Watches on Film …
Hi All,
We occasionally have posts with watches from films on the different fora. Let’s try and bring a few together in the one place.
What are your favourite watch images from films? Which watches work well with the characters wearing them? Which watches seem incongruous with the characters? Do you think these links are good or bad – or does it depend on the film, character, actor and watch? Do they make you want to wear that watch too? Have you seen any 'wardrobe malfunctions' with a modern watch in a period film? How about some television appearances as well?
Looking forward to your contributions.
Andrew

Jason Statham, The Transporter with Panerai
Rugged, Tough, a gentleman. Jason displays the characteristics of PAM with the transporter character. A picture tells a thousand words. My long search for my 1st PAM was assisted by the film. Tough Gentleman Saving the damsel This message has been edited ...
Ahhh, the Panerai 'piece unique'!...
If memory serves, in the opening scenes of the first Transporter movie Statham wears a Panerai which he consults assiduously until its alarm function sounds, stirring him to action. Which reference is the alarm model? Amanico would love to have one, to se...
Yep that's right. BEEP BEEP or RINGGGGG!
The Fantasy model that never existed. cheers PAt
If my memory serves me correct, only the radiomir Pam 98 and it's other siblings plus
Ferrari cousins are the alarm types available. They were GP based if I'm not wrong. cheers PAt

Simplistic film (of course), but awesome in the special fx and explosions department. I love watching such films when I need a break from movies where you have to actually use your brain to figure out the storyline (and chick flicks, sometimes a bit overl...
My favorite is
AP EOD It was first time current Ms.F (hijacking MTF expression) and I went to cinema together . After the projection I was obsessed with watch on Arnie hand so I started to look after it which also brought me among copious times to Purist page. Result......
Nice selection, Damjan.
I would simply add some Rolex GMTs... Pussy Galore, Robert Redford in " the President's Men ", and Thomas Magnum... Here's the Lucky B in " action ": Best, Nicolas...
I like the reversos
in The Thomas Crown affair (remake), where it fits Pierce Brosnan's character's style well. And the one in Batman Returns, with the bat on the back. Best Andreas
Reverso's have also appeared in ...
I agree that the Reverso suited Brosnan as well as his character in the Thomas Crown remake. Any idea what Steve McQueen wore in the original film? Reverso's also appeared in Bitter Moon (Peter Coyote, Oscar), The Fugitive (Harrison Ford, Richard Kimble) ...
Here's a few ...
Some watches seem to be so closely linked with certain characters, particularly for franchise films like James Bond with Rolex and Omega. Some actors, like Arnold and Sylvester are closely linked with brands (but I do like the Stallone image with AP - is ...
Would love to have seen something more sporty on Mr Bond.
A chrono with marvels from MR Q perhaps? cheers PAt
As you say Andrew some fit and some don't...
some of the watches featured in film (weather they be paid placements or incidental) seam conspicuously out of place. Such as in the first Iron Man movie Robert Downie Jnr wears Bvlgari. It is very conspicuously shot by the director John Favreau. In the s...
