Walking through the mall, going to the supermarket, or walking around the workplace, my eyes are always keenly aware of the watches people are wearing.\u00a0 And the same can be said for films. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always check the timepieces, with great excitement, on the wrists of actors and actresses who grace the silver screen. And judging by the marketing strategies of many famous watch companies, there is\u2014and always has been\u2014a great connection between horology and Hollywood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand ambassadors show up daily on my social media feed, or on a billboard, a commercial, and on and on.\u00a0 I have to be honest: I love it. I think that horology needs the exposure that these brand ambassadors, and films, can bring to younger generations.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay\u2014let me spare you from rattling on about watch marketing strategy and film.

This gave the watch a cult-like following, and it\u2019s been popular ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equipped with features like three time zones, a chronograph, an alarm, and a trusty backlight, this multifaceted &#8220;tool&#8221; watch was a true purpose-built machine.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The H558 was discontinued in 1990. The secondary market is the only place serious collectors can attain the original today, with prices ranging from around $500 into the thousands, depending on condition.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer something a bit newer, Seiko\u2019s most recent offering is the SNJ025, a solar-powered reissue released in 2019 with an MSRP of $525.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9.

At that time, I was just getting into horology as a serious collector, and I remember being so impressed with how much Benedict Cumberbatch\u2019s character interacted with watches in the film. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a wealthy and successful surgeon, Dr. Strange had quite a collection, and we get a momentary glance at his watch winder filled with the likes of Rolex and Cartier. But it\u2019s his Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Perpetual, gifted to him by his love interest, Christine Palmer, that steals the show.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My God\u2014what a watch, I remember thinking, when I first saw him put it on. I cringed when he got mugged in Kathmandu, leading to the watch\u2019s crystal shattering. He still wore the watch\u2014it remained a sentimental piece to him, and this really resonated with me as a collector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the \u201cexact\u201d reference from the film has been discontinued, the almost identical ref. Q114842J features a 39mm stainless steel case, 9.2mm thick, housing the in-house automatic Calibre 868 with a 70-hour power reserve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It offers perpetual calendar functions\u2014including day, date, month, year, moonphase, and a red &#8220;danger zone&#8221; indicator\u2014requiring no manual correction until the year 2100, and maintains high accuracy typical of JLC&#8217;s in-house calibers. You too can be like Dr. Strange\u2014you just have to cough up the MSRP of $28,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8.

Heuer Monaco (ref. 1133B) <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Worn by the legendary Steve McQueen in the 1971 film <em>Le Mans<\/em>, the Heuer Monaco was a truly unique square-cased chronograph with a blue dial.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The model was introduced in 1969 and was one of the first automatic chronographs, featuring the Calibre 11. Mcqueen actually chose to wear the Monaco for the film, and this cemented its popularity and iconic status.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vintage Heuer Monaco 1133B watches without celebrity provenance typically range from approximately $14,000 to $22,000, depending on condition and originality.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original Heuer 1133B worn by McQueen in the film sold for $1.4 million dollars in 2024. But there\u2019s good news: Tag Heuer released a homage model (ref. CAW211P.FC6356) with a retail price of $8100.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u2026and cut!
