Ryan Gosling's Rolex & Casio Watch Collection: How He Gets It Right!

It has been absolutely donkey's years since we did a watch collection review video, so why not bring it back with something long over due? Today we take a look at a killer 3 piece collection from a movie star turned style icon. We are, of course, talking about the highly talented Ryan Gosling and his affinity for two of my favorite brands, Rolex and Casio. Beyond watches, Gosling is a style trendsetter and an excellent role model for young men today. In today’s video I discuss how and why his watch game is so on point, as well as take a look at some very iconic watches he has worn both on and off screen. We’ll walk through the entire some of his most memorable watches, from the legendary Omega Speedmaster he wore playing Neil Armstrong to a Rolex Submariner 16610 in a humorous role as a dapper womanizer, and finally a dodgy Patek in an extremely cool gangster flick. Perhaps, the coolest has to be his own personal collection which includes a very overlooked vintage Rolex Air King 6552, and one of my favorite Casios, the tremendously fun A168WA-1. Join me as I share why he is maybe the most famous, true watch enthusiast of his generation and worthy of respect from us watch fans.

No watch list is complete without a CASIO😍

[@gowen_places_5471]

I am so glad that he chooses to wear classy watches and not iced out monstrosities! Excellent video, I love these reviews!

[@rumporridge1]

Kinno Ringo don’t know about any specific market but I know a CEO of a start up in Manhattan that’s wears an iced out Rolex Day date. Not for me but obviously some people love the diamonds and whatnot.

[@kleinbottled79]

There is a part of me that can admire certain diamond pave watches. Of course I could never wear one in public, how embarrassing. Some things are better left to the ladies.

[@andreaodierno402]

Exactly: he’s multi millionaire but understated

[@captaincopconner2663]

I still love how someone who has made millions and still wears a Casio........ Very humble

[@theurbangentry]

So true! THAT is pure class if ever I saw it. Thank you Cap, Best regards, TGV

[@jamesbeaman6337]

Correction - has made millions and therefore wears a Casio. ;-)

[@JMNTN]

I own plenty of automatic and mechanical watches and I appreciate them a lot but my casio is the one I wear as a daily and I don't think I would change it for any other watch regardless of the price. Nothing beats the comfort and reliability of a simple casio.

[@pinchnsqueal]

I think you need to start doing unboxing videos of your watches using that Katana.

[@kevinjamesdawes7223]

Love the channel but you say rolex and I switch off. Utterly sick of hearing the name. I realise it's a review of a collection but that's were I am with that brand. Never innovated and just used everyone else's ideas but made them mentionably expensive. Just taking a basic date watch with a bezel and charging 8ķ does nothing for me. I would genuinely prefer a timex day date from the 70s. At least they were innovative in making a cheap hardy watches with complications. I have some huerers and my El primero and some micro brands. Paiste bubble is a favourite at the moment. Check them out.

How do you know it’s not wakizashi? Lol

The omega he wore on LaLaLand was actually the reason why I got deep into watches. Because my father had one Omega seamaster vintage just lying around(not the same as gosling’s 50’s omega) that then started my appreciation. Thanks to this man.

[@theurbangentry]

Very happy to hear, thank you for sharing that. Best regards, TGV

[@Silver-st2zq]

Great actor and nice to see him wear watches on his wrist and not over sized clocks! lol.

[@phmwu7368]

indeed no large Bling Bling just classy 36 mm beauties !

[@samjep2]

Gosling was great in "Drive" what a film..

[@2Fresh210]

Great video as always! Ryan Gosling is actually my #1 style icon. All of his outfits look really stylish and modern with a touch of classic menswear. I'm a huge fan of his Air King. Always thought it was a 5500 and I was absolutely going crazy finding one with a nice champagne dial! The Reverso is a great choice for his next one! I can also see him with an "older" chronograph like a Strela Poljot or a Seagull 1963.

[@Fenn3k]

I enjoy this format very much. It‘s a fresh alternative but still perfectly fits the content for your channel. Definitely want to see more videos like this in the future 👍🏻

[@JavierGonzalez-xg2tq]

"Kardashian Philistinism" Fabulous choice of words. Spot on caro!

[@SkilfulLeader1]

Thanks TGV, really enjoyed this! A class iconic actor sporting many iconic watches, a perfect match! 👍

[@josiahgold]

The air king is my favorite. The patina and explorer style dial. Just class and so understated.

[@robertarthur3532]

Such an exceptional investigation into Ryan Goslings style, absolutely adored it.

[@FunWithAJ]

Great topic as usual! Also, love the explorer, my #1 grail at the moment. Cheers!

[@rationalmystic5]

I'm glad u made this video. I have always noticed that Ryan has always worn classy watches . his cool grounded personality comes through in his attire and accessories. Thanks tgv. Wish you well.

[@cjtillinghast1804]

Just wanted to say love the vids. Always great to learn about timepieces.

[@marinakyriacou6525]

Great video! Ryan is a superb actor and I've been a fan since Young Hercules lol. That Air King is stunning!

Such an amazing video !! Gosling does certainly pull it off effortlessly !! All the best TGV !!

[@ryanhebda2542]

I've always respected his taste as a celebrity collector, so happy to see an extensive take of yours on his collection. Keep it up TGV.

[@KK_21]

What an intro!!! I love the decoration room.. the watch collection review is fantastic!

[@j4k3yyy]

A great video. Clearly lots of research done with your own opinions on the watches Gosling has chosen, which I always appreciate. Look forward to more of these types of video

[@Cheekybird8]

Great show! I really liked this story and the in depth information about each reference. Great stuff. Love it.

[@brightdaysaheadofUs]

I'm glad you included the watch he wore in Half Nelson!

[@desireoverpain]

I haven't been a big fan of the celebrity collection review videos, but this one was really well done. I enjoyed it!

