#ABOUT US MOVIE WATCHES DRIVER#

Adam Driverīreitling tapped Adam Driver for their Cinema Squad along with Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, and Daniel Wu in 2018. Downey, Jr., who plays Tony Stark in the Iron Man and Avengers film series, doesn’t seem to be an avid collector, though. Included in his collection? A Jaeger-LeCoultre Amvox 3, a Patek Philippe Nautilus, a Rolex “Hulk” Submariner, a Bamford Watch Department GMT-Master II, as well as a fake Breitling and OMEGA Speedmaster. GQ did a story in 2016 about Robert Downey, Jr.’s watch collection, which was both amusing and insightful (you can view the video here). The diversity of Pitt’s collection also spans into niche brands, like Red Monkey Designs and Terra Cielo Mare.Ī screenshot from GQ’s video interview with RDJ, where he sports his Patek Philippe Aquanaut You might also catch him wearing a Patek Philippe Nautilus. He has a few Rolex models in his collection, including a Cosmograph Daytona, Yacht-Master, and GMT Master II. In addition, Pitt’s collection features a number of vintage and modern offerings from several other brands. His favorite model in the Breitling lineup is the Premiere B01 Chronograph 42 Norton edition. Then, in 2018, he joined the ranks of Breitling’s Cinema Squad. What about modern acting icons?īrad Pitt was originally a TAG Heuer ambassador. In fact, plenty of classic screen icons loved their watches: Steve McQueen, Humphrey Bogart, and Marlon Brando, to name a few. Becuase of this, actor/watch brand partnerships are all too common, and many actors are serious collectors themselves. Off-screen, movie premieres and award shows present plenty of opportunities to get a watch on a celebrity wrist. Plenty of watch brands have made it onto the big screen in movies and television. In the early days of film, before product placement was a lucrative practice, props masters decided on wardrobes. Here are some of the most famous watch/celebrity partnerships.ĪCTORS | ATHLETES | ENTERTAINERS | POLITICIANS At the same time, luxury watch companies also pay big bucks to put their watches in films. When a celebrity is seen wearing a watch, whether to the grocery store, in an advertisement, or in a movie, fans notice. Many of today’s top celebrities–actors, athletes, entertainers–are endorsed by luxury watch brands, putting a watch in front of millions of eyes each time they wear it. As such, they jump at the opportunity to get their watches on the wrists of the rich and famous. On the other side of the celebrity equation, brands (like luxury watch brands) are aware of our cultural infatuation with celebrities. It doesn’t matter if it’s a true endorsement or just personal preference. Such is the life of a celebrity influencer: whatever the item or brand might be, its demand increases significantly anytime that celebrity is seen wearing it (just ask the Kardashians). However, the brands they endorse can often make them more relatable. Scrutinized to a degree unlike any other.

They put in the work, of course, that makes them famous, but they’re set apart from the world at large. The life of a celebrity is an interesting one, to be sure.
