Horological Meandering

Modems seem to represent the time when Pierce Brosnan was at the peak of his career. I must be watching too many Brosnan movies. I got to admit, this Irishman is my favourite Bond, for unknown reasons. I should be liking Daniel Craig or Sean Connery more,...  

I always had a hunch this actor is a watch afficionado. He has another piece given to him by his late-ex-wife whom he tragically lost to cancer. I read it somewhere, but I cannot seem to find the page today. GP Vintage 45 is lovely, especially the curvatu... 

Not my favorite Bond but a fun actor to watch non the less. Not sure if he's a Speake-Marin spokesperson any more but he did apparently hit it off with Pete, partly due to the movie. Now that Peter is gone from the company, not sure. Thanks for the post.

Known to be in his personal collection. I found the interview when he said his late-ex-wife gave him a Cartier, and his wife gave him a Blancpain. I like PSM and read his website very regularly. Now without him, PSM is in a very strange position, much lik... 

I wish Peter would start up again and design some new watches. Fun Fact...I used to get massages from Pierce's sister in law Aubrey Duerr, who is/was a massage therapist. Keely's sister.

Very small world indeed. I just watched his new movie called the Misfits on Netflix. U might like the movie. It is quite funny, with countless references to watches in the movie.

...he has fantastic hair : )

Wish I can keep the crown when I reach his age. Wonder what his secret is? He should be ambassador to Revlon, or some shampoo company too.

It looks like another pic of him wearing the GP 1945.

...  

I like the unique hands, curves of the case, lugs, and the dial too. And the strap too.

I fully agree. It doesn’t match up. It looks more like the GP1945 in that pic.

Arguably one of the better movies Brosnan has starred a major role in.

Showing the duality of his secret fetish with stealing art, versus his businessman id. I think i watched that movie twice. Wonderful movie. Which is your favourite Brosnan movie, Patrick?

I rewatched it recently, and I liked it. I've seen the movie multiple times.

Called the Misfits, on Netflix It is a watch afficionados dream movie i think. Countless references to pieces on it. He was wearing his gold Piccadilly on the movie.

I saw the movie on the plane and I found it to be an abominable movie. Terrible screenplay. Terrible direction. And what an odd cast of characters. Just an awful movie. I don't recall if I noticed the watch. But those airplane screens in 3rd Class are pre... 

I’m due to travel only in a couple of months. It’s been a very long time since I’ve been away. Yes it is a little cheesy for a movie. There are some moments of comedy in it too. One watch moment was when he was surveying the “Kuwaiti prince” at the bar. H... 

I will say, people are extremely badly behaved on planes. On one flight by Virgin Atlantic to London Heathrow, someone was smoking marijuana on the flight. They never caught the guy/gal. On another flight to Istanbul on Turkish, someone was smoking in the... 

Everytime i fly, I see customs officers confiscating biosecurity-risk items and sometimes contraband ciggies too. It’s a whole new wild frontier out there.

I think that was your country. Apparently, even cooked foods (that are super highly processed) can be a risk in certain environments.

The Thomas Crown Affair ranks right up there as one of my favorites. I like them all but this one I always watch when it is on. He also my favorite Bond.

that wasn't good.

Yes indeed. A McGonigle will stand out so well.

Pierce Brosnan Watch Collection - Cartier is my favorite one
