The art of fine watchmaking and filmmaking are linked by skills that are strikingly similar. Artistry, technical prowess, craftsmanship, talent, patience, and attention to details are essential to succeeding in both arts.<\/p>\n

Watches then are bound to be of interest to filmmakers, who appreciate beauty and the process of fine craftsmanship. Some of America\u2019s best directors love watches and have chosen to make it a part of their work, on both sides of the screen.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what they wear on their wrists:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Martin Scorsese\u00a0has had an illustrious 50-year career in cinema, with films widely considered as classics \u2013 such as\u00a0Taxi Driver<\/em>\u00a0(1976) and\u00a0The Departed<\/em>\u00a0(2006). He has featured watches in some of his movies; and finally\u00a0combined both interests in 2008, when he became a mentor for the Rolex Mentor and Prot\u00e9g\u00e9 Arts Initiative. He\u2019s an ambassador for the Rolex Day-Date and is often seen with his\u00a0Rolex Submariner<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.

Sofia Coppola\u00a0is as much a style icon as she is an acclaimed director. Known for her female-focused and offbeat\u00a0The Virgin Suicides<\/em>\u00a0(1999) and\u00a0Lost In Translation<\/em>\u00a0(2003), her filmmaking style has an almost romantic quality that is also evident in her day-to-day style. She wears a\u00a0Cartier Panthere<\/a>;<\/strong><\/em> and also worked on a film to promote the reintroduction of the iconic 80\u2019s watch.\u00a0Photo from Cartier on Twitter<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
