Adam Sandler’s UK Breitling Chronomat Replica Watches In ‘Uncut Gems’

If it’s a feel-good movie you’re after, look elsewhere. Uncut Gems (2019), directed by the Safdie Brothers, is named for a crew of scruffy characters and a literal uncut gem sourced from Ethiopia. It’s the property of Howard Ratner (played by Adam Sandler), a jewelry-store owner in New York’s Diamond District – a fast-talking hustler and unreconstructed sports gambler. Ratner has a strong fake watch game. The only problem is, he can’t seem to keep any of them on his wrist.

Ratner’s last watch is a large Swiss movement copy Breitling Chronomat with gilt numbering on the bezel and the signature Chronomat crown. The watch makes a brief but important appearance on screen as the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers behind a strong Kevin Garnett performance and a truly intense couple of minutes. As Ratner unlocks the door to his shop [02:05:50], the camera focuses on his wrist, and his Breitling. You’ll have to watch the movie to see what happens next.

Uncut Gems is directed by Josh and Benny Safdie, with props by Catherine Miller, and score by Daniel Lopatin. It’s available to stream on Netflix and to rent on Amazon or iTunes. You can buy the Audemars Royal Oak Chronograph from Audemars Piguet, a Rolex Day-Date (sans iced-out bracelet and bezel) from Rolex, and the new steel bracelet best replica Breitling Chronomat watches from Breitling.

The great importance of Breitling in the fifties
Breitling was one of the most prolific watch brands in the 1950s. But I have to be honest here, while we decided to start this series in the 1950s, Breitling released some of its most iconic models starting in the 1940s. Mike wrote a great article about vintage black leather strap top UK fake Breitling in conversation with two vintage clone Breitling experts @watchfred and @rene_jk. When you read it, you’ll quickly find out that the brand has shaped the way we look at watch design today heavily. And it started doing so in the 1940s with the Premier and the Chronomat. Especially when it comes to chronographs, Breitling is the brand that shaped what they look like today.
And over these last couple of years, Swiss movement copy Breitling watches has been picking up on that by releasing some great vintage re-issues. It has to be said that Breitling CEO Georges Kern and his team have been working with Fred Mandelbaum (watchfred) to make sure the re-issues are historically spot-on. It’s why they are praised by both vintage collectors and the wider watch buying audience. And you have to give the brand great credit for that. It has created a renewed relevance for the brand and its incredible history.
