The biographical film "The Apprentice: The Making of Donald Trump" (2024) is a hot topic, depicting the young Donald Trump. Although President Trump himself tried to block the screening, claiming that the content was "not true," the film has received high praise, with Sebastian Stan, who played Trump, being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
It is said that the notorious lawyer Roy Cohn is the man who laid the foundation for the current President Trump by drilling the timid and sensitive young Trump with the skills to get by: "Don't settle. Don't apologize. Just attack." Jeremy Strong, who played him in this film, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and is rapidly gaining recognition among movie fans around the world as one of Hollywood's new "eccentric actors."
"Actor's Watch" focuses on the watches worn by actors active in the movies and on TV. In this, our 212th installment, we will be introducing the watches worn by Jeremy Strong.

The Met Gala is a fashion festival held every May at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Jeremy Strong was invited to the Met Gala 2024 held last year with his wife Emma Wall. The watch he paired with his white tuxedo decorated with a floral motif was the Richard Mille RM UP-01 Ferrari (Ref. RM UP-01).
This model, a collaboration between Richard Mille and Ferrari, is the brand's thinnest mechanical watch ever. The titanium case housing the 1.18mm thick hand-wound movement "Cal. RMUP-01" is just 1.75mm thick, yet is water resistant to 10m and resistant to shocks of over 5000G.
The theme of this year's Met Gala was "The Garden of Time," inspired by a short story by British science fiction writer JG Ballard. The styling of the tuxedo, reminiscent of a blooming garden, and the Richard Mille watch with its science fiction feel was a perfect fit for the theme.

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony in January 2025 was a big topic in Japan, where the period drama "SHOGUN" swept the awards in the TV drama category. Jeremy Strong, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "The Apprentice: The Making of Donald Trump," unfortunately did not win, but his unique fashion sense made social media abuzz.
Jeremy Strong wore a jade-colored velvet suit, a hat made of the same material, and glasses with the same color frames, and the watch he paired with this look was a Richard Mille Flyback Chronograph (Ref. RM72-01).
This model is the diamond version of the RM72-01, known as the brand's first in-house chronograph movement model. By changing the strap to green, it brings a sense of unity with fashion.

Finally, from one of his appearances.
The Big Short (2015) is a financial drama film that depicts the story of outlaw investors who quickly detected the collapse of subprime mortgages, which caused the Lehman Shock, and made huge fortunes by launching the short selling of the century. In this film, Jeremy Strong plays a financial analyst who investigates subprime mortgages. The watch he wore in the film is thought to be a Rolex Oyster Quartz (Ref. 17000).
Although he makes a lot of money in the film, he is also portrayed as a man who feels guilty about making money by exploiting the financial collapse. This watch was manufactured from 1977 to around 2000. The subprime mortgage collapse occurred around the end of 2007, so the fact that he continues to use the Rolex he bought before and takes good care of it seems to express his seriousness.
summary
What did you think?
Jeremy Strong is known as a long-time Richard Mille enthusiast and has been seen wearing a variety of Richard Mille models wherever he goes. I think he will continue to show off a number of rare watches from the brand, so I'd like to keep an eye on his activities.
In an interview when he appeared in "The Big Short" (2015), Jeremy Strong said, "I've never had a lot of money, and I still don't have it now." However, he has since become a popular actor, receiving offers to appear in major American and British films such as "Detroit" (2017) and "The Gentlemen" (2020), and this year he was nominated for an Academy Award. It is no exaggeration to say that he has joined the ranks of great actors.
Ten years ago, a young actor said, "I've never had a lot of money," but now, ten years later, he can buy several Richard Milles in Hollywood. Let's keep an eye on his next work, which embodies the American dream, and the next Richard Mille he will wear.
See you later!
