When cinema meets craftsmanship, stories extend beyond the screen - sometimes all the way to the wrist.
As Jacob Elordi steps into the world of Frankenstein under Guillermo del Toro’s vision, his collaboration with Cartier becomes a quiet but powerful extension of his character. Each appearance, each watch, tells a version of the same story - one that explores duality, transformation, and elegance through the subtle power of color.
At the Paris premiere, Elordi appeared in a perfectly cut suit and a Cartier Tank à Guichets - yellow gold paired with deep green leather. It’s a design that first appeared in 1928, long before red carpets and flash photography, yet still feels strikingly modern today. Revived this year at Watches and Wonders 2025, the Guichets embodies Cartier’s mastery of mystery and proportion. Its minimal dial hides more than it reveals - much like the actor himself.
A few days later in London, the Tank Louis Cartier appeared: ivy-green dial, yellow-gold case, matching strap. Calm, refined, deliberate. It was less a statement and more a continuation of rhythm: elegance made visible, never loud.
For Elordi, green isn’t just an accent to his Frankenstein role; it’s a metaphor. It speaks of renewal, balance, and individuality — values that align seamlessly with Cartier’s enduring philosophy.
As Frankenstein approaches its theatrical debut, the actor’s watch choices become part of a larger narrative - one where performance, persona, and precision are all kept perfectly in sync.
