In our introductive article , we showed what models are prefered by one of the most popular celebrities in the present moment. Though many of the watch lovers and collectors know who is wearing its favorite brand, it would be an interesting parallel to see which were the most worn timepieces back in the past and what is changed in today's world.
THEN
We will start remembering one of the most iconic actors that was associated with a misteries, adventures, beautiful women and… super-spy watches. You guessed it right, it's about Paul Newman .
When you think at the first James Bond movies, automatically you have the image of Paul Newman with his sophisticated Rolex Daytona. He was so fond of this collection that he worn it EVERY DAY from 1967 to 2006, until the day of his death.
What timepiece would outline the special attitude and mistery that you find around George Clooney ? An Omega Speedmaster, of course. Expensive, lasting and classic in the same time, this collection is enhancing every owner's confidence. As our George Clooney wouldn't need that, it will only widen his conqueror aura. Don't you think?
Let's talk about the symbol of elegance itself: Audrey Hepburn . What classic timepiece you think she used to wear? What delicate and sophisticate brand would outline her innocence and femininity? A beautiful and yet simple model from Cartier , to outline her beautiful small wrist still not decorated enough to steal the attention from her stunning personality.
Changing everything she touched into a masterpiece, transforming the lifes of millions of people, she always had a special grace mesmerising everyone around her. This is why Longines wanted her to be their image, describing perfectly the combination of sophistication and elegance.
Who loves classics, surely knows Cary Grant . Maybe you would like to find out that his real name, Archie Leach was used as his own character name in the movie “ A Fish Called Wanda “. He has fascinated thousands of women with his personality and acting talent, so Cartier wanted him also for its promotion campaign.
Cary Grant was usually spotted wearing a manly Cartier Tank.
This actor is widely known and loved by every woman and little girl that loves a powerful yet sly man. We all know him from “ Gone with the wind ” masterpiece. Yes, it's the fabulous Clark Gable who loved to be surrounded by beautiful women and luxury. In the picture you can see him wearing a yellow gold Rolex Oyster Perpetual . Clark Cable also worn brands as Patek Philippe or Cartier (Tank to be more specific, like Cary Grant).
The next icon on our list is the king of rock'n roll. He simply couldn't miss, especially as he had a wide taste in watches, as he had in women, too. No other that, of course, Elvis Presley . He had many watches, rarely you could see his wrist without a luxury watch on it, among we will remind an Omega Constellation (left picture) which was recently sold on a New York auction for not less than $50,000 . That's quite a good price for owning a watch the King himself has worn, huh?
Elvis has oftenly worn the Hamilton, brand who he loved the most (right picture, a Hamilton Ventura to be more exact), but also liked the Omega (with black dial), the square Longines or Corum Buckingham.
What about another classic we all love? The unique and genius, Charlie Chaplin has put a powerful touch on today's comedy movies. As for the brand he loved, it was the International Watch Company, (IWC) Schaffhausen. Let's follow his advice that became a popular quote “a day without laughter is a day wasted.” In this happy note, we leave you wishing you a productive day, hoping you enjoyed this watch story remembering our most loved classics.
