TGV, remember this comment, I can already see you hittin' a million subscribers in due time! With the originality and creativeness in these vids you top any youtuber out there that reviews watches!
In Back to the Future, the information I found was that Doc is wearing a Seiko A826 Trainer Timer watch on his right wrist, and a version of the Helbros Invincible on his left. Thanks for another great video! Best regards, Dennis
I was out today purchasing my new Rolex Submariner Gold/Black with my daughter. She said what do you want to do now dad, my immediate response was "I want to watch Goldfinger", she admitted she never saw it, so Shelby, Dad and Black n Gold just finished it. All of us enjoyed it, especially Shelby. Thunderball is qued up.
Excellent intro! That's a great list of films that you have chosen. It's great to see Die Hard on the list. Holly Gennaro where Gennaro is the name that John McClane had a rather heated conversation with Holly about. The relationship between John and Holly and how this relationship is managed or affected by the external events is the core point of movie. Alan Rickman's character and the villains play a part in helping us all to better understand the strength of their relationship.
Hello TGV! Fantastic video! I love the fact that you link watches and movies together, both are my favorite subjects as well. I suggest you making this kind of video at least on an annual basis; discussing watches in movies released that year (more contemporary) or maybe during the eve of Oscar. Excellent video! Thumbs Up for you!
Excellent idea and so glad to hear from fellow movie fans, my third major love in life after my wife and watches ;-) Great idea about the oscars. I will certainly consider it, thank you. Best regards, TGV
Great vid again, TGV! I totally adore your intros, since quite a while they are the best I've ever seen on YT! Love your passion about the movies as well. You picked a very strong and evergreen collection to show off in this episode. Keep up the great work!
I remember watching the film. Curiously, a man had his two kids watching the film with him. When we heard the Christopher Walken dialogue we kept giggling for 10 mins straight. Laughter was contagious.
Every since I started watching your channel, I am now watch spotting when I watch Netflix. It is amazing how many quality watches are worn in the Arrowverse. -- I love those Hamilton day-date watches. The full day display is just iconic, and their design is amazing. I am currently pondering either a Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day or Khaki King, but I have never spent more than $220 for watch.
Thank you John for the tip, I will have to check that show out. As for your choice of Hamilton, it's a win win, amazing watches for the money, you can't loose. Happy hunting my friend, Best regards, TGV
Great video. I do love Papillon, it's rich in subtle nuances. The Deer Hunter is so disturbing. It takes me a decade to work up the gumption to watch it again. I just met a guy that works in the same little building that we are in with that Cartier watch shown in North by Northwest as well as a daily barrage of tasty grail pieces. I am so glad you put the Bond Goldfinger in. One of my favorites! Cheers, you can make 30 minutes of RUclips seem like 5.
Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is one of my all time favorite (watch) movies. Bill Murray plays a down on his luck Jacques Cousteau'esk marine expert and he has his trusty Vostok Amphibia to help him along. Great pick for the character, the Vostok is simple, budget yet robust and is very telling of Murray's character. The movie also features a Rolex GMT Master and a Timex if I remember correctly. Wonderful movie.
Agreed, great film. Bill Murrays's character is loosely based on Jacques Costeau, so Costeau's fashion is central to the film's aesthetic. The whole crew wore Vostoks except for Owen Wilson, who iirc wore a pepsi gmt master.
From what I can find online it was the CA-50, not the CA-53W that Marty McFly wore in Back To The Future. Do you have any information or links you could share that may prove otherwise? Thanks! Very enjoyable channel to watch.
Great videos TGV! Only recently discovered your channel and enjoying the backlog as well as the new stuff. On the subject of iconic film/watch combinations: I think Apollo 13 might deserve a mention. The Omegas obviously feature heavily and the famous burn is timed on the chrono. Also, aside from Bullitt, Steve McQueen made the Swiss Heuer/Tag Heuer Monaco famous with the film and marketing for Le Mans.
Dear TGV, as always, a great video and I enjoyed wathing it. What are your thoughts on the new Omega Commander Watch? In my opinion it is absolutely marvelous. Best regards
Very cool video TGV. I've recently subscribed to your channel and am really enjoying the watch education I'm getting from you. I'm a Citizen fan but really appreciate learning about all the other amazing and beautiful watches that are out there. You're a very entertaining person. I tip my hat to you sir 🎩
