Since then, he has immersed himself in watch culture and design by apprenticing, enlarging his network, reading the works of watchmaking legends, purchasing his own milling and guilloch\u00e9 machines, and learning French, while continuing to climb the \u201cday job\u201d acting ladder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7 Watches Inspiring Aldis Hodge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aldis Hodge has been spotted wearing many watches both onscreen and in public appearances that have helped inspire his own high-flying, horological visions.

But<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/sponsored\/story\/actor-aldis-hodge-designed-a-must-see-watch-for-audemars-piguet\"> his Audemars Piguet (AP) Royal Oak Offshore chronograph<\/a>, with its distinctive integrated case design and octagonal bezel with industrial threaded bolts, suits him well, especially since it was originally conceived by one of Hodge\u2019s designer idols,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.geraldgenta-heritage.com\/gerald-genta\"> legendary watchmaker and artist Gerald Genta.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This 43mm diameter, 14.4mm thick reference has an 18k pink gold case and black ceramic bezel, pushers, and screw-down crown. Both the handset and the applied indices are pink gold and lumed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are timing hours and minutes subdials at 3 and 6 o\u2019clock, respectively, a date window at 4:30, and a tachymeter on the inner bezel. The black dial has a \u201cGrand Tapisserie\u201d (aka, \u201cwaffle\u201d) pattern and is paired with a black rubber strap and an additional one in alligator leather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water resistance is a robust 100 meters. At $68,500 retail, it helps if you have a few films and shows under your belt like Hodge before waltzing into your nearest AD and asking for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.

The watch was a 2016 refresh of the first watch the company produced in 2005 and retailed at the time for an eye-popping $1.1 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It features a 50mm diameter, clear sapphire openworked case which offers a 360 degree view of the intricate movement architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 30 degree inclined tourbillons technically increase accuracy, but their aesthetic effect, paired with the visual impact of the hand-finished subdials and inner workings, offer an \u201cooh, ahh\u201d religious experience like that of the Sistine Chapel ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are there any still out there, and how much would one cost now? I\u2019m sure there are, but I\u2019m afraid to ask.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

No surprise, then, that<a href=\"https:\/\/revolutionwatch.com\/aldis-hodge-great-expectations\/\"> Hoge turned to his legacy for knowledge and inspiration and wears the Tradition 7097.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This watch captures the spirit of Breguet\u2019s early, intricate pocket watch designs and houses it in a 40mm diameter, 11.7mm thick 18k white gold case with an openworks design that showcases the finely-crafted angles and guilloch\u00e9d facets of the dial and mechanism in all their glory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The featured complication of the watch is its retrograde seconds hand that moves across an arc subdial and jumps back to its starting point rather than continuing a full revolution for each minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high quality black alligator strap and white gold buckle complete this fine piece, and it<a href=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/breguet-tradition-7097bb-g1-9wu.html\"> &nbsp;retails for a \u201cmere\u201d $43,300<\/a>, which, compared to our first two, is a real steal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

Hodge Atelier watches will speak once he launches the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

Ronzen Jumping Hour \u201cGhost\u201d designed by independent Canadian watchmaker Fernando Ronzen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another limited edition piece that appeals to Hodge because of its highly complicated and mesmerizing blend of timekeeping and art. It has a 40mm stainless steel case with a Hesalite crystal and sapphire display caseback. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the dial are discs for hours, minutes, and date, but instead of floating ones like A&amp;S Golden Wheel, these turn, but with a \u201ctwist\u201d. The minutes and date discs rotate conventionally, but the hours disc, per the name, \u201cjumps\u201d to the next Arabic numeral index at the top of the hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The movements are vintage ones from the 1970s used for jumping hours watches of that decade which have been rebuilt and modified by Ronzen. Finding the original retail price proved elusive. I mean, if you have to ask, then . . . well, you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.

Roth, another watchmaker whom Hodge admires, started his company in 1989 (the brand is now owned by Bulgari), and his artisanal watches are recognized for their distinctive fluted lugs and signature \u201cdouble ellipse\u201d shaped case, a cross between a cushion and barrel-shaped tonneau.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hodge\u2019s piece is 18k white gold and employs a tourbillon at the 6 o\u2019clock position, along with a small seconds subdial that is 3 tiered arcs with progressively longer hands that rotate and correspond to the correct seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is powered by the DR 5300 movement which provides a ginormous 8-day (192 hours) power reserve with a single full wind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upper half contains a traditional dial with Roman numeral indices embedded in a beautiful, silvered guilloch\u00e9 background<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chrono24.com\/search\/index.htm?dosearch=true&amp;query=Daniel+Roth+8+day+tourbillon\">. A DR 8-Day Tourbillon like Hodge\u2019s will probably set you back $70-90K.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.

But we get a sneak peek horological \u201ctrailer\u201d of sorts in the form of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/black-adam-star-aldis-hodge-hawkman-wardrobe-custom-watch\"> a non-working prototype piece that Hodge designed and created for his character Carter Hall, aka \u201cHawkman\u201d, to wear in the 2022 DC Comics Superhero movie <em>Black Adam<\/em><\/a>, starring Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it is only a prototype, the piece is composed of basic contemporary materials such as brass, steel, and calfskin with no working movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/watchballers.ig\/reel\/C-npsp1RpYU\/\"> But the real story is the design motif of the dial, which is based on images from <em>The Egyptian Book of the Dead<\/em> which Hodge felt perfect for Carter Hall<\/a> who is depicted as either an Egyptian prince or a police officer from the planet Thanagar who has reincarnated as a combination of an archeologist and superhero!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that confluence of roles and identities reminds you of the Renaissance man Hodge himself, then you\u2019re reading it right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Black Adam<\/em> watch design signals Hodge\u2019s serious intentions and foreshadows Hodge\u2019s future duality of both screen star and haute horology watchmaker extraordinaire with an established brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hodge\u2019s Next Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we don\u2019t yet know exactly what Hodge\u2019s first working watch will look like, we can safely assume it will be very stylish and complicated, kindred in spirit with the ones listed above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, juggling his acting career and horology is taking time, and Hodge is dealing with the realities of finding suppliers, parts, watchmakers, and a support team that can help him bring his independent brand dream to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for Hodge, and horologists, time is relative, and \u201cgetting it right\u201d is more important than rushing a watch to market just to commercially satisfy the watch-consuming masses. In fact, selling tons of watches is the least of his concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What matters most to Hodge is fulfilling his innate urge to create beautiful objects that will outlast him and continue a dialogue he started. After that, the \u201ccherry on top\u201d will come from watch aficionados recognizing his unique designer aesthetic from across the room and saying, \u201cLook, that\u2019s an A.
