"Actor's Watch" focuses on watches worn by actors in movies, television, etc.
For our 130th installment, we will be looking at Jeremy Irons' watch .
The psychological suspense film " The Deadly Bonds " (1988) depicts the tragic love affair between twin obstetricians. Jeremy Irons, who played the twin obstetricians in a double role, received high praise for his performance in this film, and two years later, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in " Reversal of Fortune " (1990), in which he played a man convicted of turning his wife into a vegetable. He then became an international star actor.

" Inland Empire " (2006) was the retirement film of David Lynch , the king of cult films known for " Eraserhead " (1977) and " Lost Highway " (1997). At first glance, the watch worn by Jeremy Irons, who plays Kingsley, a film director who praises the acting skills of the lead actress, looks like a Cartier Mast Tank.
However, since there is no cabochon on the crown, this watch is most likely a Longines DolceVita (Ref. L5.655.4) .
The "Dolce Vita" watch has the same name as the original title of the masterpiece " La Dolce Vita " (1960) by Federico Fellini, the master of French cinema whom David Lynch admires. Perhaps choosing this model as a "watch worn by a film director" is a homage to Fellini.

The conflict between Superman and Batman has arisen, and Lex Luthor, an evil genius scientist who plans to take over the world, uses it to his advantage by pitting them against each other.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) depicts a battle between two superheroes with great powers. Jeremy Irons plays Alfred, the butler who serves the family of Bruce Wayne, the billionaire who is Batman's true identity.
Alfred, who not only looks after Bruce, but also develops and maintains the mechanics used by Batman, wears the Breitling Bentley 6.75 Midnight Carbon Limited (Ref. M444B27ERB) , an impressive watch with a 49mm case diameter that pays homage to Bentley's largest engine, the 6.75 liter engine.
Alfred, who served as a spy for Britain during World War II, is not merely an obedient man, but also exudes a strong sense of professionalism.

The controversial film " House of Gucci " (2021) delves into the truth behind the assassination of Maurizio Gucci, the third generation of the family that founded the fashion brand Gucci , and has sparked criticism from the Gucci family. The watch worn by Jeremy Irons, who played Maurizio's father, Rodolfo Gucci, is thought to be a Vacheron Constantin Overseas (Ref. 4500V/000R-B127) .
The Overseas was a model released in 1996 , so it is out of date for Rodolfo Gucci, who died in 1983 , to wear it. However, it is believed that the Overseas, which combines style and elegance, was chosen to prioritize his image as a popular actor before joining Gucci's management.
summary
What did you think.
Jeremy Irons is a star actor who is one of the most popular " cool older men" in the UK, and even in the film, he is never seen wearing a casual watch such as a cheap Casio or G-SHOCK, and almost all of his watches are from historic brands.

As of July 2023, Jeremy Irons is a respectable " grandfather actor" who is 74 years old , but his fashion sense has always been unique and edgy, and his outfits are often a hot topic on social media such as Instagram and Pinterest .
There are very few photos of him in casual clothes that show his wrist, so unfortunately I was unable to confirm what kind of watches he is matching with these styles, but his fashion snaps are fun just to look at, so I will use this as encouragement to continue my research a little more.
We will update you as soon as we find out what watch he is wearing!
Surprisingly, it might be a G-SHOCK ...
see you!