One of my favorite watch movies is The Party with Peter Sellers. Watches don't play a big role but the scene where Peter Sellers is acting in a period movie and he's wearing a modern (for the time) watch is priceless.
LOL, outstanding my friend. I love that! I am so doing that every Xmas now. Thank you my friend, I hope you and your family are well. Best regards, TGV
Another great video! I asked a question on your James Bond Live show, but I don't think anyone read it. At the end of "SPECTRE" when James Bond drives off in the DB5, he is not wearing a Seamaster or the Aqua Terra. He is wearing a white dialed watch on a leather strap. Do you know what it is?
Hi TGV, first of all let me say that I am a big fan of your channel. Did you watch the movie Driver with Ryan Gosling? I must say it is a bit brutal at times but there is at least one interesting scene where the driver in preparation for a getaway driver job straps his wristwatch to the steering wheel of his getaway car. The entire movie is pretty cool I think. I wonder if would like it. Kind regards
Surprised there was no "Olongapo bracelets" in the scene with the Russian Roulette. They were very popular during the Vietnam war. I'm waiting for one in the mail right now that I had custom made. You should do a video about watches during the Vietnam War including bands/bracelets. Keep up the great work!
A watch I've been interested in is John Wick's Carl F Bucherer Manero which he wears facing inwards on his wrist. Really great action film and the style of everybody in it is just great.
Have you ever touched on the Hamilton Ventura in a movie discussion? Such a cool watch with a lot of personality. Men In Black, and Elvis' go to watch.
Oh my god! That triad from Flight Into Space gives me chills everytime I hear it. I'm actually not sure if it's a triad, so correct me if I'm wrong :) Great content, as always. I have to say, I find your videos inspiring, Fratello :)
Sorry big TGV, had to do this. Favorite watch shot; there are two but this is the only one I could nail down. Mad Men, S5, Ep5, 37 min, approx. 50 sec. No guessing, squinting, or rerunning. For a few moments, it's all about that Omega Seamaster. Okay, got that out, carry on!
Great video as usual, thanks for the hard work. I hit the "like" button right after the intro. That alone would have got the thumbs up but then we get the bonus of the rest of the video.
TGV I really do think that you would have great success on your channel if you explored more topics such as fashion, style, and how to behave like a gentleman and discuss other forms of jewelry and different aspects of horology. With the community you have built, you could really change the lives of people. Another great video!!
The Urban Gentry please share more of your style.. I've bought the skulls and that Seiko clock since watching your videos. Love it, but my wallet hates you. Lol
Hi...just watched parts one and two of this series. One movie missing is Chinatown. There is the "Cheap pocket watch under the tire" scene. There may be more notable watches in the film, but I can't remember...gotta go back and watch it again.
It's interesting that the whole Alec Baldwin scene was specifically introduced for the film. And just how good is it!! It's strangely very motivating even though he totally humiliates the salesmen. It would make me go out into the rain and earn.. wonderful watch it's defiantly my grail piece.. Love your shows peace..
I was working as a teenager in a drive-in theater when we showed "Bullitt"( how long ago was that)! Factoid-They had several versions of each car, some that they had to take the motors out of and push down the hills in San Francisco to keep them from bouncing off the pavement in the car chase and destroying the cars. They tried it initially with motors in the cars and it just wrecked them.
Nice video! But I have to correct you: in the first back to the future movie Marty wears a Casio Ca50, it has blue printed text around the buttons instead of red. Keep up the good work!
Pulp fiction when Bruce willis receives that watch from his dads friend from war(forgot his name). That scene made me appreciate what a story & significance of a watch can tell. Great video btw !
The film The Edge starring Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin & Elle Macpherson in which has a huge OMEGA presence, features two of my most favorable timepieces. Baldwin’s character Bob sports the iconic Seamaster 300m chronodiver with the all chrome bezel & Macpherson’s character is wearing my wife’s preferred everyday watch, a two-tone 22mm Mini Constellation. But it’s quite unclear what watch Mr. Hopkins is wearing because it’s shown only twice in one scene & very briefly.
