"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 168th installment, we will introduce Tom Hardy 's favorite watch .
At the 88th Academy Awards in 2016, " Mad Max: Fury Road " was nominated for 10 awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, and won six awards, the most of any film that year. This is the first new film in the series in 27 years, and Tom Hardy took over the role of the main character, Max, from Mel Gibson. He overturned the voices of outsiders who said, "No one could play Max if it wasn't Mel Gibson," and became a huge hit around the world. It also created many enthusiastic repeat viewers in Japan.
I too recall the days when I frequently went to the theater to see it, from the loud screenings at Tachikawa Cinema City, to second-run screenings at the now-defunct Yokohama New Theater, to 4DX, Japanese dubbed versions, and black and white versions.

The latest film in the series, " Mad Max: Furiosa, " to be released on May 31, 2024, is a prequel that depicts the younger days of Furiosa, the heroine of "Fury Road." So, unfortunately, Max (Tom Hardy) will not appear in "Furiosa." However, without the worldwide success of "Fury Road," "Furiosa" would never have been made.
In this issue of "Actor's Watch," we will be introducing the watch collection of Tom Hardy , the man responsible for the revival of the " Mad Max " series.

A scene from the 88th Academy Awards ceremony in 2016. Tom Hardy, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for " The Revenant" (2015), not "Mad Max: Fury Road " (2015), took a commemorative selfie with his wife, actress Charlotte Riley , and his co-star in the film, Leonardo DiCaprio .
The watch peeking out from the sleeve of Tom Hardy's tuxedo as he holds his smartphone is a Bvlgari Bvlgari Chronograph (Ref. BBP41BGLDCH) . The unique design with the brand name on the bezel was created by Gerald Genta , a watch designer known for creating the Patek Philippe Nautilus and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. The gorgeous pink gold Italian watch seems more like a match for the styling of his wife, who is clad in a sexy dress, than Tom Hardy himself.
Rolex

Next up is Rolex. This is a shot from the premiere of Christopher Nolan 's " Dunkirk " (2017). Tom Hardy, dressed sharply in a suit with a British finish, is wearing what appears to be a Rolex Sky-Dweller (Ref. 326934) .
"Dunkirk" depicts the battle between the British and French allies and the German army in World War II. In the movie, he plays a fighter pilot for the Royal Air Force, so the styling of the " British + pilot watch " was chosen to match that. Incidentally, in the movie, he wears an Omega (Ref. CK2129) , which was actually used by the Allied forces during World War II.
Turn-O-Graph [ Ref.116264 ]

A scene from the press conference for the new movie " Black & White " held in 2012. Tom Hardy was wearing a Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph (Ref. 116264) , with its trademark red second hand and calendar, to match his casual red T-shirt.
In "Black & White," Tom Hardy plays a suit-wearing CIA agent, and perhaps he chose the Turn-O-Graph to match his character's elegant yet sporty look.
Explorer II [ Ref.216570 ]

Lastly, here is the watch worn by Tom Hardy when he visited the Toronto Film Festival to promote his 2015 film, " Legend . " He was wearing a Rolex Explorer II (Ref. 216570) .
The Toronto Film Festival is known for its casual atmosphere compared to the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards. Tom Hardy also enjoyed the festival in a very casual outfit of a T-shirt, denim pants, and a baseball cap. The Explorer II, which was matched to his everyday style, may be his favorite car for everyday use.
summary
What did you think?
Apart from the Bulgari he wore at the Academy Awards, Tom Hardy's watch wardrobe was dominated by plain Rolexes. It's safe to say that he believes that "when it comes to watches, the most practical Rolex models are the best."

Regarding the new Mad Max series that began with "Fury Road," Tom Hardy said in a 2015 interview, "It may change depending on the box office results, but it will be a four-part series," and "I plan to appear in the sequels as well."
Director George Miller is now 79 years old, but if you watch the trailers for "Fury Road" and "Furiosa," it's clear that his power as a film director has not diminished. In the next film in the series, which will be released in a few years, we will be able to see the heroic figure of Max Rockatansky, played by Tom Hardy.
For that reason, I would like to donate to "Furiosa" as much as possible. I will probably be out of contact for a while after the release, but please don't look for me.
see you!
