Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Minute Repeater

No Comments Jaeger-LeCoultre, Watches

Leonardo DiCaprio is no longer an unknown actor, he has done amazing movies lately and even the young generation that hasn’t seen Titanic knows him.  His first hit was Titanic, but with his latest popular movie Inception, he has cleared the idea in people’s minds that he was only a blonde boy who found love on a ship. Nowadays, Leonardo DiCaprio is not that young actor who played the poor boy on the Titanic, but a real man with extremely good taste in watches. It’s no wonder that he chose Jaeger-LeCoultre to be the brand of his latest wristwatch, since it’s one of the most high end watch brands in the world and definitely a brand that is only suitable for real gentlemen. The company is also very old, being founded in 1833, by Antoine LeCoultre in Switzerland, but it hasn’t grown in popularity until 1930 when they released a wonderful watch called Reverso, a reversible watch.

Leonardo DiCaprio is wearing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Minute Repeater from the series Master Minute Repeater Antoine LeCoultre .It is made of titanium with a mechanical manual system, a case diameter of 43.0 mm, and a Sapphire Anti-reflective Crystal display, soft high quality leather, etc . It is resistant to water to about 50m or 165 feet, however it might not be suitable for diving or extreme humidity conditions.  With its 15 day power reserve you can be sure that it will always be extremely precise. Obviously, such a great watch comes with a great price, around $100,000, but it’s also part of a limited edition collection so even if you have the money you might not be able to obtain it. But let’s not forget that Jaeger-LeCoultre is supporting a great humanitarian cause and has agreed with a partnership with UNESCO so buying one of their watches would also mean doing some good in the world.

The Face Of TAG Heuer – Leonardo DiCaprio

No Comments Tag Heuer, Watches

Leonardo DiCaprio looked his best at the Golden Globe Awards this year with a formal style. The American actor knows how to pull off a nice suit for a formal occasion and that is all he needs to look perfect; that and a nice watch. It is no surprise what watch he chose for this event as he is an active spokesperson for TAG Heuer for quite some time now but the Carrera 16 Calibre Day-Date looks flawless and is a great choice nevertheless.

He started his acting career in television commercials and then moved on to the small screen in the soap opera Santa Barbara. His first film was in 1991, Critters 3, but the first critical praise came in 1993 for his role in This Boy’s Life. The biggest fame boost in his career was for the movie Titanic in 1997 despite the other good movies that went before that. Ever since Titanic, he became unstoppable with roles in big movies such as Catch Me If You Can and The Aviator which brought him award nominations. His most recent two movies, Shutter Island and Inception, are some of the biggest commercial hits of his rich career. When he is not making a great film, he is a true activist and environmentalist.

The TAG Heuer Carrera watch is made as a tribute to the Carrera Panamericana Mexico Race; it is designed as a sports watch and is a very precise chronograph. The display is pretty big so that it can easily show the stopwatch function as well as the day and date. TAG Heuer watches are mostly brought because they are luxury timepieces and not for their incredible movement and quality. It is a very common sight to see Leonardo DiCaprio with this TAG Heuer Carrera watch and the two work great on their journey together.
