What should an actor, pretty sure of winning the Oscars and the Golden Globe awards, wear on his wrist, to note the most memorable time of his career? A clean classic watch that makes a confident statement. Eddie Redmayne, for the sake of simplicity, did just that.
Eddie was nominated and won the Best Actors award at the Oscars 2015 and Golden Globes 2015, for his role as Stephen Hawking in the movie ‘Theory of Everything’. At both event, Eddie’s Chopard watches were delectable selections.
Promoting the Chopard brand, Eddie Redmayne had a task to choose from the brand’s commendable collections. For the Oscars, Eddie Redmayne wore a dashing blue suit with black buttons. To compliment his look, the one accessory he choose is an evening-blue dial watch, from Chopard. Constructed in Platinum, the blue dial watch is perfectly fitted with a black leather strap with blue stitching. This watch is limited to 25 pieces, only. Now being a winner’s watch, it’s more lust worthy than ever. The other 24 guys who own the same watch know just how much the worth of this watch, has risen.
At thickness 7.13 mm, this blue Chopard Oscars self-winding or automatic watch is very thin. It well suited the 32 year old actor’s lean structure.
The Chopard limited edition LUC watch is a rare piece to own not just for its limited production, but also for bearing the prestigious Poinçon de Genève. This seal is given to very few watches that can promise great precision in time telling.
Eddie’s Oscars watch can gather upto 65 hours of power and is water resistant to 30 meters. A seconds dial sits pretty at 6 Oclock and at 3, is the date window.
At the Golden Globes, Eddie Redmayne again choose a classic Chopard watch. Off-white dial, toned down the heavy velvet jacket, he wore. This watch belongs to the Chopard Classic Manufacture collection. Not a limited edition. However, this watch can set you back $14,740 USD.
Just like the watch Eddie selected for Oscars, this one too covers the basic functions of time telling and does not bear any complication. It’s dial is very different from the blue watch. The actor’s Golden Globes watch uses roman numerals. Dial is thicker. A highlight of this watch is that all of its movement is made in-house by Chopard, which ascertains a high quality in watch making.
