Did You Spot The Luxury Watches In Your Favourite Movie? 

Even though they are essential for keeping time in sports, clocks and other timepieces are noticeable everywhere. The development of movies and television has provided the field of horology with a significant channel for growing its impact.

Timepieces are thus the headliners of the shows, hitting the screens of many of the greatest blockbusters in the cinema. Some have even achieved a legendary reputation for their performances.

Overall, here are just a few of the remarkable timepieces you are certain to spot in films:

• The TAG Heuer 1000: The Wolf of Wall Street

What company comes to mind whenever you hear the phrase “luxury watch”? There’s a good reason why so many well-known wealthy people wear Rolex. Swiss watches are a symbol of achievement and prosperity. Many investors in the film The Wolf of Wall Street wore Rolex watches, as could be anticipated, although not all of them. Leonardo DiCaprio’s portrayal of Jordan Belfort, the film’s dominant character, features a watch made by TAG Heuer, another upscale Swiss watchmaker.

Since Leo was a TAG Heuer brand ambassador this may not come as a big surprise.

In the 2013 movie “Wolf Of Wall Street” Jordan Belfort played by Oscars winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio, is wearing a 36 mm TAG Heuer 1000 Series quartz date in 18k. Belfort was an American stockbroker who operated on Wall Street during the 90s and with fraud sales over the telephone manipulated the stock-market. In 1999, he pleaded guilty to stock-market crimes and spent 22 months in prison.

• Porsche Design Chronograph 1: Top Gun- Maverick

After a protracted absence, Tom Cruise’s Peter “Maverick” Mitchell made a triumphant reappearance in Top Gun: Maverick, and absolutely nothing has changed. Porsche’s first wristwatch, the black-coated Porsche Design Chronograph 1, was worn by Maverick in 1986. He continued to wear the same watch in the film in 2022, more than 30 years following the first movie.

Maverick was a genuine classic who still rode a similar motorcycle as in the previous movie.

• Jason Bourne

Matt Damon donned a distinct TAG Heuer than the one he had worn in the past Jason Bourne movies, which had been a TAG Heuer link chrono. The CIA agent’s blacked-out Formula One Chronograph received a long-needed overhaul in the 2016 film Jason Bourne.

Although both timepieces have already been discontinued, you may still be able to find them on the resale market if you look hard enough.

• TAG Heuer Carrera 3 Hands: The Gray Man

The Gray Man, which had a $200 million production cost, is one of Netflix’s most pricey movies. The TAG Heuer Carrera 3 Hands, the newest super-spy timepiece to hit the market, is sported by the company’s brand ambassador, Ryan Gosling, who plays Sierra Six, a CIA black ops assassin.

• Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual: Doctor Strange

Even if he has the time stone, he still needs a watch. Among the most adored Marvel superheroes, Dr. Stephen Strange (portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch) sports the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual. It’s a watch that is appropriate for a hero whose superpower is the management of time.

This watch tops the list of timepieces in films. And being a brand ambassador for the watch company and wearing the watch onscreen speaks volumes about Cumberbatch’s admiration and appreciation for Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar hits the big screen in the highly anticipated supernatural adventure Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
