Did TAG Heuer & Ryan Gosling Get It Wrong With Their Carrera Watch In The Gray Man Movie?

Netflix's recent movie The Gray Man has been a big success thus far, but would it have been possible without TAG Heuer watches? How did this collaboration come about and why? Is their newest brand ambassador Ryan Gosling an asset or a detriment to the brand? Why was he chosen, and how does the movie compare to the already established espionage movie franchises like James Bond, Jack Ryan, Jason Bourne, and Mission Impossible? In this video I analyze the watch worn by Ryan Gosling as Sierra Six, the film's titular character-the TAG Heuer Carrera automatic date (ref. WBN2111.FC6505). I take a look at its positives and negatives, design, appearances within the film, and ultimately ask: is this watch a good match for the movie?

In a world were many love to hate, it’s refreshing to see a video were Tag Heuer is very well presented and respected. I’ve always liked their timepieces, especially the 41mm Carrera Day Date with blue dial. Thanks for another outstanding video!!

@theurbangentry 2 года назад

Thank you Roberto, you are very kind. I could not agree more, too much hate in this world today, often from those who have never experienced the watch in question, in person, or have ever made a film a tenth as good, even if this was obviously not a masterpiece. Best regards, TGV

@Ivan__77 2 года назад

No hate, but huge disappointment. To me it feels like someone took one of the best and most amazing watch brands of all time and turned it into a dull and boring fashion brand, while all they need to do is what they did with Monaco, reissue amazing watches from the 70s and change nothing.

@sinesaii Год назад

I almost bought the gray dial one for $1750. I regret not pulling the trigger. I hate all this “in house” bs. I prefer the old 2824 models.

@Murtagh653 Месяц назад

@@sinesaii in house snobs are the most hilarious bunch. yes, you get the privilege of paying several thousand dollars more as well as having to get it serviced at the AD and likely sent back to Switzerland from whichever country you live in, for a several month wait until it's finally ready and sent back to you, and you're sitting there hoping that nothing has gone wrong at any point in the journey because it will be another several month wait, all because it's an in house movement which the local watchmakers don't know how to / don't want to work on. the best part is that there is functionally no difference until you start spending tens of thousands for the tippy top tier, which are still far less accurate than quartz watches and far more delicate and temperamental.

@thenotanclan 2 года назад

It’s a shame that Tag is largely ignored by watch enthusiasts - ok so they are on the pricey side but they’re very well made and nicely finished - personally the Carrera 3 hand 39mm is a grail watch for me and has been for decades - nice to see one of the 3 watch channels with the biggest followings take a look at a Tag :)

@borassictime918 2 года назад

For many enthusiasts the issue with TAG Heuer is not so much to do with the watches, but with the ‘TAG’ bit. Pre-TAG watches and re-releases without ‘TAG’ on the dial are much admired among enthusiasts. Heuer is the ‘better’ name, the part with the long history and post-war motor racing heritage. But then I presume the vast majority of TAG Heuer buyers are not core watch enthusiasts and talk about their “TAGs”, so the branding is the branding.

@voivod6871 2 года назад

I think the opposite is true compered to Omega and Breitling some watch snobs maybe think they are a slightly less premium brand because they have quite a few watches that cost £1500 or less.

@jimjudy2489 2 года назад

Mark, check out Certina's DS-4 Silver Dial Day Date, C022.430.16.031.00 Very similar look with ETA 2836-2 movement

@thenotanclan 2 года назад

@@jimjudy2489 I’m familiar with that watch - it’s very nice and Certina is underrated as a brand - however, the same could be said for the Tissot Gemtleman Powermatic 80 - a lot of watch for the money - I bought one as a substitute for the Tag (at around 1/4 the price) but you know what they say about substitutes - they never really scratch the itch do they?

@TheCdM1981 2 года назад

The reason why Tag is looked down upon by watch enthusiasts is because of 2 reasons. 1 they’re sold in dept stores like Macys and they feel it cheapens the brand. Even though Rolex was sold in Costco until a few years ago. 2. They primarily use ETA or Selitta movements instead of in house and feel they over charge for watches with some cheaper movements.

