What kind of watches do top celebrities choose? Celebrity Watch Hunting is a series of columns that introduces private moments of celebrities from around the world. This time, we'll be introducing the watch chosen by movie actor Johnny Depp!
Johnny Depp
Since his debut in the 1980s, Johnny Depp has landed numerous hit roles and become one of Hollywood's most iconic actors. His early masterpiece, Edward Scissorhands (1990), made him famous worldwide, where he brilliantly portrayed an innocent android with scissors hands. He also delivered a brilliant performance alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the human drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993), in which he played a young boy with a mentally disabled brother. His role as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series (2003-present) is another essential part of any discussion of him. His appeal extends beyond his unique roles to his wide-ranging acting abilities.
The photo we picked out this time shows him at a charity event held by hearing aid manufacturer Starkey. Look at his hand as he holds the hearing aid in the ear of an elderly gentleman. He is wearing a Cartier Ronde Louis Cartier watch layered with many other accessories, including a silver bracelet.
The Ronde Louis Cartier features a gold round case with Roman numerals, Arabic numerals within the minute track, and Breguet hands.
Johnny Depp is known to be a Cartier enthusiast. In addition to the Ronde Louis Cartier, his other watches include the Ballon Bleu, which has a crown inside the case, and the Tank à Visse 2 Time Zone, which has a square case and dual time displays. He is often seen incorporating these unique and stylish watches into his rock-inspired outfits.

Johnny Depp's career seemed to be going smoothly, but since the 2010s, his starring roles have been struggling at the box office, with his performances declining. Negative publicity, including his messy divorce from actress Amber Heard, which began in 2016, has also hurt his popularity.
However, there is one upcoming film he will be starring in that Japanese audiences are particularly interested in. It's Minamata, in which he plays Eugene Smith, an American photojournalist who investigates the Minamata pollution disease. He stars alongside other talented actors, including Minami, Sanada Hiroyuki, Asano Tadanobu, Kase Ryo, and Kunimura Jun. Playing a brave, real-life figure will surely shed new light on the mature talent of Johnny Depp, now 56 years old.
Although he may seem unconventional, his wide range of roles is only possible thanks to his unwavering talent. As seen in the photo featured this time, his bold approach to wearing a luxury watch, without worrying about scratches on the crystal or case, is very much in his nature. However, wearing it this way is also likely a way of expressing himself.
