The Watches of Kieran Culkin | The Watch Club by SwissWatchExpo

Kieran Culkin has long proven that he’s more than his famous last name. The former child actor, who got his start in Home Alone alongside brother Macaulay, is now a four-time Golden Globe nominee and Critics’ Choice awardee.

Best known for his portrayal of Roman Roy in HBO’s Succession, Kieran’s real-world style is a bit of a departure from the cocky screen character. Mixing dignified looks and indie-band edge with classic timepieces, Kieran’s style is quietly confident. Check out the watches of Kieran Culkin:

Rolex Datejust

For his role as Roman Roy on Succession, Kieran wears a Rolex Datejust 41 with a silver dial. Roman, while he seems to be the boldest and rowdiest character in the show, opts for a relatively basic timepiece that works well with a wide range of outfits.

The watch comes in stainless steel and features a smooth polished bezel and an Oyster bracelet. These are complemented by a silver dial with lume-filled baton hands, symbolizing that Kieran’s character is less deviant than his fronting personality.

In real life, Kieran sports the eye-catching steel Rolex Datejust with a deep blue Jubilee dial. Signifying luxury and decadence, the Rolex Jubilee dial, also known as the anniversary dial, features a repetitive ‘ROLEX’ pattern engraved on its surface. It was introduced in 1985 to celebrate the Datejust collection’s 40th anniversary and the Swiss brand’s 80th anniversary. Photos from Esquire on Twitter and Succession on Instagram

Cartier Tank Must

We’ve also seen Kieran with a Cartier Tank Must when he attended the 2022 SAG Awards. One of the most popular members of the Cartier catalog, this watch is an homage to the 1980s Les Must de Cartier, which made the Tank more affordable and accessible to a wider audience.

The model was a surprisingly understated choice for the star-studded event. It comes in a stainless steel case with all of Cartier’s hallmark elements, and an automatic movement at its core. Its black leather strap matches well with the actor’s black tuxedo, while the painted Roman numerals and blued steel hands give an interesting flair to the timeless design.

Patek Philippe Calatrava

For his shoot with Vanity Fair, Kieran wore the quintessential dress watch – the Patek Philippe Calatrava. This model is well-loved for its wearable proportions, minimalist design, and understated elegance. The actor paired the timepiece with an impressive array of suits and coats in neutral tones.

This version of the Calatrava is characterized by its yellow gold construction and Clous de Paris hobnail bezel. The crisp white dial makes the thin black Roman numerals and hands pop, while the black leather strap makes the watch ideal for wearing under the cuff. Photo from Vanity Fair on Twitter

“I’ll totally take personal happiness over success, absolutely,” Kieran Culkin told VF in 2018. “If I’m miserable, then what’s the f—king point?” Revisit the #Succession star's feature from the #VFArchive: https://t.co/9vlxBQNKeE pic.twitter.com/kLcMeRk5Ag

IWC Pilot Automatic 36

Another watch that is constantly on Kieran’s wrist these days is the IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic with a sunburst slate-colored dial. An essential part of the brand’s line-up, this timepiece has neat lines and a casual-to-dress design.

Despite its modest 36mm case and steel construction, the Pilot’s Watch Automatic comes with a soft-iron inner case to shield from strong magnetic fields and a glass that is secured against displacement caused by variations in air pressure.

Chopard L.U.C

Kieran may not have won a Golden Globe yet, but he always dresses like a winner, especially on the red carpet. For the 2020 Golden Globes, he complimented his dapper outfit with the Chopard L.U.C XP Skeletec — one of the world’s thinnest self-winding skeleton timepieces.

Crafted entirely in-house, this model boasts a white gold case with 1.50-carats of trapeze-cut diamonds on the bezel. The white gold hands and hour markers stand out against the gray outer rim, while the handcrafted skeleton dial showcases the L.U.C 96.17-S movement, which offers a generous 65-hour power reserve thanks to two co-axial barrels.
