Another day, another A-lister stepping off one of those fancy taxi boats in Venice straight into work mode. Up next is Liverpool lad done great, Stephen Graham<\/a>, who\u2019s in town to drum up awards buzz for Bunker, the psychological drama he stars in alongside Hollywood\u2019s coolest couple, Javier Bardem and Pen\u00e9lope Cruz, and Paul Dano.<\/p>\n

If Graham was a professional footballer (he wishes), you\u2019d say he\u2019s currently in the form of his life. Adolescence<\/a> was his Ballon d\u2019Or<\/a> win, having spent a decent chunk of his career being the outstanding support act in everything from Boardwalk Empire and Peaky Blinders to Snatch (\u201cDags? Oh, dogs, yeah I like dogs\u201d) and of course This is England.<\/p>\n

When you edge your way up the metaphorical ladder, sometimes little things, tastes or wishes, change. I\u2019m not saying Stephen Graham has had a glow up in the past 24 months, but lately we\u2019ve certainly been called on to wax lyrical<\/a> about more than just his acting chops. Aside from his Scouse accent and wife Hannah always being by his side though, one other thing about Graham has remained consistent; his kettle. Zoom in on all the gongs he\u2019s won at every awards ceremony going and you\u2019ll see he\u2019s been wearing his trusty old white-dialled Rolex Daytona<\/a>. And by today\u2019s Daytona standards, it really is trusty and old; his model is likely from circa 2010. Depending on who you talk to, that\u2019s practically vintage.<\/p>\n

When Graham touched down in Venice, I clocked the same watch on his wrist. Business as usual; until a quick outfit change and hang on, what\u2019s that on his wrist?<\/p>\n

Answer; one of Louis Vuitton\u2019s shiny new Escale pieces in rose gold, which boasts one of the silkiest, satiny dials out there right now. I was not expecting that. The man clearly has an eye for a white-dialled beauty though, I will say that much.<\/p>\n

Back in 2024, Louis Vuitton made some big changes to its watchmaking division, paring back a lot of its collections to focus on either time-only dress pieces like Graham\u2019s new grail, or more haute horology. All of these were powered by LV\u2019s own movements made at its La Fabrique du Temps HQ and a man called Michel Navas<\/a> has largely been responsible for the upturn in LV\u2019s street cred when it comes to watches. He had a hand in Patek\u2019s Nautilus<\/a> and Franck Muller\u2019s Crazy Hours so it\u2019s not surprising to see him work his magic at Louis Vuitton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stephen Graham certainly approves of Navas\u2019s vibe\u2026 because hours later he\u2019s back on another red carpet wearing another of LV\u2019s watches \u2013\u00a0this time one of the updated Tambour<\/a> pieces in steel with a blue dial. We\u2019ve gotta hand it to you, Stephen, once again you\u2019ve completely taken us by surprise. It\u2019s the sign of a great actor reaching his peak, and this time he has the horological goods to match too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another day, another A-lister stepping off one of those fancy taxi boats in Venice straight into work mode.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":76449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12704],"tags":[46517,2773,4955,12990],"class_list":["post-76448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-louis-vuitton","tag-celebrity-watches","tag-louis-vuitton","tag-lvmh","tag-watches"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
