As Ryan Gosling Celebrates Tag Heuer’s Carrera, Here Are His Watch Highlights


From out-there designs to subtle classics.

Hollywood Handsome Guy™ Ryan Gosling has teamed up with the luxury watch brand TAG Heuer to create a short film celebrating the 60th anniversary of the iconic Carrera model.

I wouldn’t normally be too excited about a commercial. But this one does try super hard to make you forget your watching an ad, and just about pulls it off.

The story within a story is that while shooting a watch ad, Ryan Gosling realizes that he loves his Tag Heuer Carerra so much that he just won’t give it back to the prop master. Cue a slapstick car chase scene with plenty of winks and nods back to Gosling 2011 classic, Drive.

It’s pretty entertaining. You can watch the entire mini-film in the player below.
