 Have you seen the movie "Green Book," which is currently in theaters? Mahershala Ali, who will be introduced this time, plays Dr. Donald Shirley, a brilliant black pianist who lives proudly in America, where racial discrimination is still prevalent. For this film, he won his second Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.


 The photo of him holding the Oscar statuette was taken when he won his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the film "Moonlight" in 2017. Take a look at his wrist. You can see the IWC Da Vinci Chronograph "Laureus Sport for Good".

89361

The Da Vinci Chronograph "Laureus Sport for Good" is an IWC charity watch equipped with the caliber 89361. When you turn the watch over, the case back is engraved with the work of a boy who won the top prize in a children's painting contest.

IWC "Da Vinci Chronograph 'Laureus Sport for Good'". Automatic (Cal. 89361). 38 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve approximately 68 hours. Stainless steel (diameter 42mm). Water resistant to 3 bar. Limited to 1500 pieces.

 Since 2006, IWC has released a special limited edition model every year, donating a portion of the proceeds to support children in disadvantaged backgrounds. The model worn by Mahershala Ali was released in 2017, the same year he won his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Perhaps he came across this charity piece while looking for a watch to commemorate a milestone in his life, and something struck a chord with him when he chose it. This is my theory.
