Next generation A-List Watch Ambassadors
Pedro Pascal
Pascal wore a Casio AE1200 in Triple Frontier and a TAG Heuer Monaco in the Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and as Javi Gutierrez in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Pascal was back to wearing the Rolex Datejust, this time with a silver dial, along with an 18K yellow gold Oyster.
He has in fact at least two Santos de Cartiers, one in stainless steel and one in 18K rose gold. We also know he’s an Omega fan because he was seen wearing an Omega Seamaster at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards.
Hey, either way, if you want a rugged yet sophisticated gent to endorse your robust and finely made timepiece, vote for Pedro.
Tom Holland
He’s 26 years old, but he still looks like he’s going to the prom whenever he wears a formal suit. Holland might be young, but his watch collection is already as impressive as his IMDb page.
The young A-lister has been spotted wearing a litany of sought-after icons, from the Piaget Altiplano to the TAG Heuer Monaco Titan. He’s apparently not a snob too – he’s also been seen wearing more affordable timepieces like the Baume & Mercier Classima and Nixon Sentry Stainless Steel.
However, what caught our attention was Holland’s penchant for Cartier, one of luxury’s fastest climbing brands, which was once only synonymous with jewelry and has now become closely associated with unmistakable dress watches.
Jonathan Majors
Jonathan Majors might have first caught your eye when he was revealed as the evil mastermind, Kang the Conqueror, in the final episode of Loki on Disney+. In fact, Jonathan was already blowing silver screen audiences and Hollywood filmmakers away even before Loki, with his gripping performances in The Last Black Man in San Francisco and Lovecraft Country, which were released in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
In Devotion, lead actors Glen Powell and Majors wore various vintage watches like the IWC ref. 436 pilot’s watch and Rolex Oysterdate Precision ref. 6694. Even in his free time, Majors has been spotted rocking Rolex – Majors and his Creed III co-star (and fellow watch geek) Michael B. Jordan have been wearing Rolexes like the Submariner and Oyster Perpetual while promoting Creed III this year.
It’d be cool to see the actor who plays the blue-faced Kang the Conqueror, wearing a blue dial IWC Pilot or blue Omega Seamaster. The latter brand just debuted a futuristic piece of chronometric technology called the Spirate system in the Omega Speedmaster Super Racing.
A young independent brand that is skyrocketing in global popularity right now and destined to become a future legend, Baltic has gorgeous dive watches that would look great on Majors too, who in 2022 is one of Hollywood’s hottest prospects.
Charlie Heaton
As a child, Charlie Heaton might have worn a Timex in Stranger Things, but he has since matured on the small screen and silver screen, into a dapper heartthrob who’s graced GQ’s list of Most Stylish People on the Planet. On the red carpet, he frequently pulls off looks by labels like Loewe, Comme des Garçons and Dior together with his long-time girlfriend and Stranger Things co-star Natalia Dyer.
He doesn’t flaut his wrist accessories, so we’ve identified nary a watch from his collection, except a Cartier Tank that he wore to an awards ceremony.
In recent times, Jaeger-LeCoultre has been backing Timothée Chalamet and also endorsed Anya Taylor-Joy as its official ambassador. However, Heaton is a #notsponsored fan of the brand. He’s often seen wearing a 1970’s Jaeger-LeCoultre, which he did a little show-and-tell with on GQ’s 10 Things Charlie Heaton Can’t Live Without in 2020, while revealing that this is the third vintage watch he’s owned.
A manufacture that has been instrumental in the advancement of split-second chronometry, Longines purveys many modern dress watches with beautiful throwback details. The vintage bracelets, Breguet numerals, deep recessed dials, slender batons and eye-catching cases and lugs are some of many intricate old-school features that would complement Heaton’s effortless mastery of understated elegance.
