The premier of the third installment of the John Wick film series, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum was held in New York City on May 9, 2019, with a number of celebrities in attendance. Chad Stahelski directs this American neo-noir action thriller film starring Keanu Reeves. Carl F. Bucherer CEO Sascha Moeri attended the ‘Time for the Big Screen‘ presented by Carl F. Bucherer to celebrate the premiere. After featuring in the first two episodes about contract killer and car fan John Wick, the Lucerne manufacturer’s timepieces once again show the time of day in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, this time on the wrists of Laurence Fishburne, Halle Berry, and Keanu Reeves.
Keanu Reeves sports the Manero Auto Date. In the third part of the series, retirement remains a distant dream for former contract killer John Wick. And no wonder, as a 14-million-dollar contract has been taken out on his life. But even if he cannot trust anyone else, he can always rely on his Manero Auto Date, a timeless classic model with its white dial and black leather strap is inspired by the designs of the 1960s – the same decade that produced John Wick’s beloved Ford Mustang. The three-hand model with date display draws the beholder’s attention to what really matters in the stainless steel case with a diameter of 38 millimeters, and the watch is always ready for action thanks to its reliable automatic caliber. What is more, the 42-hour power reserve means that superstar Keanu Reeves aka John Wick could take it off for a while without any problems – not that he has that much time to rest
Halle Berry wears the Manero Peripheral
Halle Berry’s character Sofia combines femininity with ruthless action. Given the actress’s intensive train- ing for the role, it is no wonder that the Manero Peripheral is so wonderfully suited to her. The elegant timepiece with 60 diamonds on the bezel is a masterpiece of feminine details and powerful mechanics. The striking stainless steel case with a diameter of 40 millimeters conceals the automatic CFB A2050 manufac- ture caliber, which is equipped with a peripheral rotor – an unmistakable reference to the craftsmanship and innovation of the watchmakers at Carl F. Bucherer. Furthermore, the small-seconds subdial and date display on the finely shimmering, cognac brown dial of natural mother-of-pearl guarantee absolute clarity, even when the going gets tough.
