John David Washington

　"TENET," directed by Christopher Nolan, began screening in Japan on September 18, 2020, and has already attracted a cumulative audience of over one million people in less than a month. This is a new time suspense film from Nolan, who has previously tackled the theme of "time" in films such as "Memento," "Inception," and "Interstellar."

　There are rumors that Nolan, an avid fan of the 007 film series, is casting the lead role in this film as a new generation of James Bond in Hollywood. The man chosen for the role is African-American actor John David Washington, who will be introduced here.

　John David Washington was born in Los Angeles in 1984. Before turning to acting at the age of 30, he had a successful career as a professional American football player. After appearing in a football-themed TV drama and a film directed by Spike Lee, he was cast in the lead role of "Tenet." His father is Denzel Washington, a famous Hollywood actor.

　This time, we've chosen a photo of John David taken in 2018 at the time of the release of the aforementioned Spike Lee film "BlacKkKlansman," and we'll take a close-up look at the watch he's wearing. The watch in the photo is the Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Twin Counter Date, which was released by Montblanc in 17.

The Heritage Chronometry collection was launched in 15 as a tribute to Minerva, a watchmaker that Montblanc acquired in 2007. Its greatest feature is that it follows the design codes of the Pythagoras watch, which Minerva created in 1948. These include clean Arabic numerals, faceted applied indexes, distinctive sword-shaped hands, a slim case, a smooth bezel, and curved lugs. Its design gives a clean and masculine impression.

　A Pythagoras watch is a watch equipped with caliber 47 or 48, whose movement is designed based on the golden ratio (1:1.618).

　John David's casual attire is often seen pairing a T-shirt or white shirt with a simple bottom, as seen in the photo we picked out this time. The beautiful finish of the Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Twin Counter Date stands out against this simple outfit.
