Oscar Nominee Timothée Chalamet Wears A Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso At 90th Academy Awards

It is yet another instance of how Academy Award and branding go hand in hand.

During the 90th Academy Awards ceremony held a few hours ago in Hollywood, Timothée Chalamet wore a Reverso Tribute Duoface watch in pink gold to match his white tuxedo. Following his Golden Globes and BAFTA nominations, Timothée Chalamet was nominated for Actor in a Leading Role for Oscars 2018 thanks to his performance in “Call Me By Your Name”. This was the first Academy Award nomination for the actor who also became one of the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Actor.

“Call Me By Your Name” set in Northern Italy in the year 1983 has been receiving praise from critics and fans around the world. Timothée Chalamet plays Elio, a Jewish Italian seventeen year-old who romances his father's older assistant, played by Armie Hammer.

Significantly, Timothée Chalamet was conferred the Best Actor Award for his role at the New York Film Critics Circle Award (2017), the Breakthrough Actor prize at the Gotham Independent Film Award (2017), the Rising Star Award at Palm Springs International Film Festival (2018) and the Best Male lead at Independent Spirit Award (2018).

It is pertinent to mention here that Jaeger-LeCoultre, one of the world’s most renowned watch manufactures, has developed and produced over 1,242 calibres, ranging from ultra-thin movements to the most sophisticated Grand Complications ever since its inception in 1833. Each Jaeger-LeCoultre timepiece has a unique history. And that begins in the workshops of the Vallée de Joux, Switzerland and springs to life on the wrist of those who wear it and make it their own all over the world. Last year Jaeger-LeCoultre has showcased a new vision of the Reverso, which is celebrating its 85th birthday. Interestingly,the idea of the iconic Reverso was born in India, when a polo player asked for a watch that could resist the toughness of his favorite sport. And as far as Jaeger-LeCoultre is concerned, India holds a very important place in its hearts, said Marc de Panafieu, brand director, middle east, Jaeger-LeCoultre.

When one talks about innovation, the first watch that comes to the company’s mind is definitely the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, primarily because of the incredible emotion that is often attached to this watch by its wearers. This is thanks to the endless options of personalization that can be done to it. Having more than 180 skills under one roof gives the company the ability to transform a Reverso into one of a kind by gem setting, engraving, enameling, and even customization of the dial.
