A college student ( Tom Holland ) gets into a fight with his girlfriend over a trivial misunderstanding, and believing she has dumped him, he drops out of college in desperation and volunteers for the U.S. Army.
However, after being deployed to Iraq as a medic, he developed PTSD from his brutal experiences on the battlefield. Although he returned home safely, he became addicted to the painkillers " opioids " prescribed by his doctor as a treatment for PTSD.
Gradually, the opioids stopped working for him, and he started using heroin, eventually becoming a drug addict. He soon found himself short of money to buy drugs, and began committing robberies. His life began to take a downward spiral...

In the United States, it has become a social problem that returning soldiers become addicted to drugs during the process of PTSD treatment . In " Cherry " (2021), which depicts a college student whose life is turned upside down by the war, Tom Holland wears a watch that appears to be a Casio G-SHOCK (Ref. GA900E-1A3 ) .
Among the G-SHOCKs, which are known for their sturdiness, the " GA-900 " series has a bezel that is screwed on all four sides, giving it an even stronger and more robust feel. The US military allows the use of personal watches as long as they meet the specifications, and it is known that many soldiers use the familiar G-SHOCK. This watch gives a sense of the background of US military service.
Uncharted
UNCHARTED (2022)

Nate ( Tom Holland ) was separated from his brother Sam at a young age and worked as a bartender alone. One day, Sully ( Mark Wahlberg ), a treasure hunter who used to work with Sam, appears and invites him to join him in searching for the treasure of Magellan, which Sam has been pursuing. At first, Nate refuses, but thinking that he might be able to find out the whereabouts of his long-lost brother, he decides to search for the treasure with Sully.
The two succeed in stealing the "Golden Cross," which indicates the location of the treasure, from the auction house, but Santiago ( Antonio Banderas ), a descendant of the Moncada family who sponsored Magellan during the Age of Discovery, stands in their way, wanting to take the treasure for himself...

"Uncharted " is an action-adventure game in which you control treasure hunter Nathan Drake ( nicknamed Nate ) and solve the mysteries of hidden places around the world in search of treasure. In this film, which is a movie adaptation of the popular game series that has sold a total of 42 million copies, Tom Holland wears a Fossil COACHMAN Chronograph (Ref. CH2565 ) .
Fossil is one of the world's leading fashion watch makers, known for manufacturing watches for brands such as Burberry and Armani on an OEM basis. Since Nate wears a Fossil watch in the game, it seems that a Fossil watch was chosen for the movie as well (although the models are different between the game and the movie).
Well, that's all for the watches Tom Holland wore in the movie.
From here on, let's introduce his private watch .
The watches in question are all luxury watches that are the complete opposite of the models worn in the movie, so we cannot be held responsible if you are shocked by the price difference.
Patek Philippe
Aquanaut Extra Large [Ref.5167R-001]

This is a scene from the press conference for Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) held in Seoul, South Korea. The Patek Philippe Aquanaut (Ref. 5167R-001) was chosen because it matches the marine style of the white open-collar polo shirt.
Incidentally, he also owns a white gold and blue dial Aquanaut (Ref. 5168G-001) , which he has often been photographed wearing.
Perpetual Calendar [Ref.5940R-001]

Next, a scene from the premiere of " Spider-Man: No Way Home " (2022). Peeking out from the cuffs of his chic black suit is what appears to be a Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar (Ref. 5940R-001) . This is a grand complication model that is hard to find these days, as it was discontinued in 2019.
Considering how well it would fit under the cuffs of a suit, a thin model with a movement thickness of 3.88mm and a case thickness of 8.5mm was chosen for a watch with a complex mechanism. It has a sleek wrist style that is perfect for a suit.
Rolex
Daytona [Ref.116500LN]

In the photo of Tom Holland playing with his dog Tessa , he is wearing the well-known Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116500LN) . The Mercedes cap and Daytona give him a celebrity-like look. He even exudes dignity that you wouldn't expect from someone in his 20s. His appearance fee for " Spider-Man: Far From Home " is said to be 400 million yen, so it's not surprising that he has a celebrity-like feel.
By the way, his beloved dog Tessa is said to be a very calm and obedient dog, and often accompanies him to film sets.
Cartier
Santos 100 LM [W20073X8]

Next up was Cartier, who entered the Santos 100 LM (Ref. W20073X8), a watch made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Santos de Cartier. Incidentally, this watch is owned by Jake Gyllenhaal, who co-starred with him in Spider-Man: Far From Home .

Here's a promotional shot for Spider-Man: Far From Home , where Jake Gyllenhaal covers Tom Holland's mouth to stop him from revealing a spoiler. The watch on his wrist appears to be the same one.
In an interview, Tom Holland said of the Cartier Santos, "It's the perfect all-purpose watch that can be worn with a three-piece suit or with jeans and a T-shirt."
Piaget
Altiplano [Ref. G0A43120]
*Source: https://www.wristenthusiast.com/
Next up was the Piaget Altiplano Ultimate Automatic (Ref. G0A43120 ) , an ultra-thin automatic watch with a case thickness of just 4.3mm that brings together the technical expertise of a long-established Swiss watchmaker.
As with the aforementioned Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar (Ref. 5940R-001), Tom Holland seems to like " elegant luxury watches that stand out for their thinness ." While he owns many large sports models, he also has an eye for elegant watches with thin silhouettes, making this a collection that only an advanced watch lover could have.
Tag Heuer
Monaco Caliber 11 Titanium [Ref.CAW218B.FC6496]
*Source: https://www.bosshunting.com.au/
Lastly, we have the TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 Titanium ( CAW218B.FC6496 ) . This is the Monaco's first titanium model, produced in 2021 with a worldwide limited edition of only 500 pieces. The Calibre 11, which features a left-handed crown, is the same specification as the Ref. 1133 worn by the great actor Steve McQueen in Le Mans (1971).
When I see a movie actor wearing a Monaco, I can't help but think that he is " admiring McQueen ," but I couldn't find any interview articles in which Tom Holland mentioned Steve McQueen.
summary
What did you think?
Tom Holland has a baby face that makes him look like a high school student even though he's in his mid-20s. It would be out of place if he were to wear a luxury watch in the movie, so it's only natural that he would choose a low-priced G-SHOCK or Fossil fashion watch.

On the other hand, his private watch is extravagant. I think I have only introduced about one third of the total. If I have the opportunity, I would like to introduce his other watches.
Although there are many super luxury items, Tom Holland does not choose flashy jeweled models, but instead sticks to the " classic watch " models, from sports models to dressy models, and styles the watch that is optimal for the scene . And he is still in his 20s, so it's scary to think about what the future holds, or maybe it's just exciting to see what the future holds...
see you!