The casio from Back to the Future makes me ask myself a question. I have a 6000 dollar watch, why am I wearing a Casio A168 that costs 18 dollars everyday this week? And why do I want to buy the databank? Lol. Great video, I like you watch your vids backwards of when they were released which really shows me how much the channel has grown. Also I own a Bullitt Mustang and every time I drive it I wear a field watch! Lol.
Hi TGV, the November Man starring Pierce Brosnan is an excellent example of a time-based theme movie showing the Lorus Chronograph 50m YM92-X156 Watch. I own one and whenever I wear it, I recall the action and scenes from the movie. The watch itself is quite rare nowadays and its price has appreciated over the years.
Stellar release TGV, very inspiring to see "Blow Up' get a solid nod. A masterpiece in my book, and of course the Sub was an intriguing choice for Venessa's character.
Fantastic video, TGV! Really missed your cultural videos. I think it's time for me to watch more 60s films. Le Samourai has great timepieces in it as well.
Well done, Tristano! I would certainly like to see some research into the other, perhaps less well known Bonds and their timepieces. Also, some of 007's supporting characters tend to wear fine watches {Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter, for instance) Do keep up the good work.
Will there ever be a movie watches part 3? If so I'd like to nominate "Stranger than Fiction". I can't speak to the quality of the watch used but it has by far the most personality of any watch featured on film that I've ever seen. Honestly, it should have gotten third billing.
TGV, One of the best examples has to be The Edge (1997) starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. A Seamaster chronograph and Hamilton pocket watch are used as a survival aid and plot device.
You have to watch "planes trains and automoviles" comedy with Steve Martin and John Candy. Specifically when Steve Martin tries to pay for the hotel room. Maybe a Patek Philippe? Don't know the watch on the scene but is very classy.
Tristano you should watch Dr. Strange, big emphasis on the importance and sentimental value of a watch (a JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual in this case) and his drawer full of winders with watches at the start of the film is exciting for any watch geek.
TGV, I just came a cross a italian watch brand Filippo Loreti.( yeah a kickstarter again..) There expensive line look decent: Sapphire glass Japan Miyota 9100 movement 40 hour power reserve What are youre thoughts on this brand?
If you look at blown up stills that are online in watch discussion forums, the watch Tony Montana is wearing has a crown which the Omega La Magique does not have. The movie watch body superficially resembles the OLM, and it has been suggested he was wearing the gold reverse of the OLM, but if you look carefully it is different. I don't know what it is, possibly a prop made for the film...
It's not a movie but in That 70's show, Donna gives Erick a digital Casio for his birthday, the one with steel bracelet, he finds it an amazing gift (who wouldn't?) and from that episode on, the watch becomes a permanent cast member.
Oh maybe one for the next show, The Man From Uncle, not sure if you have seen it but has great scenes around a watch, I won't spoil it for you, great music too, a must see for you really! Onwards and Upwards 😁 Saludos
ah man I was hoping you'd discuss the watch from "Drive" with Ryan Gosling. I suspect you didn't because although the watch was manufactured by Philippe Patek and modeled very closely to an existing Patek, the exact model Gosling wears in the film wasn't ever part of a Patek collection nor sold in the real world. regardless, wonderful video.
Likely Vostok Amphibia, Zlatoust Vodolaz Diver, Poljot Amphibian and many more... Russian crew. USA characters.. Seiko, Timex, possibly Roolex for the officer guys..
The best watch movie for me was Sorcerer with Bruno Cremer , the scene where his wife gave him a watch looks expensive , could' not tell the name , but what a gift and what a wife ! 🤓
I thought for certain you would mention the watch scene in Pulp Fiction. That watch went through more than any other in this list! Cool subject though. Cheers.
TGV, remember this comment, I can already see you hittin' a million subscribers in due time! With the originality and creativeness in these vids you top any youtuber out there that reviews watches!
Very kind of you to say my friend, thank you so much,
Your comment just made my day, you inspire me to keep it going.
Best regards,
TGV
The Urban Gentry Hello. I think you will love the UNDONE watches. You should review the diver and the new urban (classic-chronograph) enjoy
Jody from just one more watch is better
Here we are three years later, half way there!
In Back to the Future, the information I found was that Doc is wearing a Seiko A826 Trainer Timer watch on his right wrist, and a version of the Helbros Invincible on his left.
Thanks for another great video!

