Watches of Kevin O' Leary from the Shark Tank

Kevin O' Leary is a Canadian investor and venture capitalist who stars on the hit TV show Shark Tank and previously Dragons Den Canada.

I have noticed he has quite a nice collection from different brands.

The first watch featured is a Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Dual Time GMT

Watches in Fim & Television: The Family 2013

This is the start of what I will make into a regular series.

As a person interested in watches its always exciting to catch a glimpse of a watch in a film or on television.  If its a clear camera shot of the watch its quite easy to identify or if its design is very distinctive.  Otherwise it can be an enjoyable hunt to found out.

To the best of my knowledge the first instance of a watch mentioned in detail in a film was the Fugitive Kid starring Marlon Brandon in 1959.  He went into full detail about the Rolex triple date moonphase on his wrist.  See the video below

For my first post, this was an unexpected surprise.  I was a flight and had already seen all the movies that I was interested in seeing.  So I decided to watch The Family starring Robert De Niro.  There is a scene where De Niro checks the time on his watch for a device he has planted (Won't give the plot away!).  He lifts back his sleeve and low and behold there is a vintage Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox  on his wrist!  I had to rewind the part because I was so suprised!  A highlight in a rather stale film!
