison Brie (left) and Dave Franco in a still from Together. Photo: Germain McMicking/Neon Couple these themes with a global push to amplify marginalised and under-represented voices, and a growing recognition of horror as a versatile and respected genre, and the result has been a wave of diverse, innovative and even confrontational films. This week sees the release of horror-infused romcom Together in cinemas. In the film, real-life partners Alison Brie and Dave Franco play a couple whose relationship takes a frightening turn after a bizarre supernatural encounter triggers a more visceral, inextricable connection between them.

Just months after releasing an experimental album titled Perverts, Ethel Cain is back with new music. Her cult-favourite debut album, Preacher's Daughter, earned her a dedicated fan base and made several best-of-the-year lists in 2022. This week, she's putting out a prequel to the album, titled Willoughby Tucker, I Will Always Love You. Ethel Cain opening for Mitski on September 12, 2024.

Advertisement Ahead of the release of Willoughby Tucker, the 27-year-old dropped lead single 'Nettles' and wrote on Instagram in June: 'I didn't even realise what story I was writing yet but I think subconsciously, because I knew how Preacher's Daughter was going to end, I wanted to go back in time to a moment of sweetness. I hope you enjoy the greenery; I love this song with all my heart.' Pitchfork has described the singer-songwriter as an 'American gothic Lana Del Rey', and she made the Forbes list of 30 under 30 in music last year. She's also a fashion model and was recently seen on the red carpet at the Dior Summer 2026 show in Paris. Here's what you need to know about the model and musician.

The songwriter first put out music under the alias White Silas before adopting the moniker Ethel Cain around 2019, when she released the EP Golden Age. She told Nylon in 2021 that the story of Cain and Abel was her 'favourite Bible story growing up', and she was drawn to 'Ethel' because she wanted a name that was 'very 50s old lady'. 'I realised my heart was pulled the strongest to my roots, which is the intersection between my experiences in the heavily religious American South and my dreams of the wild and free American West,' she said of her alter ego in a 2020 Underground Underdogs interview. She says it's also influenced her own life in positive ways: 'I see Ethel Cain as a piece of me that I separate from myself and discard, so that I can make good decisions in life,' she told The Guardian recently. There are strong religious themes in her music Ethel Cain was raised Southern Baptist, which influenced her music. Photo: @dauntlesspromo/Instagram Cain grew up in a conservative Southern Baptist community in Florida, where her father was a deacon and her mother sang in the church choir, per Pitchfork. She was home-schooled and began taking piano lessons at the age of eight.

Amazon to cut Wondery podcast staff, reorganise audio business
is breaking up the operations of its Wondery podcast network as part of a broad reorganisation of the business. About 110 people will lose their jobs because of the move, according to a person familiar with the plans. In addition, Wondery Chief Executive Officer Jen Sargent will exit the company, according to a memo to staff viewed by Bloomberg News. Existing Wondery series will either be moved under Amazon's Audible banner or become part of the company's new 'creator services' team, which will become home to personality-driven shows, including Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast. The Wondery brand will still exist on some of these creator services-run shows. The moves are an acknowledgement that Amazon's big push into podcasts has not worked out as planned. Despite signing up some of the biggest names in the business, the online retailer is shifting strategies to compete better with platforms like Spotify Technology and Alphabet's YouTube as podcasts shift to video formats from audio-only. 'The podcast landscape has evolved significantly over the past few years,' Steve Boom, vice-president of audio, Twitch and games, wrote in the memo. 'The rise of video has also blurred the lines on what it means to be a podcast creator.' The Wondery+ team will now report into Audible, the memo states. Wondery's narrative-driven studio, which creates shows including the Dr. Death series, will merge with Audible, and Wondery Chief Content Officer Marshall Lewy will join Audible in a new role.
