Ryan Gosling Wears Not One But Three Vintage TAG Heuer Carreras In ‘Barbie’

Over the weekend, the internet was abuzz as perhaps the most highly-anticipated movie of the year officially premiered in theaters. And while the red (but factually pink) carpets provided great entertainment in terms of watch spotting; the excitement continued on the screen. TAG Heuer’s longtime friend and brand ambassador, Ryan Gosling, who played the main Ken in ‘Barbie,’ was spotted wearing three exceptional and entirely unexpected vintage TAG Heuer timepieces, marking yet another milestone in their flourishing partnership.

Before the movie officially premiered, Gosling was seen sporting the Candy Pink Carrera that launched in tandem with the 60th anniversary of the Carrera, which seems the more obvious choice. Therefore, when the film started rolling, you began to notice not one but three gold vintage Carreras on his wrist. Among the standout pieces is the original reference 1158 CHN from 1971, a remarkable watch worn by esteemed motorsport drivers. Enhanced with a solid 18-karat gold bracelet, its iconic Milanese-style design adds to its allure.

Another noteworthy selection is the reference 110.515 from 1974, featuring a distinct barrel-shaped case with a sunray-brushed finish and an intricately engraved Côte de Genève dial, perfectly complementing the film’s captivating atmosphere.

Completing the trio is the timeless Carrera reference 2448 NT, drawing inspiration from the original 1963 Carrera model. Its faceted lugs and iconic design elements exude classic elegance, harmonizing seamlessly with Gosling’s captivating on-screen presence in ‘Barbie.’

These watches add humor to the storyline as the characters transition from the enchanting Barbie world to reality. Gosling’s character, beaming with pride, presents the timepieces to Barbie, showcasing his newfound possession of both time and style. With a playful twist, Gosling wears all three watches simultaneously, injecting an unexpected element into the movie.

This may be bold, but TAG Heuer’s collaboration with Gosling in ‘Barbie’ surpassed our expectations even more than the film itself. Further positioning TAG Heuer as an integral brand in the world of cinema and timepieces, the three timepieces on Gosling ultimately revealed the intimate relationship in which they have fostered. “We are very proud to accompany Gosling for this iconic new production and to continue to support him on his artistic endeavors. Gosling is an amazing actor, incredibly creative and committed in each project he does, and our partnership evolves with every new project Gosling embarks on with TAG Heuer,” notes Frédéric Arnault, CEO of TAG Heuer.