@patyellowbear9928 8 месяцев назад

I've bought this Carrera 39mm blue dial last friday. It is my first Swiss automatic and first "luxury watch" I'm a big fan of motorsport and I was interested in wrist watches since I was a kid. Im watching you for few years now and I learned a lot from your channel. Thank You so much.

As an Italian, every time TGV speaks in my language I shout a “grandissimo!”🇮🇹✌️ Love the watch, but I wish they made it in a 36mm. That gorgeous dial and bracelet combination would have been such a cool classic understated capolavoro.

@alexm2113 2 года назад

While I too like the look of the chronograph version better myself, I really have to respect the fact they went with the three-hander. It's so rare these days to see a movie character wearing a classic looking watch and I think they did a perfect job with this casting.

@THX-C 2 года назад

I thought the same thing.

@unixnerd23 2 года назад

That Carrera has the same problem as my lovely 39mm Certina DS-4 small seconds. 39mm is fine, but the thin bezel makes the dial look oversize and makes the watch feel much larger than it really is. I prefer a smaller watch, 38mm so I should be fine with a 39. But when the dial is so large it feels like going up a scale.

@theurbangentry 2 года назад

Great observation, I could not figure it out but you hit the nail on the head. Thank you, spot on! Best regards, TGV

@WatchMeEDC 2 года назад

To me it’s an odd choice for a character like “6” but I’m glad to see Tag Heuer getting some love. My first mechanical automatic “real” watch was a Tag Professional 2000 so I’ll always have a soft spot for them. I don’t think any mechanical watch would have survived the first seven minutes of the movie honestly… but hey Hollywood 😉

@nickphiggins Месяц назад

Me too! And I regret ever selling it, loads of watches since then, first Omega then Rolex but the Tag 2000 will always be my favourite I think. Literally just ordered the 41mm blue dial today and can’t wait for it to arrive!

@Chrissepisje 2 года назад

I'll have a look at the movie, but I found myself not caring at all about that TAG. It's just.... well. Boring, really. And executed in a way that Citizen does better, not only with a The Citizen Chronomaster for the same money, but even with the silver leaf automatic they released at less than 1000 dollars. There we get some excitement for our money. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against TAG Heuer, but they've done the Carrera better, amongst others with the Cal 6 small seconds version in silver, blue and red. That was an engaging watch.

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR 2 года назад

Right ! The wife and I have movie night sorted this weekend! For me I feel Tag has done too much damage on their image / marketing / smart watch etc for me to ever buy a new one. The vintage Chronos are beautiful . This watch , despite being on the wrist of Goslin won’t sell well will it?!?! The competition at the price is crazy. Think it will take them another decade coming out with classic non formula 1 racing divers for me to ever consider one T.

@77cjam 2 года назад

I really like the look of the watch (albeit it looks surprisingly similar to my original dressy Seiko 5 I have on a leather strap, with the exception of the date). I've not seen the movie but I do agree from what you said about it, it seems like the chronograph would perhaps have been a bit of a better suited choice. However as I always say where what you want when you want it's your wrist! Great video about the watch and good mini review of the movie. Much appreciated as always sir 👍

@darrenbuckley7852 Год назад

just purchased the Tag carrera with the black dial, stunning looking everyday watch and not too flash.

@Xandil 2 года назад

I received a Carrera Chronograph with the blue dial and steel bracelet as a gift from my wife in March. It has the Heuer 02 movement. I love the watch and think it's a good value given the quality and beauty. I know of the hate TAG receives from the watch collectors but I don't care about status among watch snobs. I have watches ranging from the simple (but great) Seiko 5 automatic to a Kermit Submariner, but love wearing the TAG Chronograph. The blue dial and complications are just fun to admire during the day.

@thegentcase7360 2 года назад

Had a crush on it in the the duty free in Taiwan 3 years ago - almost bought it because of it’s pleasing timeless design - today I’d rather go for the vintage “Rolex Airking” for almost the same money … little bit too massive (especially the case height) for my actual taste - but still a watch I like in general

@the.dirty.pigeon 2 года назад

I might be way off here but Tag Heuer seems to be settling into being a brand that makes Rolex-meets-Omega watches at a lower price. This watch looks like a blend of the Aqua Terra and Datejust or OP. The new Aquaracer Professional looks like a blend of the Seamaster and a Submariner. Their Chronographs have a Daytona-meets-Speedmaster feel.