Thank you Thomas for sharing that,

Thomas DePew Good man introducing your daughter to some classic James Bond. I personally think Goldfinger holds up as the best Bond movie.
Excellent intro!
That's a great list of films that you have chosen.
It's great to see Die Hard on the list. Holly Gennaro where Gennaro is the name that John McClane had a rather heated conversation with Holly about. The relationship between John and Holly and how this relationship is managed or affected by the external events is the core point of movie. Alan Rickman's character and the villains play a part in helping us all to better understand the strength of their relationship.

in your part 3 ... a couple of cracking pieces to be seen in that film :)
Great vid again, TGV! I totally adore your intros, since quite a while they are the best I've ever seen on YT! Love your passion about the movies as well. You picked a very strong and evergreen collection to show off in this episode. Keep up the great work!
Pulp Fiction - This was your father's watch.
SO, a long time no hear! I hope this finds you well. Pulp was indeed in part 1 ;-)
It just had to be right?!?
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
Yea buddy - Hope you're having a great summer!
Hilarious monologue by Christopher Walken. Great post. Genuinely made me smile. Lol
I remember watching the film. Curiously, a man had his two kids watching the film with him. When we heard the Christopher Walken dialogue we kept giggling for 10 mins straight. Laughter was contagious.

not sure if anyone mentioned it but since you asked, Bruce willis' wife was Bonnie Bedelia.

Have you had any experience with the traser type 3 mil spec watch? Btw huge fan of your content.

Thank you Bob :D
Glad you like it too, difficult to beat the charm of those things.
Best regards,
TGV
Bob FromBrisbane yep, I remember the cool kids cheating in math class with them. Unfortunately I never had one at the time.
Couldn't help but notice De Niro rocking an old school Casio in Heat. I believe his adversary was sporting a Bulgari Chrono of some sort.
Have you ever touched on the Hamilton Ventura in a movie discussion? Such a cool watch with a lot of personality. Men In Black, and Elvis' go to watch.
A few times in fact. Even this years Baselworld video.
I adore them, excellent choice.
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
The Urban Gentry awesome, will have to find that one. Newish subscriber - have been trying to get caught up. 😄
Eyy I just got the Back to Future Casio 👍

Oh my god! That triad from Flight Into Space gives me chills everytime I hear it. I'm actually not sure if it's a triad, so correct me if I'm wrong :) Great content, as always. I have to say, I find your videos inspiring, Fratello :)
Sorry big TGV, had to do this. Favorite watch shot; there are two but this is the only one I could nail down. Mad Men, S5, Ep5, 37 min, approx. 50 sec. No guessing, squinting, or rerunning. For a few moments, it's all about that Omega Seamaster. Okay, got that out, carry on!
You're killing it on youtube lately mate. I'm thinking of doing videos myself but i'm not to sure if i could pull it off. Keep up the good work. :)
Great video as usual, thanks for the hard work. I hit the "like" button right after the intro. That alone would have got the thumbs up but then we get the bonus of the rest of the video.
TGV I really do think that you would have great success on your channel if you explored more topics such as fashion, style, and how to behave like a gentleman and discuss other forms of jewelry and different aspects of horology. With the community you have built, you could really change the lives of people. Another great video!!

