 Milla Jovovich was born on December 17, 1975, in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic (now Ukraine). She is an actress known for her roles in films such as Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element" (1997), "Joan of Arc" (1999), and the "Resident Evil" series (2002-present). She immigrated to the United States at the age of five and is multilingual, speaking English, Russian, French, and Serbian.

 Milla Jovovich, known for her intense roles, began her career as a model in Russia at the age of 11. She has an outstanding figure, blue eyes, and a great fashion sense, so what kind of watch would she choose? 

 From this research, we found that Milla Jovovich is a watch enthusiast who owns several watches, and that she particularly likes diamond watches. We have picked out the two watches that she wears most frequently and that we can see she likes the most.

Jacob "Manhattan"

 The first watch we'll introduce is one worn by Milla Jovovich around 2011. It's a diamond watch with a large square case and a smaller square display inside. The only watch with this design is Jacob & Co.'s Manhattan.

 Based in New York, USA, Jacob & Co. was founded in 1986 by jewelry designer Jacob Arabo and is a brand that has made a name for itself with its custom jewelry. Jacob immigrated to the US from Russia and began his watch and jewelry apprenticeship as a teenager, creating numerous pieces that combine the glamour of jewelry with the craftsmanship of watches. The "Manhattan" is a unique watch with a small display unit containing an ETA quartz movement and a three-dimensional structure featuring indexes set into the gap between the case and the display unit. When this 18K white gold and diamond model was introduced in Japan around 2010, it sold for around 20 million yen.

 It was also confirmed that Milla Jovovich owned another Jacob & Co. diamond watch, the flagship "Five Time Zone" model.

 The other photo shows Milla Jovovich in 2013, just before the release of the movie "Resident Evil 6." From that year onward, she was frequently seen wearing Cartier's "Ballon Bleu de Cartier," another glittering model adorned with diamonds.

The Ballon Bleu is a watch characterized by its plump, rounded form. It was introduced in 2007, making it relatively new among Cartier watches. However, it is currently the world's best-selling collection, surpassing other classics like the Santos, Tank, and Panthère. It's also frequently featured in this series as a favorite of many celebrities. Among these, Milla Jovovich is the first to be seen wearing this all-diamond watch on a daily basis. The model she's wearing is believed to be the Ref. WJBB0044, with its 18K pink gold dial, case, and bracelet all covered in brilliant-cut diamonds. It's a watch that accentuates the cool beauty and style of the actress who wears it effortlessly.

 Milla Jovovich was also spotted wearing a rectangular diamond watch by Cartier, which appears to be a Tank.
