"Doberman" (1997) is a violent action film that represents the French cinema, depicting a bloody battle between a nefarious gang of robbers and a violent detective. Vincent Cassel, who played the leader of the gang in this film, is known by Japanese movie fans as the "French Yusaku Matsuda" due to his acting, which combines strength and coolness, and his height of nearly 190 cm. He then moved to Hollywood, appearing in films such as "Ocean's Twelve" (2004) and "Jason Bourne" (2016). He continues to fascinate fans with his unique acting.
"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in the movies and on TV. In this, our 207th installment, we will be introducing the watches worn by Vincent Cassel.
Audemars Piguet
Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin [Ref. 15202ST.OO.1240ST.01 ]
This is a scene from the 2022 Venice International Film Festival. Vincent Cassel appeared on the red carpet escorting his then-wife, model Tina Kunakey. The watch peeking out from under his sleeve in a casual beige suit is likely an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin (Ref. 15202ST.OO.1240ST.01).
He chose a navy polo shirt that is close to the color of the dial, and combined it with a simple styling of beige and blue. It gives the impression of a French star actor, different from the flashy Hollywood stars.
By the way, this watch has two different models, an early model with a dial color close to blue-gray, and a later model with a bright blue color. The color of the model in the photo looks like the later model to me, but which do you think it is?
Audemars Piguet
CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Star Wheel [Ref.15212NB.OO.A002KB.01]
Next is a snapshot from the Paris Olympics in 2024. Many athletes and celebrities gathered at the opening ceremony, including Vincent Cassel. Vincent Cassel and his new partner, Nara Baptista, attended the ceremony together in casual attire. The watch he was wearing was the Audemars Piguet CODE 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Starwheel (Ref. 15212NB.OO.A002KB.01).
This model features a unique "Wandering Hour Complication" mechanism, in which three discs indicating the hours rotate and point to a minute track from 00 to 60 marked at the top 120° of the dial. The starry sky-like aventurine dial and the movement of the hour discs, which resemble the revolution of planets, combine to create a spacey, floating feel.
Louis Vuitton
Tambour [Ref.Q1122]
The last scene is from the blockbuster movie "Ocean's Twelve" (2004). Vincent Cassel played the French thief "Night Fox", who is a rival to Danny Ocean, the master thief played by George Clooney. The watch he wore in the movie was a Louis Vuitton Tambour (Ref. Q1122).
The Night Fox is a Frenchman who is the descendant of a wealthy Italian aristocrat, but has too much money and time on his hands, so he becomes a thief. This is probably why he chose a Louis Vuitton watch, a luxury brand representing France, instead of a Swiss one. It's the perfect watch for the perfect dandy.
summary
What did you think?
Vincent Cassel is a fan of Audemars Piguet in his private life. In addition to the watches we have introduced this time, he has been seen wearing several Royal Oaks and CODE 11.59s , and seems to be enjoying a fulfilling watch life, using them according to the scene and style.
With his wild appearance, sharp eyes, and tall stature, Vincent Cassel has always been known for playing villains such as gangsters and criminals. However, in recent years, as he approaches his 60th birthday, he has begun to exude a gentler aura, and seems to be breaking new ground, such as playing the kind-hearted operator of a care facility for autistic children in "The Specials" (2019), which depicts the struggles of men who work hard to protect the facility.
That said, to be honest, as a fan, I want to see his mad dog-like performance in "Doberman" again. I wonder if someone will make "Doberman 2" starring Vincent Cassel...
See you later!
