Dwayne Johnson Debuts Exquisite Timepieces at Movie Premiere Event
In the heart of Venice, the red carpet premiere of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's latest film, The Smashing Machine, marked the beginning of awards season. Johnson, who stars as MMA pioneer Mark Kerr in the biopic, made a striking entrance in a dusky double-breasted suit, paired with a rose gold Chopard Alpine Eagle watch featuring a navy dial.
The Chopard Alpine Eagle, first introduced in 1980, is Chopard's signature sport watch, sharing qualities with other luxury-sport watches like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and IWC Ingenieur. Johnson's choice of this timepiece on the red carpet signifies his serious intentions for his role during awards season.
The film The Smashing Machine is receiving rave reviews out of the Venice Film Festival, with Johnson's performance being widely praised. The premiere received a 15-minute standing ovation for Johnson, a testament to his captivating portrayal of Kerr.
Johnson's interest in watch collecting is well-known, and during his time in Venice, he was spotted wearing a variety of watch brands, including Panerai, Rolex, TAG Heuer, IWC, and, of course, Chopard. In addition to the rose gold Alpine Eagle, Johnson was also seen wearing a steel Alpine Eagle during his gondola ride in Venice, paired with a knit Prada polo and white trousers.
The director of The Smashing Machine is Benny Safdie, known for his gritty and intense films. The film follows Kerr's rise and fall in the world of MMA, providing a raw and authentic portrayal of the sport.
Johnson's slimmed-down look on the red carpet did not diminish his size, being equivalent to three Internet Boyfriends of the Week combined. His impressive wristwear, including the Chopard Alpine Eagles, further emphasised his strong and commanding presence.
As awards season continues, Johnson's choice of watches will undoubtedly be as impressive as his performances. With The Smashing Machine already receiving critical acclaim, it seems that Johnson's career continues to soar.
