I know when I’d reach for a Reverso to dress a character’s wrist, even though I’m no prop master. It would be when they had a scene in a suit. It would be at a point in their character trajectory where they were at highest confidence when their outward style is tapping into the traditional, the iconic, and the timeless. And also when the brand of badass they’re seeking to project is more brains than brawn. You suspect this was exactly the thought process of the art directors and prop masters that did just that with these kings of the screen. 
Leo. Damn, Leo! Has the boy add some unique idea into this outfit or what, pairing not only a dres’s replica watch and band to his formal attire, but also dial color to his tie. His self-satisfied look says it all.
Ah, Pierce. He may have bombed as Bond but the man knows how to work black tie. The key is to have an accessory in the mix that pops on the monochrome backdrop, and few accessories can compete with a gold dress watch with a white face and black leather strap. The other fact that it’s an unusual shape also catches attention. This is a perfect power play.
Jon Hamm. The most powerful pairing is just in this list by so far. There were many fake tags Heuer watches in Mad Men over the years. Everything from the Tudor, Rolex, and replica Jaeger LeCoultre are really lesser-known such as a Hamilton Electric. But none could step up to the peerless aesthetics of the show quite like Don Draper’s Reverso.
Adrien Brody. None of what Adrien’s wearing is red-carpet appropriate and he looks almost apologetic, as you would be, but you know what? I actually love this dressed-down, slightly sloppy, and bordering on the casual look from The Pianist.
Clive Owen. With a look that is at the same time velvety and villainous, Owen demonstrates that the Reverso is not just a quaint dres’ watch but a serious piece of kit to get an F-You attitude across when required. Love it.
Michael Douglas. Probably the weakest species on this list, Douglas is closer to the stereotype of the Reverso as a multimillionaire’s daily dres’s watch that elsewhere here is being disrupted. He’s rich, he’s dressed conservatively, and he has some seriously unintentional bro-flow happening with his hair. Don’t be like Michael when you’re wearing your Reverso is probably the key tip here.
