Would Jean Dujardin be a nice watches enthusiast? We’ve seen him posing with a Rolex for WMagazine, receiving his Oscar with a Jaeger-LeCoultre on his wrist, he now appears with a beautiful F.P.Journe on theaters in his latest movie “Mobius”. If he physically improves himself with age, it seems to be the same in a watchmaking point of view!
As we told you earlier, the battle between The Bourne Legacy and the next 007 has begun. We were aware that James Bond was wearing an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean watch in “Skyfall” and we just discovered that the American agent had an IWC on his wrist. Before the official launch of Skyfall, here is an “Omega made” preview of the movie!
Probably because of a lack of action in our lives, we went to see the fourth episode of the Bourne saga this weekend - The Bourne Legacy – with its lead actor: Jeremy Renner. Matt Damon in is no longer part of the show even if he was interpreting the American agent Jason Bourne with great success and now leaves his place to Aaron Cross.
Charles Helleu comes back to us more inspired than ever with a new series of photos worthy of the greatest. And it is not beautiful timepieces that have inspired him this time but a unique combination of High Jewellery and Origami. A good way to start the day in a “Japanese style” beauty.
Unfortunately we didn’t have time to go there but the concept deserves our attention. Located rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, the Luxèse gallery hosts 3 contemporary art artists that have taken up a challenge: to express their art both on canvas and on a watch dial!
In an interview for the French magazine “Figaro Madame“, to the question “The three basics of your dressing?” Martin Solveig replied: “A navy blue sweater, jeans, my Omega Speedmaster chronograph watch”.
Kudos to Mr Dan Tanenbaum that has been found by an avid reader via his Facebook page: Watch parts motorcycles. Dan is a 41 year old Canadian who lives in Toronto and whose hobby is making miniature motorcycles made from watch parts!
Cosmopolis is out since May 25 and knows some success with the professional press. We have not seen it yet but we have not missed the most important information of the film: Robert Pattinson wears a Chanel J12 Chromatic!
We could not miss the information. This year’s Hamilton Ventura watch is THE watch of Agent J and Agent K in Men in Black 3!
Drive movie transports the audience into a story with a classical trajectory (a case of revenge) narrated with an astounding virtuosity. Camera movements, art direction, soundtrack, everything is made to take you into a world that only the director Nicholas Winding Refn could create. A film composed by already cult scenes, which asks an essential question to any watch enthusiast: What kind of watch is Ryan Gosling wearing?
