Hercule Poirot
The super detective Hercule Poirot is just as famous for its exploits in the resolution of crimes as for its extravagant dress sense. The Belgian detective is one of the most famous creations of Agatha Christie and his style is immediately recognizable. His 3-room costumes are always finished with a gusset watch linked to a chain, slipped inside the Pocket of his vest . The way Poirot has his watch is a nod to the inimitable style of the 1920s, combining good taste with eccentricity! The watch itself is part of the character of Poirot; It is precise, meticulous and always on time. Watch one of the first television programs with David Suchet or the recent remake of the crime of the Orient-Express' with Kenneth Branagh and you will see the detective constantly check his watch or go up when he thinks of the cogs of his Last affair.
Poirot is often seen with a Full Hunter Silver watch and we think he would love the pocket watch Major London in Poli chrome. This part can be delivered complete with a silver T chain. You may not be solving cases like Poirot - but we provide you with a perfect detective look!
Steve McQueen
one of our favorite style icons of all time; Nothing beats the effortless freshness of Steve McQueen. We go back to the Thomas Crown affair, the 1968 criminal plot which diverted McQueen from its usual rebel roles. In his portrait of Thomas Crown, McQueen went from a biker jacket to an elegant 3 -piece suit, while playing the self -taught millionaire. At a time when the male style was very restrictive, McQueen enhanced the look of his character with a superb golden pocket watch Patek Philippe. Although it actually wears three different watches during the film, this elegant watch attached to a chain in or is the lasting image for many men who seek to imitate Their hero!
If we had to try to inspire ourselves with the style of McQueen, our first choice would be the magnificent Mechanical pocket watch gold color . Its quality finish and engraving on the front protects a magnificent dial with Roman numerals around an observation window.
sherlock Holmes
Sherlock is not without knowing the Gousset watches . In a recent film, we see him using a silver pocket watch with Roman numeral numerals and a second dial separated to check the time In his last adventure resolving a crime.
Mycroft, Sherlock's older brother, is just as much a full -fledged style icon. Played in the BBC series by Mark Gatiss, it is always impeccably dressed and knows the importance of making a good impression and the concern for detail. Mycroft favors the style of Gousset watch with silver full hunter housing like our Silverpunk and his is always connected to his vest by a attachment chain classic.
This magnificent Gousset watch color silver is almost identical to the model worn in the TV series. The complete hunter's case surrounds a white dial with Roman numerals black with an opening that allows you to see the skeleton of the watch In action.
