Tom Hardy's Venom watch and other famous wrists of the flicks, as seen in First Man, The Meg and ...

This week we're going to look at watches in movies, primarily as a back door way of focusing on the acting talents of one Tom Hardy There is a link to watches here and for once it's relevant, in that Hardy is wearing a Bremont in the film, and insisted on doing so, and not for product placement reasons, apparently The piece Hardy wears is the U-2/51-JET, a brooding black-case, black-dial and black-strap number inspired by aviation watches from the 1940s and 50s, which suggests Hardy liked all the black, but the timepiece is certainly a looker, with its distinctive blue hands and generous luminescence on the numerals.

The watch itself is a beautiful dress watch that fits perfectly with the Lamborghini-driving character of Dr Stephen Strange A high-end timepiece commands a high-end price tag and despite its steel case the watch will set you back HK$257,000 An honour­able mention goes to Li Bingbing's massive watch in The Meg.

This simply brilliant film about the first lunar landing has been a magnet for watch nerds because of the number of Omega's in it. . Source