Hi...just watched parts one and two of this series. One movie missing is Chinatown. There is the "Cheap pocket watch under the tire" scene. There may be more notable watches in the film, but I can't remember...gotta go back and watch it again.
TGV what do you think of rapper watches specifically the ones iced out with diamonds?
Complimenti per la creatività e l’originalità dei contenuti, davvero un bel canale TGV 🔝🔝
Great video TGV! I love that you included Hamilton.
Thank you sir, Hamilton have an amazing list of movies credits to their name so expect more ;-)
Best regards
TGV
Great video. TGV should do weekly movie reviews
Great taste in films!! So unfortunate that we don’t have that today.
It's interesting that the whole Alec Baldwin scene was specifically introduced for the film. And just how good is it!! It's strangely very motivating even though he totally humiliates the salesmen. It would make me go out into the rain and earn.. wonderful watch it's defiantly my grail piece..
Love your shows peace..
I was working as a teenager in a drive-in theater when we showed "Bullitt"( how long ago was that)!

Pulp fiction when Bruce willis receives that watch from his dads friend from war(forgot his name). That scene made me appreciate what a story & significance of a watch can tell. Great video btw !
I watched this with a CA-53W right in front of me. Love the video. Proud of the watch.
Fantastic Video. Bridge over the river Kwai has some watches in it. I do not know which, but they are very typical of that era, small and elegant.
Really?!?! FANTASTIC I adore that movie. I will have to re-watch it. Excellent,
Thank you sir.

TGV, the watch Doc Brown wears in Back to the Future is a Seiko A826. Really cool timer watch if youve never seen one.

How about Hail Caesar has a lot of vintage watches. Too new to know the names. Love your channel.
Eric Clapton as well, don't forget!
Fantastic video TGV. Please do part three soon!
Thank you Zachary,
I will indeed, stay tuned ;-)

That makes it all worth it! Your comment truly inspires me.
Thank you Harvard

Fantastic video, TGV! Really missed your cultural videos. I think it's time for me to watch more 60s films. Le Samourai has great timepieces in it as well.
Thank you Katrina, love the movie too! I will have to watch it again, I have the DVD somewhere.
Best regards,
TGV
Not a movie but SHERLOCK! Great watches on Holmes and Watson.
Well done, Tristano! I would certainly like to see some research into the other, perhaps less well known Bonds and their timepieces. Also, some of 007's supporting characters tend to wear fine watches {Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter, for instance) Do keep up the good work.
Awesome stuff! Watched "Kong" last night trying to figure all of the watches cast.
Just got into office and saw this. I should really be working lol. Cheers :)
LOL, Thank you my friend, enjoy.
Best regards,

Will there ever be a movie watches part 3? If so I'd like to nominate "Stranger than Fiction". I can't speak to the quality of the watch used but it has by far the most personality of any watch featured on film that I've ever seen. Honestly, it should have gotten third billing.
Thanks TGV. I nominate Barton Fink. There's a great close-up of an art deco Elgin that I love. I even found one on Ebay for $25!
wow, what an intro! Incredible! Truly.
TGV,
One of the best examples has to be The Edge (1997) starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin. A Seamaster chronograph and Hamilton pocket watch are used as a survival aid and plot device.
EXCELLETN choice!!!! Thank you Daniel, nice one indeed.
Best regards,

