The Rolex Replica Submariner or Omega Seamaster on James Bond’s wrist are among the most famous watches in films. The Tag Heuer Replica Monaco is closely associated with the racing film Le Mans by Steve McQueen and Jason Bourne from The Bourne Identity wears a Tag Heuer Link Chronograph. If you look closely, you will suddenly find luxury watches everywhere in films. In keeping with Halloween and the start of the dark season, we have searched through the darkest episodes in film history and are presenting you with watches from classic films and series.
1.The Exorcist
The Exorcist was a groundbreaking film in the horror genre in 1973 and has now become a classic. In the
horror film, a 12-year-old girl, played by Linda Blair, is possessed by the devil. Before her desperate
mother turns to the Catholic Church for an exorcism, she has her daughter examined by doctors, including
Dr. Barringer, who wears a TAG Heuer Autavia Ref. 2446 on his wrist:
2.The Silence of the Lambs
The multiple Oscar-winning film from 1991, The Silence of the Lambs, is still one of the most exciting thrillers in film history. It is based on the novel by Thomas Harris and was made into a film with the actors Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. In the years 2013 to 2015, a US crime series took up the story of the psychiatrist and cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecter, played by Mads Mikkelsen.
Always stylishly dressed, in the psychological thriller crime series he wears a Patek Philippe chronograph with moon phase from the Grand Complications collection.
A similarly stylish model is this Chronoswiss chronograph with moon phase:
3.American Psycho
Christian Bale became famous with the film American Psycho: He plays the successful investment banker and serial killer Patrick Bateman — and with style: On his wrist he wears a Rolex Datejust made of gold and stainless steel. The watch only appears in relatively few key scenes, however. The reason: Rolex had decreed before filming that the watch could only be seen if no violent acts were committed.
4.Dark Knight Trilogy
Bruce Wayne is one of the richest people in the world in the DC universe. He also owns an exclusive watch:
In both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy, Wayne, played by Christian Bale, wears a Jaeger-Lecoultre Reverso Grande Taille on his wrist.
Val Kilmer also wore a similar model in Batman Forever. Jaeger-LeCoultre even made special editions
For Batman fans, the much sought-after Rolex GMT-Master II model, also known as the Rolex Batman, should also be mentioned here (Read more: Rolex Batman: An investment that is worth it):
5.Sopranos
A villain of a different kind is serial gangster Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini). As a New York mafia boss, he wears a watch that corresponds to his status, namely a Rolex Day-Date made of solid 18-carat yellow gold. This puts the film villain on a par with US presidents, popes and the Dalai Lama. Tom Cruise also wears a President Day-Date in the 1988 film Rain Man.
Watches don’t just play an important role in films. Actors also like to adorn themselves with exclusive timepieces in their private lives. Leonardo DiCaprio, for example, is a brand ambassador for Tag Heuer and wears the brand’s watches in private as well as on screen. Paul Newman’s wristwatch, a Rolex Daytona Ref. 6239 with a panda dial, was auctioned in 2017 for more than 17 million US dollars as the most expensive watch in the world. This model with a panda dial is slightly cheaper on watch.de:
