The watches featured in the movies are not just beautiful accessories; they relate to the script and add depth to the characters. In the old days, clocks presented in movies often became random icons - the right clock was tied to the right (beautiful) hand. Later, hours in the movies became the placement of well-placed products orchestrated by the studio. But no matter how they got there, some of the luxury watches that have decorated the wrists of Hollywood’s biggest actors have become stars on their own.

The silver screen is the best table in the world. Not only do you have the visual aspect, but you also have time to explain a product, associate it with the desired movie star, and even (in some cases) give it a special character that the audience will forever associate with it. hours. A lot can be said about a character through their choice (or counter-choice) of handicrafts. During the cinema era, many characters have sported watches and models that have experienced unprecedented success or longevity as a result. Wise product placement can make a lot of money but affect our cultural background more emotionally in a realistic and tangible way.

What we especially want about luxury watches on the silver screen is the fear they inspire. Fiery collectors want to go back in time and see these beautiful (now vintage) pieces. Often, these watches even inspired an entire generation to deal with the gathering. So here we have summarized some of the most iconic movie clocks you may have missed.

The Money Monster premise is scary. An unhappy investor rages and skips a game show while being broadcast live on TV. The host of the show? None other than George Clooney. His character, Lee Gates, is taken hostage along with his glamorous ticker. To find out his (and his) fate, you will have to watch the movie.

• Actor: Matthew McConaughey
• Character: Mark Hanna
• Movie Date: 2013
• Watch: Rolex Datejust

Matthew McConaughey plays the troubled Mark Hanna in this 2013 classic. A genius of its kind, its methods and practices are… unusual, to say the least. These people featured in the film were very wolves in many senses of the word. You had to be a little wild to survive in that dog-eating environment.

The Rolex Datejust is an impeccable symbol of power, but can also be doubled as a disguise for the rest of the world for characters like Mark Hanna. A luxury watch and a smart suit can go a long way toward gaining someone’s trust. One of the smartest investments he has ever made…

Lucy In The Sky (2019) — Omega Speedmaster X-33

• Movie: Lucy in the Sky
• Actor: Natalie Portman
• Character: Lucy Cola
• Movie Date: 2019
• Watch: Omega Speedmaster X-33

We are completing this list with a real curve. Few people doubt Natalie Portman’s ability to play any role, but her performance as astronaut Lucy Cola is really something. The Oscar winner shines in the role, as does the unusual-yet authentic Omega Speedmaster X-33 in titanium that he calls home.

The film is a truly compelling exploration of an astronaut's mental state, as he has done and seen far more than many simple mortals can ever comprehend. Perhaps this explains its somewhat bizarre choice, although this unusual analog / digital quartz hybrid watch is the model worn by astronauts due to the high degree of functionality it offers. While it is far less well known than the Speedmaster Moonwatch, the X-33 appearance in the film is very accurate and only leads to the realization of this film to be seen.
