Actor Jason Momoa is best known to audiences worldwide for playing the superhero Aquaman in the DC universe films Aquaman?and Justice League, and the character of Khal Drogo in the first season of HBO's Game of Thrones. So in terms of watches, what could fit the wrist of this big guy…?Momoa is over 6 feet tall (1.82m) and weighs approximately 100 kilograms, so in terms of watches, you would expect him to be wearing XXL timepieces such as an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, a Hublot Big Bang or a 44mm Panerai Luminor But you'd be wrong.Lilakoi Moon and Jason Momoa attend the cocktail at Fendi Couture Fall Winter 2019/2020 on July 4, 2019 in Rome, Italy.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater Rose Gold // Introducing, Price
While the time-only automatic model, the shockingly thin tourbillon automatic and the recently presented chronograph have been at centre stage in the Octo Finissimo collection, we shouldn’t forget one of the earliest watches presented in this saga of world records… The Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Minute Repeater. First introduced in matte titanium, and followed by a bold carbon edition, a new version has been presented at the LVMH Watch Week, a luxurious and warm rose gold model. Quick look.We might repeat ourselves, but Bvlgari has all the attributes of a legitimate high-end, highly respectable watchmaker. Don’t be fooled by its history in jewellery and fashion-oriented watches. Since the acquisition of Daniel Roth and Gerald Genta, the brand has engaged in a long-term strategy to become one of the most important watchmakers on the scene – without forgetting its innate Italian design codes. The way to achieve this seemed simple (on paper), creating some of the thinn

Introducing Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono 18k Ethical Gold (Price)
The Alpine Eagle collection by Chopard is the brand's take on the luxury sports watch. When the first Alpine Eagle model appeared in 2019, many had forgotten that it had a predecessor known as the St. Moritz, a sporty-chic watch of the 1980s with an elaborate-shaped bezel that captured the overstated flamboyance of the decade. Although the ornate bezel of the St. Moritz was not retained, the watch was revisited from head to toe, retaining some features of the original like the eight screws on the bezel and the bracelet with its ingot-shaped central link. Appearing in a time-and-date model with certain design features alluding to the alpine eagle, the sporty Chopard Alpine Eagle XL Chrono version followed in 2020. This month, Chopard unveils another two-tone model in 18k ethical rose gold and ceramised titanium. In a clear departure from the earlier two-tone chronograph, the latest model swaps the integrated bracelet for a matte black calfskin strap, marking the first series-produced ti
