mseanschmidt Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I was watching House last night and it looked like Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) was wearing a Panerai??? Has anyone noticed this and/or figured out what model he was wearing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepshow Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Nope. He's wearing a Hamilton pilot style watch, I think. No CG on that watch.... Unless he's wearing something different than he was last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Definitely a different watch than last year! That is what caught my eye! I went to the online viewing link given to us by TWP: http://video.supernovatube.com/play.php?viewkey=222044544 Then to the Fox site for recaps. Last night was S4E10 (min 8:50). That's the best screengrab I could get. It does look like a PAM...on a Senape strap at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepshow Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'll have to pay extra attention during the Super Bowl episode. Usually I notice these things. Hmph. Being that Hugh is a Brit, and Brits seem to be fans of the marque (right Victoria?), it wouldn't surprise me. Hugh would just join the club of other British actors like Jason Statham, Orlando Bloom, Hugh Grant, etc. who like the watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Hollywood more than Britain is the thread that binds Brits and Panerai. Hugh would just join the club of other British actors like Jason Statham, Orlando Bloom, Hugh Grant, etc. who like the watches. Ewan McGregor too. Laurie surprises me, if he does wear a Panerai. He doesn't seem the pretty or hard boy or fop type. It's not because he's an OE, or anything. He's just very discreet. @Peepshow below: Agreed. He and Hamilton were MADE for each other.

alt.watch.obsessive Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Strahan was working a 44mm during his media day interview yesterday. I was looking for a "blue flash" but not surprisingly it was a gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on me. Agreed, Hollyweird more than the UK, per se. In my own experience, the Brits that I've met have been more in tune with Panerai than the typical stateside WIS. This might not be the norm, however. I agree, if he's wearing a PAM, it will surprise me. The Hamilton didn't surprise me a bit. I thought it rather fitting, actually.

blue_sphere Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Well he DEFINITLY was wearing one last night. I watched it at my dads on his super high rez screen and when House knocked on wilsons door I saw the deployment clasp and "PANERAI" across it. 1920x1080 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it at my dads on his super high rez screen and when House knocked on wilsons door I saw the deployment clasp and "PANERAI" across it. 1920x1080 Not a PAM, there's a very clear shot of the watch face when he tries to grab Taub's coffe cup in his office. It's some sort of Hamilton with a Rolex style crown guard. There's also a good shot when he's eating popcorn outside the patient's room. BTW, the buckle was a tang style.

PeteM Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 So Tx saw a buckle and Bluey saw a deployant clasp.... You guys werent witnesses to the OJ trial were you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w0lf Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I remember watching an episode a few years ago when it looked like he was wearing a pam on coramid, I rewound it a couple times and paused thru it but it ended up being something else, fwiw not sure if we're talking about the same episode, just wishful thinking on my part.

txcollector Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 So Tx saw a buckle and Bluey saw a deployant clasp.... You guys werent witnesses to the OJ trial were you ? Think about it. The guy just got off 1 yr stint in jail. He has filed for bankruptcy. He makes minimal wage at the hospital being a ex-con on parole. He would be wearing a watch worth a couple hundred bucks not several thousands. I have it on DVR and I just reviewed all the watch shots. Definitely not a PAM and not a deployant. The watch looks like a Hamilton Khaki King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Doah! Anyone realize this topic was from 2008? I was all exited to watch the next House episode and see him wearing a PAM, knowing he was always the Hamilton guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was wearing yet another Hamilton last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 I had seen that before ... I think in the GD forum He defo wears the Hamiliton Khaki king and a Zeno before that and I think originally it was a Casio of some kind... but cant remember exactly.. Funny enough i saw an interview with him a Stephen Fry.... Originally he was in a comdey duo called Fry and Laurie and they were doing a catch up show... initially I thought he was wearing a Uboat but not so sure now though... Funny how different House is from all he had done previously..... Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster, Young Ones, A bit of Fry and Laurie etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_sphere Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) small spoiler below! No it def is a Panerai. I was wrong about the deployment it def is tang. Pictures are not too clear but I did the best I could! This is from when House is knocking on wilsons door 5-7min into "The Confession" Season 8 Episode 5. He may have worn a hamilton before... but now hes running with the big boys! I mean after all his character just got a ton of stock options, so maybe he sprung on one of the coolest watches to date! This one shows the reflection as he pounds on the door. You can see the CG here... The defense rests your honor!

Pictures are not too clear but I did the best I could! This is from when House is knocking on wilsons door 5-7min into "The Confession" Season 8 Episode 5. that was I thought initially when I saw that scene in slow motion but after that there are 2 scenes (trying to grap Taub's coffee cup and eating popcorn outside of patient's room) that show full frontal closeup pics of the watch. That's definitely a Hamilton Khaki King. Here's the side view of the watch CG and buckle for comparison. and to seal the deal (and the case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I really couldnt see that buckle as anything like a PAM buckle not just shape but the engraving as well... But thanks to Sherlock T.... the result is clearly elementary my dear Watson Blue... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 But thanks to Sherlock T.... the result is clearly elementary my dear Watson Blue... :) Speaking of Sherlock. Not sure everyone is aware, but HOUSE is modeled around the actual Sherlock Holmes character, but in a medical setting. "Wilson" is "Watson", "Vicodin" his "Opium", "Guitar/Piano" his "Violin"...AND, the actual address of House's House is 221B as seen in earlier episodes. Pretty cool....
