[Pearl Harbor] Josh Hartnett's watch ~Actor's Watch #196~

Josh Hartnett played leading roles in blockbuster films such as "Pearl Harbor" (2001) and "Black Hawk Down" (2001), and was considered one of the "young stars who will lead Hollywood in the 21st century." However, he did not like the celebrity lifestyle that constantly drew attention from the public, and at the height of his popularity in 2003, he even turned down an offer to play Batman from director Christopher Nolan, and significantly cut back on his work. He chose to live a quiet life with his family rather than seek fame and popularity.

Now in his 40s and with a reputation as a great supporting actor, he was once again approached by director Christopher Nolan to star in the blockbuster "Oppenheimer" (2023), which later won seven Academy Awards. He played Dr. Lawrence, a colleague of Dr. Oppenheimer who later won the Nobel Prize in Physics, but many people may not have realized that the actor playing him was the youth star Josh Hartnett.

"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in movies, television, etc.
In this, 196th installment , we will introduce the watches worn by Josh Hartnett.

IWC

Big Pilot's Watch [Ref. IW501001 ]

In June 2024, Josh Hartnett was interviewed by the American entertainment industry magazine Variety. While talking about his work with Christopher Nolan, with whom he teamed up on Oppenheimer (2023), and director M. Night Shyamalan in his latest film, Trapped (2024), the watch he was wearing was an IWC Big Pilot's Watch (Ref. IW501001).

The big pilot watch with a case diameter of 46mm matches the shirt with its striking cuffed sleeves, and is just as impressive. The conical crown is designed to be easy to operate even while wearing pilot gloves, and is not only visually striking, but also extremely easy to operate.

Aquatimer Chronograph [Ref. IW371933 ]

Slevin (Josh Hartnett), a young man whose girlfriend has cheated on him, has lost his job and his home, and is now in debt. He comes to New York to rely on his friend Nick, but unfortunately Nick is not there. Then, a gangster appears and mistakes him for Nick, kidnapping him and taking him to the boss of a black crime organization (Morgan Freeman). Before he knows it, Slevin is caught up in a gang war...

Josh Hartnett and Morgan Freeman star in the crime comedy "Seven" (2006). The watch worn by Josh Hartnett, who plays the unlucky young man Slevin, is an IWC Aquatimer Chronograph (Ref. IW371933). This watch appears as an important key item in the story. It is shown in close-up several times, so if you're interested, be sure to check it out.

Bvlgari

Octo Roma Chronograph [Ref. 103471 ]

The last one is from the London premiere of "Oppenheimer" held in July 2023. Josh Hartnett, who matched his Gucci suit and loafers, was wearing a Bvlgari Octo Roma Chronograf (Ref. 103471), also from the same Italian brand as Gucci.

Compared to the dressy Octo Finissimo, the Octo Roma 2023 model has a sporty appearance with a crown guard. This model was chosen because it combines a glamorous yet casual atmosphere with the casual style of a suit.

summary

What did you think?

He chose luxury watches that are affordable for ordinary people, costing around 1 to 2 million yen. Although it is modest for a Hollywood star, I think that this lineup of honest luxury watches is suitable for someone like him who is not interested in the celebrity lifestyle.

His latest starring role is in the suspense film "Trapped" (2024), directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who also directed "The Sixth Sense" (1999) and "Signs" (2002).

Cooper (Josh Hartnett) wins platinum tickets to the world-famous singer Raven's concert and goes to the venue with his daughter. However, the police receive a tip that a wanted murderer has snuck into the venue. With Raven's help, the police set up traps around the venue to catch the culprit. But it turns out that Cooper is the murderer...

If you're angry and saying "Don't give me spoilers!", don't worry. Cooper's true identity is also shown in the movie trailer. Since it's directed by Shyamalan, who also directed "The Sixth Sense", there will probably be a big twist from there.

Since "Oppenheimer," Josh Hartnett has begun to appear in blockbusters and other hit films. Opportunities to see him on the big screen, having successfully transitioned from a young star to a character actor, are likely to increase in the future.

See you later!
