"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this 174th installment, we will introduce Adam Driver 's favorite watch .
In the Star Wars trilogy, released from 2015 to 2019, Adam Driver played the role of Kylo Ren , the ultimate villain who has Jedi descent but falls to the dark side of the Force. Since then, his presence and acting ability, which makes it impossible to take your eyes off even his expressionless standing figure , have seen him appear in numerous films by some of the film industry's most renowned directors, including Martin Scorsese, Steven Soderbergh, Spike Lee, Jim Jarmusch, and Leos Carax.
In this issue of "Actor's Watch," we will be introducing Adam Driver 's watch collection.
Rolex
Oyster Perpetual 39 [Ref.114300]

The 61st New York Film Festival took place in September 2023. Adam Driver, who visited the festival to promote his starring film " Ferrari " (2024), was wearing a black tuxedo and a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 (Ref. 114300) watch.
By the way, this Rolex is the same one he wore in the 2019 movie " Marriage Story ." It must be his favorite. Adam Driver is supposed to be making a lot of money, but the fact that he likes such a reasonable and simple model makes me like him a lot more.
Breitling
Super Chronomat B01 44 [ Ref.AB0136161C1S1 ]

Next up is Breitling , for which he was an ambassador. In 2018 , Adam Driver became a member of the Cinema Squad , an ambassador team to promote both the film industry and Breitling, along with Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, and Daniel Wu. Since then, he has often worn Breitling watches in public.
The rock maverick who is also a fan, director Edgar Wright, made a documentary about Annette, and the musical film Annette (2021) starring Adam Driver was written, scripted and composed by Sparks, a band that Flea and Beck have the utmost respect for, and was called Annette by Adam Driver. When he visited the Cannes Film Festival to promote the film, he was wearing a Breitling Super Chronomat B01 44 (Ref. AB0136161C1S1) .
The sporty rubber strap chronograph adds a playful touch to the casual look of a no-tie collared shirt.
Premier B15 Duograph 42 [ Ref.RB1510251B1P1 ]

Continuing with Breitling, here is a snapshot from the 2022 Venice Film Festival. Adam Driver, who appeared on the red carpet as the lead actor in the film " White Noise ," released that year, wore a Breitling Premier B15 Duograph 42 (Ref. RB1510251B1P1) with his tuxedo.
Compared to the sporty Super Chronomat, this is an elegant watch that combines a leather strap with red gold. Equipped with a complex split-second chronograph mechanism, this timepiece has a history that follows the design of a vintage model from the 1940s, and goes well with a chic tuxedo.
Piaget
Polo [Ref. G0A48021]

The Cannes Film Festival will be held in May 2024. Francis Ford Coppola , the master director behind many masterpieces that have left their mark on film history, such as " The Godfather " (1972) and " Apocalypse Now " (1979), spent more than 30 years planning his ambitious film " Megalopolis ," which sparked a great deal of controversy, with criticism ranging from "too difficult to understand" to "a historical masterpiece."
Star Adam Driver appeared on the red carpet at Cannes with director Coppola and others. The watch he was wearing at the time was thought to be a Piaget Polo (Ref. G0A48021) . Piaget is generally recognized as a jeweler, but it is actually a watchmaker and manufacture founded by watchmaker Georges-Édouard Piaget in 1874. Piaget's chic and elegant watch, unique to Piaget, which is well-versed in both luxury and machinery, gives Adam Driver a different impression than Breitling.
summary
What did you think?
When I was writing this column, I looked up Adam Driver's favorite watch, but most of the information I found was about the watch he wore at film festivals . This means that he has starred in many films by famous directors who are invited to film festivals, and it is proof that his acting has earned him great trust from film directors around the world.
I would have liked to see a more private choice of watch, such as the one he wore when he was photographed by paparazzi in the street , but I think this lineup of watches while wearing a tuxedo also shows the personality of Adam Driver as an actor, so I'll say it's okay.

Adam Driver's latest work is " Ferrari " (2024), a biographical film directed by Michael Mann of " Ford v Ferrari " (2020), which is a remake of the historical events of the motorsports world. It is a biographical film depicting the life of Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the luxury car manufacturer Ferrari, whose private life was shrouded in mystery.
Enzo Ferrari is known as the chairman of Ferrari when he formed a partnership with Heuer in the 1970s, so maybe a rare vintage Heuer watch will appear on screen. We'll have to wait for more details on that in the future.
see you!
