This year’s best watches don’t just reflect the wide-ranging tastes of watch enthusiasts, but a growing maturity as well.

While not every sport permits jewellery to be worn on-field, chains and rings and bracelets are becoming a key part of an athlete’s wardrobe. If they can’t wear them while in uniform, you can almost certainly catch them dripped out for a tunnel walk or a pre-game (or race) conference. There’s something undeniably appealing about an athlete in jewellery. Maybe it’s the juxtaposition of the masculine and perceived feminine, the idea of wearing something beautiful while taking part in something so pointedly aggressive.

For years, global audiences have known him as the seismic force behind Pablo Escobar in “Narcos”, giving a Golden Globe-nominated performance so volcanic it scorched the landscape of prestige television. Wagner Moura is not just the man beneath the Medellín drug lord, but an actor and director whose cinematic choices are guided by a much more conscious reflection of the path he’s walking on as a person and actor. Now, with his compelling internalized performance in the Brazilian entry “The Secret Agent”, Moura is shedding the intensity of his past to reveal a new, perhaps more mature artistry.
