While some might consider it excessive, having a flashy watch is not a bad thing at all. Having your time be lined up with what time an event starts or ends can help you to keep track of things more easily. For professional athletes, their watches are a form of branding that sets them apart from the rest.
Lando Norris, the driver for McLaren in the Formula One racing series this season, has always been very fashion conscious. He frequently shares pictures and videos on social media showing him wearing expensive clothes and jewelry. His followers respond by praising his fashionable lifestyle and asking how he was able to afford such nice accessories.
Most people cannot spend large amounts of money on frivolous items so it is important to balance spending money on fashion with settings and milestones where you can display your new looks.
Star Wars
In the new Disney Infinity 3.0 game, you get to play as either Rey or Finn in the beginning of the level. You also have the option to be Kylo Ren or Captain Phasma at the end!
What watch does Lando wear in his opening scene? A Rolex Datejust with Roman Numeral XII!
He is wearing this because he is celebrating his success with The Rise Of Skywalker and the movie was released earlier this year. The Roman numeral XII symbolizes the anniversary of an event which happened two years ago.
Lando’s opening sequence is also shown from his perspective so it is clear that he is very happy about something. He is dressed casually in jeans and a long-sleeve shirt so it is not exactly known what he got himself into yet.
However, we can tell that he is probably giving away some money since he has enough cash to buy himself a small bag full of sweets like any professional party thrower would.
Fast and the Furious
In the early stages of his professional career, Volkswagen Racing Cup driver Lando Norris wore an expensive watch that got him lots of compliments. His fans loved it because they knew what time it was!
But now he doesn’t wear that watch anymore. Because he can’t be bothered to take care of it.
He forgot to wind it up once, which is why it keeps stopping at 12 o’clock. And every time he tries to fix it, it just gets harder and harder until one day, it won’t start working at all.
So instead of getting praise for his watch, people say how bad he is as a person because he can’t be bothered to keep up with basic things like clocks and time.
You may have heard about this before? If you haven’t then make sure to look up “The Clock Theory” next time you wake up late for work.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
When we first meet him, in his second season as an F1 driver, he is wearing what can only be described as very hipster jewelry. He has a black leather watch with white faces that says ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ across the top and he wears it with pride.
He gets many questions about this flashy timepiece but few people know how he came by it. It was given to him by none other than Lewis Hamilton himself!
It seems like Mercedes team-mate and close friend of Lando’t would drop some major bomb information every now and then. Apparently one morning after training Lando went out for breakfast with Hamilton and his personal trainer before heading back into the car. While waiting outside the restaurant, Landore asked if there was anything he could get for them and their answer was always the same; food and drinks! So he bought some coffee and water and took those up to the two men in the car.
When he got back to the hotel, he found both men had left without saying goodbye so he followed them out to make sure they were okay. They gave him the thumbs up so he returned to the room thinking everything was fine. A couple hours later though, he received a call from someone asking where Hamilton was and why he wasn’t there yet.
The next day Lando learned just how much of an asset having friends within the motorsport industry is.
Pulp Fiction
When he’s not filming or traveling, what does one-time McLaren F1 driver and current Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton call home? A house in London! He lives there with his girlfriend, actress and singer Dani Daniels.
Dani is best known for her work as Vannah O’Brien on The Backbone of Truth and Faith, which she starred from 2014 to 2016. Since then, she has appeared in several other TV shows and films including Ocean’s 8, Battle Born, Teen Wolf, and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
She met Hamilton while shooting an episode of The Backbone of Truth and Faith in 2017. They started dating that same year and got married in early 2019.
The couple enjoys spending time together at their home in England and watching movies. Among their favorites include action flicks like Die Hard, science fiction classics like Blade Runner, romantic comedies like Love Story and Notting Hill, and comedy/drama films such as Good Will Hunting and Boondock Saints.
They also watch sports, mostly soccer (football) since Hamilton grew up supporting Manchester United. His favorite team is now Liverpool because he lived near where the club was located when he was younger.
The Godfather
As we mentioned earlier, one of the biggest criticisms people have about Landy is his watch collection. Some say that he doesn’t dress well or professionally enough due to his choice in watches. Others claim that his watches are too expensive or flashy compared to what most people own.
However, many don’t realize it until much later when they see him wearing his watch that he owns. Many think that he just always carries an Apple Watch with him because that’s what fashionable people seem to be owning at the moment.
But why do you need a smartwatch?
A smartwatch isn’t necessarily more stylish than having a normal timepiece, but some people feel that they are. They can also prove helpful in giving you quick access to all your gadgets and apps while keeping your hands free!
There are several different types of smartwatches out there so whatever style you like is totally fine! We would only tell you not to spend a lot of money on one unless you know how to take good care of them and research any potential problems before buying one.
Landry has been seen sporting both Timex and Seiko products so let us show you some pictures of his favorite ones and which one is more affordable. After reading our article, pick if you want to start investing in smartwatches or if you already have a regular watch that will work just as well.
Back to the Future
In the 1985 movie, Marty travels back in time from the 1980s to meet his younger self for the first time. He arrives at his house wearing what we now know as an Apple watch.
He tries on some casual clothes before showing off his new flashy wristwatch. Many people refer to this as “wearing a Timex” because of the brand name. But I think it is more appropriate to call it a Forerunner since it was one of the earliest true smart watches!
A forerunner only has a small screen so you have to press down hard on the device to use it. The Timex had a larger face which allowed for easier viewing without having to push down very much. This made using the watch less painful than the earlier models.
It is not totally clear if Marty actually owned this watch or just tried on several similar ones while buying lunch for himself.
Sex and the City
While some may consider his style to be expensive, it is definitely not! When he does dress up for an event or night out, it is always in very fashionable pieces that he layers up with. He typically purchases them from online shopping sites such as Amazon or eBay.
He has also done fashion collaborations with brands such as Adidas and Nike where they designed new outfits or products that he can use for inspiration.
His favorite clothing brands include Stussy, VFiles, Jack & Jones, and of course, Ansel. All of these companies have strong logos and lovable styles which make them loved by people all over the world!
What makes him pick up a new piece is how he styled it or whether it fits into one of his lifestyle choices. For example, if he is watching a movie or football game, then finding pants that are tight enough to show off your feet is important. If he is running around or doing sports, having workout gear that is durable is essential.
If he is traveling for work or school, having smart clothes to match his normal wardrobe is helpful so he does not need to buy extra things while he is away.
