Cool watches in movies and tv!?

[Bobbywaingro]

Lately i´ve found myself watching wrists when watching movies or my favorite tv-shows (sometimes missing the plot altogether)

So as the topic suggests, do you have a favorite celebrity our character in a movie or tv-show who really wears his (or hers) watch well?

James Bond and Steve Mcqueen must be the first moviestars that is so linked to "their" pieces, but are there others that has the power of making such a profound link to a watch in this day, or is productplacement such a heavy influance on the entertainment industry so it just "here today, gone tomorrow"?

What do you think

The only thing that comes to mind for me Is James Bond, Rolex and Omega. Oh yea. I remember one scene where Roger More uses the bezel as a power saw to cut the ropes holding his hands, I think thats the way It went down Pulp Fiction when Christopher Walken keeps that watch up his ass for all those years, so he could give It to that kid. Talk about dysentery Not a pretty picture

If anyone in the US watches NCIS (the original one), they will notice agent Gibbs wearing an Omega PloProf on a orange rubber band (really hard to miss in certain shots).

Joel from "The Soup" on E! network wears a Fiddy. The main character in "The Transporter" movie series is always wearing Panerai.

NCIS is a good one for watches... DiNozzo has worn a Rolex Sub, a Pumpkin Planet Ocean, and some kind of Yacht-Master-esque watch. Gibbs has also worn the Pumpkin PO, and I'm sure that following his book sales, McGee wore a TT Daytona

Alton Brown on the Food Network is always sporting something great on his wrist.

I saw an episode of NCIS last week (re-run on USA network) and Gibbs was wearing an Orange bezeled PO - I think. Later on in the episode the watch was on Agent Denozo's wrist.

Here's a classic

Leonardo Dicaprio's character in Blood Diamond wears a Breitling Chrono Avenger Ti on a walnut strap. Been trying to source one but seems they are too old now.

This is my favorite watch.

I have searching for the strap off and on for a while.

[lhooq]

As far as specific watches being associated with individuals, I'd wager that a good chunk of Chase-Durers were sold because of Michael Westen!

The soon-to-be-put-out-of-its-misery '24' has been Doxa central for several seasons, but I don't think the brand has really made the most of its ties to Jack Bauer.

Agreed. I always freeze-frame his wristies to identify his watch.

Nate Archibald on Gossip Girl wears an IWC BP and he pulls it of perfectly. Chuck Bass once had a Piaget, but lately I have not seen anything on his wrist.

I think Gibbs is now sporting an orange Ploprof too.

2012 (2009)

Character: Jackson Curtis

Actor: John Cusack

Watch: IWC Mark XVI

[fakemaster]

Is that a PS? That orange strap looks stuupid.

[vafarmer70]

Agreed. I always freeze-frame his wristies to identify his watch.

Hahaha, my wife thinks I am nuts to do that. I am so very happy to hear I am not alone in this.

[metaljesus]

Ari Gold in Entourge wears a Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore.

Entourage is a hell fun show for watch spotting. Extremely distracting

[southcoast68]

FYI-

Just this morning, Michael Weatherly was on the CBS morning news (plays DiZozo on NCIS), and he was in fact wearing a pumpkin Planet Ocean. So I figure what we see, at least on that show, are the actors' personal watches and are probably all gen and not just props.

Cheers

Bobby Flay on food network always has on a nice watch (rolex,IWC, or panerai)

And Glen Beck wore a pam all last week

[vafarmer70]

Bobby Flay does have some nice watches as well.

The good thing about the food network, is you generally get to see them cooking with their hands, so you really get lots of watches up close and personal.