I walked past a watch dealer in the city centre the other day and had a look at all the brands offerings in the window as usual. And I’ve got to say none of the current Tags look impressive especially for the cost and when compared to other brands with the same price range. They are all large and cheap looking in my opinion. Good watches I know this, but not for me.

@zozangzozang4073 2 года назад

And TAG Heuer has been doing a lot right again in recent years :-) Especially with the return to history and the classic models, TAG Heuer is stepping out of the shadow of the almighty Monaco. I find the Carrera line in particular very appealing and classy. Of course you are right, there is strong competition with Tudor and the BB36, although I almost consider the Carrera to be the better watch for all occasions. Best regards!

@@theurbangentry Hello TGV and my lovely Hugo 🙂 "Professional Watches" means watches on which you can recognize the exact time from any angle and with every light in the fraction of a second. No reflections, matte, no "bling bling", no jewelry. A perfect instrument to which one professes one's life. Made of almost indestructible material and with an extremely accurate mechanics. Maybe not pretty, but uncompromising. Form followes function. Many of my colleagues wearing the Breitling Hurricane 24H every day. Because they simply want the best instrument on their wrist. One of them won a bet a few weeks ago. "His Hurricane 5 minutes as an ice hockey puck in a training game". You couldn't see a scratch after that and she runs perfectly.

To be honest I liked it more when Gosling wore the Speedy in "First Man". But personal preferences aside, although a dressy tool watch like the Carrera may be an obvious choice as a perfect allrounder I'm not sure if the genre is special enough for a movie protagonist. I once spotted a Citizen Promaster Sky in a blurry photo a friend showed me, but I'm not sure if I could have identified the TAG while watching the movie.

@terryshrk 2 года назад

Gosling was playing a NASA astronaut in that film and therefore the moon watch was an uncalculated and thusly uninspiring necessity as 9 out of 10 astronauts, especially from THAT original Mercury/Apollo particular era,.wouldve been wearing one!

This movie is just bad. A waste of money.

@theurbangentry 2 года назад

I can totally understand why you would say that. Having said that, if I could make a movie even half as good with such talent, I would die a prouder man. Making movies is such insanely difficult and complex work. I have only ever directed corporate work (outside of my rudimentary RU-vid hobby, it was so challenging and so much hard work, I can't imagine a project of the scale to The Gray man. Thank you Miguel. Best regards, TGV

@@theurbangentry i call it "easy cinema". There is a lot of that nowadays. There is no need for a lot of money to do a good film if you have a good storie to tell 👌🙏 But i did like the Heur :) Cheers from Portugal

Love these watches in movies videos! Gosling is always great fun to see what he chooses to wear in his films and personal life (both wardrobe and watches)

For how much they travelled around the globe I wouldve liked if he wore a GMT instead. Makes it a little more believable how they could be on location and on time all the time. The Autavia GMT wouldve been perfect, GMT complication, 100m water resist cos spoiler alert he gets wet alot, and highly legible indices. The only thing is I liked the 39mm size for the character his character was simple and straightforward, the Carrera he wore did embody that but practicality wise the Autavia GMT takes the cake for me.

Nice video, TGV. I, too, was underwhelmed by the movie. Lots of thrilling action sequences to cover up the lack of an interesting plot and fleshing-out of the story's characters. I didn't care for any of them. And Sierra Six was just an undestructable, arse-kicking deity, who never lost his wits, even when stabbed multiple times. YAAAWN!!

Over $2700!? Just a few years ago I bought the black dial version for under $2k! And yes, 38mm would have been "the bee's knees" as far as size.

If I ever got a Tag, It'd be the Aquaracer professional 300 in blue. It's a gorgeous looking piece, and more refined than its predecessors imho.

Not quite in the same genre for either movies or watches as The Gray Man/Tag Heuer, but Paterson by Jim Jarmusch does feature a Casio Easy Reader MTP1130A-7B, I believe. This watch is the antithesis of the Casio aesthetic which may have been why it was chosen. It is also complements Adam Driver's character, a former war vet who drives a bus and writes poetry.
