Watches

Carl F. Bucherer Manero AutoDate

Worn by Charlize Theron as Lorraine Broughton. Theron's diamond-set Manero AutoDate; Carl F. Bucherer watches practically co-star in the film. Montres de Luxe independently corroborates the identification, noting the placement follows director David Leitch's earlier use of the brand in the John Wick films. (Montres de Luxe) Watches of Espionage names the Manero AutoDate on Theron, adds that she "also wears a ladies' model from the brand", and treats Carl F. Bucherer's presence as likely paid placement.

Carl F. Bucherer Manero CentralChrono

Worn by Sam Hargrave as James Gascoigne. The CentralChrono conceals the list of double agents everyone in Berlin is killing for. Watches of Espionage explains the plot role: the list of double agents is on microfilm concealed inside the Manero CentralChrono, which it compares to the concealment watches the KGB used in the Cold War while noting that real concealment devices were nondescript rather than Swiss luxury watches. (Watches of Espionage) On Forumamontres on 25 September 2026, Lud'O posted two captures of the Carl F. Bucherer at the centre of the plot and pointed to a continuity error: the story concerns one watch, yet one capture shows a bracelet chronograph with a date window and Automatic on the dial and the other a silver dial marked Chronograph with a tachymeter scale and no date window in view; lolocar added that the brand was also placed in the John Wick films.
