"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 171st installment, we will introduce Mads Mikkelsen 's favorite watch .
Osaka Comic Con 2024 , one of the world's largest pop culture events, was held during Golden Week. Every move of the famous actor Mads Mikkelsen, who made a guest appearance following Tokyo Comic Con 2023 at the end of last year, attracted the passionate attention of girls who love handsome older men.
Originally from Denmark, Mads Mikkelsen is known as the " Treasure of Scandinavia " for his unique presence that combines intelligence and wildness, and has appeared in a number of hugely popular series, including " 007 ," " Star Wars ," and " Indiana Jones ."
In this issue of "Actor's Watch," we will be introducing his watch collection.
Ulysse Nardin
Executive Skeleton Tourbillon [Ref.1712-139]

This is a snapshot from the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where director Hirokazu Koreeda 's Shoplifters won the Palme d'Or (the highest award), creating a lot of buzz. Mads Mikkelsen visited the festival to announce his starring film , Left in the Arctic (2018). The watch he is wearing appears to be a Ulysse Nardin Executive Skeleton Tourbillon (Ref. 1712-139) .
This is a truly mysterious watch, with a base plate that is hollowed out to the maximum extent and a tricky structure that uses the index as a bridge, giving the viewer a sense of the movement floating in the air. Maybe it's because of this watch, but even Mads Mikkelsen's smile seems to have something hidden behind it...
Chopard
Alpine Eagle XL Chrono [ Ref.298609-3004 ]

Next up is the Los Angeles premiere of " Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate " (2023), which was a hot topic because 80-year-old Harrison Ford played "the last Dr. Indy." Mads Mikkelsen, who played Dr. Indy's final enemy in the film, is believed to have been wearing a Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono (Ref. 298609-3004) .
The watch he wears is a modern chronograph with a casual rubber strap to match his tieless Italian style. It seems that the entertainment value and science fiction spirit of the Indiana Jones series are reflected in his choice of watch.
LUC Perpetual Twin [Ref.168561-3001]

Next, the watch worn by Mads Mikkelsen at the world premiere of "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate" at the Cannes Film Festival in 2023 was the Chopard LUC Perpetual Twin (Ref. 168561-3001) . "LUC" is a manufacture model that expresses the "origins of the Maison" and has the initials of Chopard's founder Louis-Ulysse Chopard .
With a stainless steel case, this watch has an elegant yet sporty feel, making it the perfect watch to match the image of Mads Mikkelsen, who combines intelligence with wildness.
Seiko

The last shot is with Hideo Kojima , a game creator known for his work on " Snatcher " and " Metal Gear Solid ." Kojima Productions' game " Death Stranding " (2019) is known for having big Hollywood stars such as Norman Reedus and Lea Seydoux play characters. Mads Mikkelsen also appears as a soldier named "Cliff."
Director Kojima and Mads Mikkelsen proudly show off the Seiko Wired Kojima Productions Collaboration (Ref. AGAT730) , a replica of the watch Cliff wears in the game. At the 4 o'clock position on the dial is the silhouette of the studio's symbol, " Ludens ."
summary
What did you think?
Mads Mikkelsen seems to prefer dress watches from established brands such as Ulysse Nardin and Chopard , which have a slightly active feel to them. In this respect, it seems as if the watch directly expresses his charm as an actor, which combines elegance and wildness.

Fans know that Mads Mikkelsen , known as the " Treasure of Scandinavia ," is a man who surprisingly likes jerseys in private. Even in the two-shot with Director Hideo Kojima, the blue jersey gives him the feel of a jogging man. It's like he's watching me take out the trash on my day off. I can't get enough of this contrast between his work and casual appearances.
Well, after the Osaka Comic Con ended, Mads Mikkelsen appeared at a standing bar in Kyobashi, Osaka , and had a drink and a meal before heading home. If he has a chance to appear at the next Tokyo Comic Con, I hope he will also visit Kyobashi in Tokyo. If that happens, I'll leave my work behind and go and watch!
see you!
