Not only does the brand have a long history, but its new models such as the Overseas and Fiftysix are also highly popular, and Vacheron Constantin has established an overwhelming position in the modern watch industry as one of the world's three major watch brands , alongside Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet.
In this issue of "Actor's Watch," we will take a closer look at movies that feature Vacheron Constantin watches.

" Miami Vice " was a detective drama that was very popular in Japan in the 1980s. In the remake of the series, directed by Michael Mann, who was also the screenwriter and executive producer of the original, " Miami Vice " (2006), the wild and handsome detective Sonny, played by Colin Farrell, wears a Vacheron Constantin watch. I am wearing a Malta Perpetual Calendar Chronograph (Ref. 47112/000P-8915 ) .
Perpetual calendar and moon phase chronograph movement " Cal. 1141QP This platinum cased model is a luxury item with a list price of over 10 million yen.

The erotic suspense film "S " (2008) stars two big stars, Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman. In this film, Ewan McGregor plays a strict accountant who becomes immersed in sensual desires. He wears a Vacheron Constantin. Patrimony Contemporary ( Ref. 81180/000R-9159 ) This is what I think.
Even if he has a high annual income, the role of an accountant would be one in which he would be reluctant to wear a luxury watch that is too obvious. Among Vacheron Constantin watches, the Patrimony Contemporain is a convincing choice, as it is simple yet exudes a sense of luxury and individuality with its distinctive bar and wedge index shape that only those who know can appreciate it.
Wall Street

"Wall Street " (1987) is a financial suspense film that depicts the rise of money games in the 1980s. In " Wall Street " (2013), the sequel to the first in 26 years, Josh Brolin plays Breton, an investment banker who is willing to do anything dirty to make a profit, and wears a Vacheron Constantin watch. He is wearing a Historiques American 1921 (Ref. 82035/000R-9359) .
The 1920s was the era when Ford started mass-producing automobiles and everyone could enjoy driving their own cars. I personally believe that the reason this reproduction model of the driver's watch, made for car enthusiasts of the time, was chosen as a prop is to represent the rise and fall of the automobile industry, a symbol of the history of the American economy. It was only natural that this model would appear in this film, which depicts the contrast between the old and new eras of Wall Street.
Black Hat
BLACKHAT (2015)

The activities of an unknown hacker cause great damage to a nuclear power plant in China and the financial markets in the United States. The FBI and the Chinese government conduct a joint investigation, but they are unable to identify the black hat (a general term for malicious hackers) and the investigation is proving difficult.
The only clue is the program Black Hat used for the hack. It contains code created in the past by Nicholas ( Chris Hemsworth ), a genius hacker currently serving time in prison for repeated credit card fraud. The investigators realize this and offer Nicholas the task of tracking Black Hat, with the promise of his release after solving the case.

Director Michael Mann, who is second to none when it comes to portraying "a man fighting for his pride," has made such headlines as the aforementioned " Miami Vice " (2006) and the much-talked-about " Heat " (1995), starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, and now he has brought us " Blackhat " (2015), a film depicting a man's battle in the IT age.
The protagonist of this film, the genius hacker Nicholas, is played by Chris Hemsworth, who is well known for his role as Thor in " Thor " (2011). At this point, it should be obvious to anyone that this is a "hacker movie in which the protagonist solves cases with muscle and strength rather than intelligence." The watch he wears in this film is the Vacheron Constantin Overseas (Ref. 47040) .
The bezel design of the Overseas changed from eight to six leaves with the third generation in 2016. Therefore, the watch worn in this film released in 2015 is undoubtedly the second generation Overseas. The Overseas, a luxury sports watch representing Vacheron Constantin, powerfully adds a touch of elegance to the wrist of the muscular and sexy handsome star (I repeat, he plays the role of a genius hacker).
summary
What did you think.
A lucky complication , a simple dress model , a driver's watch , and a popular luxury sport watch - four watches with completely different needs were lined up. I don't think it's often the case that the four types of watches I found after finally finding them from a small number of movies, rather than the four I chose from a large number of options, are divided so neatly.
