Later, Annie's best friend, who noticed something was wrong with her, consulted a teacher at school, and an investigation was launched into the case as a rape case, but Annie refused to admit that she was a victim, saying, "We were in love."

In the crime drama " Chat" (2010), which depicts the struggles of a father trying to save his daughter from sexual assault, Clive Owen wears a Panerai Luminor 1950 8 Days Chrono Monopulsante GMT (Ref. PAM00311 ) .
The sandwich dial Panerai is a watch that suits a " strong and kind father ." At the same time, it also highlights the dangers of the internet society, where even a "strong and kind father" has a hard time protecting his family.

In the near future, New York has seen a dramatic decline in crime as people's memories are publicly recorded and privacy and anonymity are lost. First-class detective Sal ( Clive Owen ) is allowed to access people's recorded memories and has solved many cases by referencing the data. One morning, he passes by a woman ( Amanda Seyfried ) in the city who cannot access her memory data.
Saru tries to convince himself that he was just imagining things when he couldn't view the information, but shortly afterwards, he receives news of a murder case that has almost never happened in recent years, and intuitively believes that it must be the woman's doing. Saru begins his investigation into a serial killer who hacks into the vision of his victims and repeats his crimes without leaving anyone's memory, and gradually becomes lost in a case that revolves around " memory ."

Anon (2018) is a sci-fi suspense film that depicts a brutal crime that occurs in a society where people's memories are recorded and shared. Clive Owen, who plays the detective investigating the case in this film, wears a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Geographic (Ref. Q1428421) .
It is a world where information about all people and things is displayed within people's field of vision, and when he looks at his watch, the Jaeger-LeCoultre logo, the model name " MASTER GEOGRAPHIC ", product information, etc. are displayed in his field of vision. The white digital display floating in the dark world and the multi-function watch with a matching silver dial create a stylish atmosphere reminiscent of a near-future science fiction world.
If all movies displayed clock information on the screen like this, it would make researching for this column a lot easier! (laughs)

Clive Owen makes a brief cameo appearance in a scene from a drama series that depicts the troubled daily life of charismatic American TV producer Larry David , but the watch he wears on his wrist is a luxury item, both in terms of model name and price. The watch in question is the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylinder Perpetual Calendar (Ref. Q5043580) . The price is about 17 million yen in Japanese yen.
He enjoys playing the role of his " deformed version of himself, " Clive Owen, a star actor who wears a grand complication model with a flying tourbillon, perpetual calendar, moon phase, and zodiac display on a daily basis.
summary
What did you think.
Clive Owen has a strong image of being rugged. Panerai watches fit his image perfectly, but I think it was surprising to see him wearing Jaeger-LeCoultre's elegant watches on multiple occasions.

In fact, Clive Owen is an ambassador for Jaeger-LeCoultre, and naturally he wears Jaeger-LeCoultre watches in the film and in his private life. The photo of him with former Jaeger -LeCoultre CEO and current Richemont Group CEO Jerome Lambert is also very good (laughs).
Clive Owen, who is from England and has a masculine yet traditional elegance, seems to fit perfectly with the image of Jaeger-LeCoultre, which perfected the active wristwatch for polo games into the elegant dress watch, the Reverso .
Speaking of Jaeger-LeCoultre ambassadors, many of them are "British actors who can also do action", just like Clive Owen, such as Benedict Cumberbatch from " Doctor Strange " (2016) and Nicholas Hoult from " Mad Max: Fury Road " (2015), and this commonality gives us a glimpse into the brand's image strategy.
One way to enjoy watches is to find the relationship between the movie and the watch from the " image of the actor who serves as the ambassador ." If you wear a watch from a brand whose ambassador your favorite actor is, you will surely feel more attached to it. This may be a good way to choose a watch.
see you!
