The elegance is in the detail, a subtle touch that changes everything. Watches in movies are more than just an accessory, even an iconic one. If they can enhance a costume, they are above all symbolic, underlining a status or passing on history. Masters of time, they are often of crucial importance for the hero. Some roles are inseparable from their watches: it is impossible to imagine James Bond without his mythical Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster on his wrist, Steve McQueen without his Tag Heuer or Ryan Gosling in Drive without his Calatrava. Sometimes watches even become actors in their own right, such as “the Gold Watch” in the cult scene in Pulp Fiction, the IWC worn by Sophie Marceau in Anthony Zimmer, or the historic Omega, actually worn on the moon by Neil Armstrong and which appears in Damien Chazelle’s First Man on the Moon. Discreet or famous, these watches are the object of a fascination that goes beyond genres and generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":49967,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[21562,21590],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-49254","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-books","7":"product_cat-watches","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"product-type-external"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
