"Big Pilot Watch"
"Ref.IW501001"

The IWC Big Pilot's Watch, Ref. IW501001 , was released in 2018 and uses the design codes of traditional pilot's watches .

The Big Pilot's Watch is inspired by the large watches used by the German Air Force during World War II. This striking watch features a large 46.2mm case that boasts high visibility and a large onion-shaped crown that is easy to operate even while wearing pilot gloves. The power reserve display at the 3 o'clock position is made possible by the in-house developed movement "Cal.52110" that boasts a power reserve of 7 days.

Director Tarantino has stated that he will retire from directing after making 10 feature films. At the Academy Awards, his ninth film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, was nominated, so it remains to be seen whether he will really retire after his next film...

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Grand Reverso Ultra Thin Tribute to 1931, Ref. Q2788570, is a revival of the design of the first model.

"Reverso" means "to rotate" in Latin. This is a reissue of the classic Reverso, released to commemorate the 80th anniversary of its birth, with a black dial, bar indexes, and only the word "REVERSO" written on it, which is surprisingly rare for this model, giving it an antique feel.

In fact, this model is a collaboration model with the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" that has a bat hidden on the back cover, and there are only 10 of them in the world. It is likely that the one worn by Director Nolan is one of these 10!

Worn by director Clint Eastwood
[A. Lange & Söhne]
"Lange 1"
"Ref.101.032"

The third person I would like to introduce is ", who is still actively making films at the age of 90. Clint Eastwood , director.

Clint Eastwood began his career as a film actor in 1954, starring in many hit spaghetti westerns (Italian westerns) and joining the ranks of superstars. He then directed highly artistic works such as "Mystic River," "Million Dollar Baby," and "Gran Torino." The models worn by Eastwood are based on the perspective he has developed over his long career.

Lange 1
"Ref.101.032"

The first A. Lange & Söhne "Lange 1" "Ref. 101.032" has a unique presence.

Released in 1997, this watch features an elegant 18KPG (pink gold) x silver dial, and is one of the most popular models from the brand. Its greatest feature is its design based on the golden ratio of two subdials, a power reserve, and an oversized date. It is not only beautiful to look at, but also highly legible, giving the viewer an intellectual impression. The main dial is off-center, and while it is asymmetrical, it maintains an exquisite balance, which has had a major impact on the watch world. On the other hand, it also has a stop-second function that allows you to stop the second hand by operating the crown, making it a practical design.

"Lange 1" is the perfect film for the director Eastwood, who became a famous director after being a star actor. I hope he continues to make movies in the future.

【Louis Vuitton】
"Tambour Automatic GMT"
"Ref.Q11550"

The Louis Vuitton Tambour Automatic GMT, Ref. Q11550, is designed with travel style in mind.

The Tambour series was launched in 2002 as a homage to the tambour-shaped travel clocks made in southern Germany in the 16th century. This model features a standard brown dial with a yellow accent on the chronograph hand, and is equipped with a GMT function that displays a second time zone.

Director Spielberg uses the Tambour on a daily basis. Like Spielberg's works, the Tambour is linked to his works that transcend time and space, such as the past and future, and has a story that makes him feel like a time traveler... It's clear that he is attracted to the Tambour!
