When it comes to the Cannes Film Festival, this year’s focus is undoubtedly on the return of superstar Tom Cruise after 30 years to this prestigious event, where he was also awarded the so-called “Lifetime Achievement Award” – the Palme d’Or. Stepping onto the red carpet this time, this megastar has become a handsome 59-year-old “Liang Lao Tang,” and he still looks dashing in a custom-made suit by Giorgio Armani. However, if you have paid attention to the news or photos of him walking the red carpet, you should notice the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist – after all, his clothing, watches, glasses, motorcycles, and more from “Top Gun: Maverick” have become iconic pieces that many men want to collect or imitate.
At this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Tom Cruise not only attended the awards ceremony as expected, but also premiered his latest blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick” 2022 version globally. However, unlike wearing an all-black Porsche Design watch in the movie, this superstar appeared at the premiere with another “star”: Vacheron Constantin’s Overseas Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin series.
Although this model was not launched by Vacheron Constantin at Watches & Wonders this year, the same series Skeleton model that won the “GPHG 2020” award in 2020 (Geneva Haute Horlogerie Grand Prix Best Calendar and Astronomy Watch Award), and the latest, strongest and most high-profile attitude has never been Tom Cruise’s style over the years. Therefore, he chose the most popular platinum style in recent years.
This work belongs to the brand’s most popular sports watch series, with the case and strap made of platinum, and the watch body is only 8.1mm thin. Moreover, it is a perpetual calendar style watch with a super complex movement, providing displays for date, day of the week, month, and a distinctive moon phase display at 6 o’clock, ensuring that no adjustments will be needed for the next 70 years. This kind of high-level watch, worn on Tom Cruise’s wrist, echoes the identity of this super movie star – elegant and profound.
No wonder members of the British royal family – Prince William and Duchess Kate – have to personally attend, with the latter even graciously helping Tom Cruise up the stairs. Such grace and treatment are not something ordinary people deserve.
