Congratulations to Academy Award Winner GARY OLDMAN Best Actor in a Leading Role


 

BREGUET RECREATES POCKET WATCH N0. 765 FOR THE FILM ‘DARKEST HOUR’

 

Sir Winston Churchill may not have been the obvious choice for British Prime Minister, but Breguet certainly was his. Taking office during the Second World War, Churchill was just one of many high profile figures to select Breguet as his preferred watchmaker. A lifelong patron of the brand, Sir Winston Churchill wore his beloved Breguet No. 765, affectionately known as “The Turnip”, all his life. A replica of this exceptional rattrapante chronograph was made specifically for the film ‘DARKEST HOUR’ by the House of Breguet, and worn by Gary Oldman as the Prime Minister. 


 

Mr. Oldman took home his first Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role, at the 90th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 4, 2018 in Los Angeles.




The original Breguet No. 765, sits proudly on view at the Churchill War Rooms in London, as part of the Imperial War Museum, still in perfect working order.

The replica created for the film toured the U.S. during the pre-Oscars seasons, and will be exhibited at the Breguet booth at the BASELWORLD Watch & Jewellery Show in Switzerland from March 22-27, 2018.

The thing is, to me, that his opportunities came at the right time but he just took bad decisions. And he played some roles in bad movies.

His performance,

I think Romeo’s Bliding is one of the best and many more but Dracula is also an awesome performance.

I had found this un-sharp photo of Churchill's watch on the internet a while ago. Interesting to compare. Best Clive ...