Good call, one of my faves of all time, forgot the watchy bit
I always liked seeing the root beer Rolex GMT, as worn by Clint Eastwood in Firefox. It was only a brief glimpse, but I always loved that watch.
FANTASTIC! I totally forgot about that film. The last time I saw it I was a kid, riiiiight! off to eBay :D
Best regards,
TGV
Amen, brother . . it's definitely a keeper.
By jove....Blow Up.....The Yardbirds....Papillon. Thanks for this, Tristano.
Always a Pleasure.
Thank you Fernando

You have to watch "planes trains and automoviles" comedy with Steve Martin and John Candy. Specifically when Steve Martin tries to pay for the hotel room. Maybe a Patek Philippe? Don't know the watch on the scene but is very classy.
Thoughts on the tissot prc 200 powermatic 80?
I'm not quite sure, but if i'm not mistaken there are a couple of wrist shots at some relatively old G-shock in the first Resident Evil movie...
Tristano you should watch Dr. Strange, big emphasis on the importance and sentimental value of a watch (a JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual in this case) and his drawer full of winders with watches at the start of the film is exciting for any watch geek.
greaaat video tgv haven't seen it yet but I bet I'm going to love it !
TGV,
I just came a cross a italian watch brand Filippo Loreti.( yeah a kickstarter again..) There expensive line look decent:
Sapphire glass
Japan Miyota 9100 movement
40 hour power reserve
What are youre thoughts on this brand?
Very fun video TGV! Thanks.
Thank you Daniel :D
Best regards,

Another Winner! Maybe you gave birth to the Murph and the Cooper!
If you look at blown up stills that are online in watch discussion forums, the watch Tony Montana is wearing has a crown which the Omega La Magique does not have. The movie watch body superficially resembles the OLM, and it has been suggested he was wearing the gold reverse of the OLM, but if you look carefully it is different. I don't know what it is, possibly a prop made for the film...
For me, Drive with Ryan Gosling wearing a Calatrava was what got me interested in watches.
Need to do a list of 10 must-see films for film cameras.
Don't have McQueen's watches, have the 67 Stang though.
Holly McClane was played by Bonnie Bedelia. And I don't know how but I never realized she was wearing a DateJust. Well done.
Thank you sir! :D
Best regards,

It's not a movie but in That 70's show, Donna gives Erick a digital Casio for his birthday, the one with steel bracelet, he finds it an amazing gift (who wouldn't?) and from that episode on, the watch becomes a permanent cast member.
this may have already been suggested but how about the dive watch "Hooper" wore in Jaws.
Amazing intro, Love movies, love watches, love UrbanGentry. Superb episode!!! Saludos
Thank you so much HK :D
Best regards,

Oh maybe one for the next show, The Man From Uncle, not sure if you have seen it but has great scenes around a watch, I won't spoil it for you, great music too, a must see for you really! Onwards and Upwards 😁 Saludos
ah man I was hoping you'd discuss the watch from "Drive" with Ryan Gosling. I suspect you didn't because although the watch was manufactured by Philippe Patek and modeled very closely to an existing Patek, the exact model Gosling wears in the film wasn't ever part of a Patek collection nor sold in the real world. regardless, wonderful video.
Please Talk about the time trravelling Caravelle im Midway!
North by Northwest has an incredible soundtrack as well
One of my favorite movies is Hunt for Red October.
Don't know if there are watches visible, but maybe!
Likely Vostok Amphibia, Zlatoust Vodolaz Diver, Poljot Amphibian and many more... Russian crew. USA characters.. Seiko, Timex, possibly Roolex for the officer guys..
The best watch movie for me was Sorcerer with Bruno Cremer , the scene where his wife gave him a watch looks expensive , could' not tell the name , but what a gift and what a wife ! 🤓
Patiently waiting for Part 3....
Scarface and Goldfinger and back to the future are one of my favorite movie
I thought for certain you would mention the watch scene in Pulp Fiction. That watch went through more than any other in this list! Cool subject though. Cheers.
