134 WATCHES & TIMEPIECES
It may be a Prop Master in the film who is desperately attempting to get the Carrera back , but in truth TAG Heuer ’ s most iconic chronograph is anything but a prop : it is the film ’ s headline star … along with TAG Heuer ’ s brand ambassador , of course .
“ Okay , now tilt the watch to the light !” shouts Leitch , playing the director , at one point .
The iteration of the Carrera that Gosling is desperate to keep hold of is the new TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph . Topped with a “ glassbox ”, a sapphire crystal dome that flows seamlessly over the tachymeter scale that runs around the dial edge and into the case , it comes in a stunning signature blue dial on a blue calfskin leather strap . An icon never looked so modern – and no wonder Gosling is not about to give it up easily . This is one timepiece worth putting your foot down for – literally . Bayer ’ s Prop Master , meanwhile , is wearing the new TAG Heuer Carrera 36mm in pink .
It won ’ t be a one off for that iconic double-act – Gosling and his Carrera – as they will also be seen co-starring in director Leitch ’ s next major feature , The Fall Guy . While the TAG Heuer brand ambassador can be seen wearing the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph with signature blue dial here , in The Fall Guy , Gosling will be wearing the sportier black and silver “ reverse panda ” dial of the same edition .
It represents a world-first for a luxury brand , as Gosling will continue to wear different iterations of TAG Heuer Carreras in multiple iconic Hollywood roles . Last year , the actor could be seen wearing the minimalist TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands as the unflappable Agent Six in the Netflix spy thriller The Gray Man . Proof , as if proof were needed , the Carrera is truly a global icon in its own right .
