Like it or not celebrities by default become fashion icons, while many times the brands they become associated with result from product placement their personal choices in watches tell us a lot about their taste.

But despite his partnership with TAG, Leo has worn watches from Breitling, Jaeger LeCoultre, Raymond Weil, and others.
Daniel Craig
Rolex
While everyone knows James Bond loves his watches, over the years 007 has worn Rolex, Seiko, Heuer, and since GoldenEye Omega. While Craig’s Bond has worn a version of the Omega Seamaster in every film, in real life Craig can often be seen wearing a vintage Rolex Submariner, Milgauss, Datejust, or the iconic Daytona.

Cartier
Rami Malek has been making moves in Hollywood since his first breakout hit Mr. Robot, when he accepted his first Emmy award he was wearing a Montblanc 38mm Heritage Chronometrie Automatic. But these days Rami is an ambassador for the French brand Cartier. Since he started working with Cartier he has been spotted in the Tank Americaine, Tank MC, Pasha, and iconic

But he has been spotted wearing watches by TAG Heuer, Bvlgari, IWC, Longines, and Bell & Ross. Looking at all the watches he has been spotted in he tends to wear watches with black dials and classic styling.
It isn’t shocking that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a great collection of watches which includes the Rolex Sea-Dweller, IWC Big Pilot Heritage, a Breitling Transocean Chronograph Unitime, and an Arnold & Son’s Time Pyramid. He has also been spotted in the
MTM Special Ops, and Oris Pro Diver, and he has more than a few Audemars Piguet watches in his collection. While all of these watches make it into his rotation, he is often seen in his Panerai Radiomir.

However, Dempsey has also collaborated with Porsche Design and he has at least one Rolex Daytona in his collection.
Pierce Brosnan
Another Bond, Pierce Brosnan started the Omega era in the Bond film franchise which he must have liked because he has been spotted wearing an Omega Seamaster long after his time as Bond. But it would be hard to say that the Seamaster is his go-to watch as off-screen he has been spotted in a Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Squadra Hometime, and two different watches by Speake-Marin
Dev Patel
IWC
Actor Dev Patel has been an IWC ambassador since around 2015 and has been spotted in IWC’s classic Portugieser Automatic in stainless steel with a white dial with a black alligator strap. He has also been seen in IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII
