Celebrity sightings with exorbitantly priced, rare replica watches are not uncommon. However, what truly catches attention is when a celebrity dons a watch that doesn't break the bank - one that us regular folks could actually consider purchasing. In this case, the celebrity in the spotlight is none other than Idris Elba, and the watch adorning his wrist is the Brew Metric. The esteemed British actor recently made an appearance on the Chunkz & Filly Show on YouTube to discuss his involvement in a campaign aimed at raising awareness about and preventing knife crime. Amidst the jovial banter about football shared between hosts and guests, Elba's sleek steel wrist companion stole the show. The Brew Metric takes inspiration from the 70s, boasting an integrated bracelet and a chronograph function. Powered by the VK68 Meca-Quartz movement, it seamlessly merges battery operation with retro aesthetics, vibrant bursts of color, and impeccable proportions (measuring 36mm x 41.5mm). (The Meca-Quartz technology offers semi-sweep seconds, a feature appreciated by watch enthusiasts for its hybrid feel.) Available in various color schemes, Elba's choice of the Retro Dial version undoubtedly stands out as one of our top picks. Behind Brew Watches stands Jonathan Ferrer, an industrious young designer from New Jersey with an impressive lineage in the realm of jewelry design (his father at Tiffany & Co. and his grandfather at Cartier). Despite this heritage, Ferrer charted his own path, venturing into the creation of compelling yet affordable watches. Brew Watches was born in 2015 through a grassroots approach via a successful Kickstarter campaign. The brand's name pays homage to espresso culture, where achieving the perfect pull is revered as an art form. (A glance at the watch dials reveals a special demarcation at 25-35 seconds, reflecting this precision.) The concept of measuring an espresso pull through a watch draws inspiration from the "telephone timer," a scale found on vintage chronographs, purportedly used to gauge long-distance telephone calls. Returning to Idris Elba and his choice of the Metric, Elba's wrist has seen its fair share of luxury replica watches over the years - Rolex, IWC, Cartier, to name a few. Yet, as the face of Gucci's more accessible watch line, he's no stranger to down-to-earth models. Witnessing him embrace such an affordable piece that still satisfies the discerning tastes of watch enthusiasts is indeed a delight and a replica rolex significant endorsement for a microbrand like Brew. In contrast, football legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic recently made waves with his choice of wristwear at a match between Udinese Calcio and AC Milan. Sporting the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked "Cactus Jack," a collaboration with Travis Scott, Ibrahimovic flaunted a watch worth $200,000. With its intricate design inspired by Scott's handwriting, this watch epitomizes haute horlogerie, featuring a perpetual calendar complication, an openworked dial, and a case crafted from brown ceramic - a perfect match for one of the most dominant strikers of his era. Dior's show during Paris Fashion Week, Antoine Arnault, vice-chairman of Christian Dior and scion of the esteemed Arnault family, showcased a vintage treasure: the Rolex Cosmograph Daytona reference 6263. This hand-wound chronograph, housed in a 37.5mm stainless steel case and produced from the early 1970s to 1987, boasts screw-down pushers and the renowned Valjoux 727 movement.
