First, we will introduce the Rolex GMT Master (Ref. 16753) . Like the blue and red bezel "Pepsi" and the red and black bezel "Coke," this model is affectionately known to watch enthusiasts as "Root Beer" due to its brown and gold bezel coloring.
When thinking of Hollywood actors wearing this model, the first one that comes to mind is Clint Eastwood . As mentioned in the first article of this column, Clint Eastwood has worn the same watch in several movies, including " Firefox " (1982) and "The Secret Service " (1993).

Bradley Cooper was invited as a guest to the launch event of Bvlgari's new jewelry collection in 2013. The watch he was wearing was likely the Bvlgari Octo (Ref. BGO41BSSD) , which was released in the same year.
The Octo was designed by Gerald Genta, known for designing the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak , and was released as part of the Bvlgari collection in 2004.
The watch was created by Bvlgari, a leading Italian jewelry brand, in collaboration with watch designer Gerald Genta, whose parents are of Italian descent. It is worn by Bradley Cooper, who has Italian descent from his mother, making this a choice that strongly evokes his "commitment to Italy."

Bradley Cooper was appointed an IWC ambassador in 2018. As the first solo ambassador for the brand, he is expected to wear an IWC Big Pilot's Watch (Ref. IW501007) .
So, is this watch just worn as advertising?
No, that is not the case. Bradley Cooper is known to have worn this model in the romantic movie " Aloha " (2015), which was released three years before he became an ambassador, and to have also been a fan of IWC in his private life. In other words, he was an IWC fan even before he became an ambassador, and it can be said that they were in love with each other.
Why "was"?

In 2022, Louis Vuitton will welcome Bradley Cooper as an ambassador to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Maison's first watch, the Tambour. This means that his honeymoon relationship with IWC (Richemont Group) has come to an end and a new relationship with Louis Vuitton (LVMH) has begun.
He is wearing the new Louis Vuitton Tambour (Ref. W1ST10) that was released in 2023. The previous Tambour was a watch with an impressive size that could be called "large and thick," but this new model has been significantly refined and rebranded into a chic and modern design by reducing the thickness and featuring the brand's first case-integrated bracelet.
Bradley Cooper was chosen as the " Sexiest Man Alive " by People magazine in 2011, and in 2024 he will also turn 50. Just like Tambour, this could be a turning point for him as he transforms from a sporty, handsome man into a chic, mature actor with a mature vibe.
summary
