I rather avoid celebrity endorsement - seems ingenuine unless it's clearly spontaneous and unpaid. Don't really like the things I'm interested in to have a popularity contest associated with them (whether true or not) - like what you like for your own reasons. CLearly, raising profile of things can help people learn and develop interests, but I suppose I'm biased against celebrity endorsement.

also - is there a thread that deals with identifying the watches used in movies/ media? Regardless of my thoughts on endorsement, I still like to be able to know what is what when I see it.

 

You can check on some movies here:

Cool resource.
love the newer Hamilton Ventura watches (one an auto the other quartz) worn in the recent "Men In Black 4" movie. Nice to see those classic lines out there. Apparently Will Smith wore one in the original MIB but I never noticed it.
It will always remind me of the King.

 

I don’t even know what the hec floyd has here but it’s always fun to see him brag. One of the greatest defensive boxers in history but a bit of an idiot

 

Wow he’s my idol! And that is a cool watch

 

I didn’t know that someone already posted this kind of thread that is why just a moment ago i posted a similar thread.

Here is my story and contribution:

I thought there was a thread for Omega's in movies but I couldn't find it.
Just watched the trailer for "The Art of Racing In the Rain" and spotted a Speedy...



Trailer for movie:

 

Nice catch !

 

It was lent to him by the omega museum in 2005 for the movie.

Also the seven years in Tibet movie has a nice Omega chronograph although I cant remember if Brad Pitt actually wears it.

 

He does seem to have a few, although that’s a Memovox he’s wearing in the pic.

 

Just noticed that Adam Savage wears a Speedmaster now

 

I noticed Antoni Porowski of "Queer Eye" on Netflix wearing a Speedmaster DSOTM. I googled it and in an interview he said:

"I’m obsessed with Omega Constellation watches from 1950 and the Omega Speedmaster from 1955. I finally got to head to the Omega store on Fifth Avenue, and now I’m the proud owner of a Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon black sports watch."

Well, he may not know the Speedmaster was introduced in 1957

Tried to do the same with my girl, but it didn’t work

 

I noticed that this guy wears a Speedmaster.

Great catch!
