"I love a good watch," he said. "I love silver. I'm wearing a lot of gold right now, but I feel like I'm typically more of a silver bangle kind of guy."
Storrie previously rocked a Tiffany & Co. Union Square watch earlier this year at the 2026 Golden Globes, and an IWC Schaffhausen Portofino Automatic during his January appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, according to Esquire.
These are only a few of the highlights from the actor's watch collection, courtesy of his stylist James Yardley.

"I'm excited to hang out with my stylist and my manager, honestly," Storrie said to PEOPLE of his evening with Tiffany's. "We've had a really, really powerful past few months, so it's gonna be good to hang out with them in a different setting."
Yardley has a specific strategy when it comes to outfitting rising star Storrie. “[It's about styling] him not with a costume element, because it's never that, but with a nod to leading men from Hollywood history," Yardley previously told Vanity Fair.
The two connected as Storrie's agent was a longtime friend of Yardley's. "I think there was a very small trailer for Heated Rivalry at that point," the stylist recalled. "It wasn't full length. They showed me the picture of him and I went, 'God, he's gorgeous. He looks like a model.' I was like, 'He'd be great to dress. Let's do it.' "

Storrie has had a whirlwind few months after playing Ilya Rozanov in the buzzy Crave series Heated Rivalry.
Based on Rachel Reid's Game Changers book series, the show follows Ilya and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams), two competitive hockey players who also have a steamy relationship outside of the rink.
Storrie made his Saturday Night Live hosting debut on February 28, and brought Williams, 25, along for a guest appearance.
Since Heated Rivalry's release in November 2025, Storrie has also discussed his evolving red carpet style, including his signature curly hair.
In a December 2025 video with Teen Vogue, the actor joked that he was ready to change up his locks.

"I'm ready to cut this stuff off if y'all want me to be completely honest," Storrie said. "I'm ready to shave my head. I don't know who's out there, but someone hire me and give me a crazy haircut."
He added, "It's called become a star and get a team, a stylist, a groomer, hair, makeup, all the brands. Then you'll perfect just like me."