[@MyAffordableWatchCollection]

This is one classy dude. He always seemed to me like a good sport, you know what I mean?

[@giuseppenativo2123]

And the winner is TGV. I own a '78 Air King and I just can really appreciate this nice video. Also, Gosling is a real top class actor.

[@dannemannen18]

Great taste in watches and in chosing roles. I love "Drive" and "Blade Runner 2049"

[@british1389]

His Omega in La La Land started my plunge into watch obsession

[@jalitvin2719]

Это не его личные часы . Это часы которые ему дали поносить в кино . Реклама марки Ролекс . Не будь дурачком !

[@franqueee]

11:20 Oh Gosling would pull off a reverso so well. Fits his character perfectly

[@first264]

Come on Hodinkee, do a "Talking watches with Ryan Gosling"

I’ve been waiting for this video!

[@cmanSF]

Love the video. I’ve got the same Air King as Ryan and and I must say… it makes me feel like a star! Thanks for the detailed info!

[@a-mac272]

He should have worn a vintage Heuer Carrera in Drive. Imagine seeing him activate a timeless vintage chronograph whilst timing the robbery. Would have been that much more of an iconic scene.

[@philip1359]

the filmmakers deliberately avoided going the typical race watch route to fit the character's backstory better, it's a heirloom piece given to him by his father which totally complimented the character and the narrative better imo.

[@michaelnorin]

It would’ve been such a cliché.

[@TwistyThreeFifty]

@@philip1359 is correct. In the book, he given a straight cut throat razor by his estranged father.

[@ATDStudios]

Only God Forgives is such a wonderful and challenging film. Thanks for giving it some spotlight! Gotta love Gosling's watch taste! A classic is a classic no matter the price point.

[@michaelmunoz779]

I love casio vintage watches . My favorite is the data bank. And g shock squares as well

[@gateway1739]

Absolutely brilliant video!! Thank you.

[@renaud_]

This man is very close to my definition of classy! And you’re right a chronograph would be perfect. Another cool video 😎

[@mrg1911]

Great vide and content....just outstanding lately....one after another! I love Ryan Gosling and his movies.....one of the few younger actors I enjoy. His Airking is cool! A gold Reverso would be nice. Possibly a Patek Perpetual Calendar with salmon dial. Thanks again!

Real nice video TGV. Ryan definitely gets it.

[@publiusscipio6020]

Love the Casio, but a Milgauss would be a nice alternative for when he’s around the recording equipment, as well.

[@Hagledesperado]

A perhaps overlooked point is that a digital watch with no moving parts is completely silent, which is a valued feature of all classes of equipment in any recording studio.

[@mso008]

This video is great. More videos anaylising the collections of other classy celebrities would be great

[@jnrjnr77]

Thanks for the video Tristano, he’s a super cool guy 😎 love that he wears a Casio, I’m wearing my F-91W as I type!

very interesting video.great work. THANKS!

[@francoisvandensteene5444]

Again a very cool video. It's good to see someone (and a man) with fame and taste wearing smaller if not right down small watches! He definitely knows how to dress and how to pair watch with outfit. Not a watch snob either and that in itself is a sign of great taste.

[@lefroy1]

Some valid points there TGV and for me at least, a new insight into the man. He might've even gone up in my estimation as a result.

[@KristianDowling]

Fantastic video. Well done

Probably my favourite watch related story. He now became a watch ambassador. You could do a follow up.

[@WondersofWatchdom]

An excellent, well-spoken and well-edited review. But honestly, I'm more impressed that you're displaying your katana with the blade up, the way it's supposed to be! Most people get that wrong.

[@GhettoCabbage]

Your videos are very inspirational, my friend. Hope you're well!

[@rf4790]

Great video. Thanks! Ryan grew up just a couple hours from where I live. First Man was his best, by far, in my opinion. Cheers.

[@77cjam]

Nice collection. Said it before and I will say it again if I ever but a Rolex it will be an Airking. Literally goes with any style. Smaller watches can be a bit of a shock at first, but you soon get used to them. Great video thank you TGV 👍

[@theurbangentry]

VERY true. I never forget going from a 42mm to a 34mm for the first time! It took a few weeks. Thank you Chris, excellent comment as always. Best regards, TGV

[@osgazer]

Not only his taste in size of watches but also his sunglasses are tastefully done not on the huge size, he's definitely a trend setter

[@snowpuppy77]

That was fun. Really shows the respect for Casio. I would like to see him wear the Casio Men's A500WA-1ACF.

[@joachimgauckler8555]

@@theurbangentry Hey, i wanted to thank you for introducing me to watches and the hobby of collecting these tiny liddle treasures. I am from Germany and went to school there to become a mechanical engineering technician. For my graduation i wanted to buy a watch and went right on the internet to see what brands exist and read the tests about them. Your channel popped up and you reviewed the brands i was interested in. After quite a while i decided to go with a Junghans Max Bill Automatic, since i come from an engineering background i wanted a mechanical watch to celebrate my graduation, also the fact that Junghans is a respected german company made me want to buy one. This watch means alot to me, its the embodiment of my technical knowhow and my new job as an project engineer. I connect my success to it and my drive to achive my goal. BUT i never wanted to brag with a watch, it should mean something to me and for the trained eye of other people it should be a statment for simplistic design and beauty. I hope you enjoyed my story, for me it was important to tell you that. Your videos inspired me to dive head first into this hobby. Best regards from Germany I realy enjoy watching your videos, you have a new follower. This was a repost, i want just want you to know my story, wealth and material belongings are one think, inspiring others is more achivemend then any of those listed things.

[@peterzwegat5380]

Hey T - Great Video as always - I like that Kind of Video Style when you stop the documentary and talk from the „regie chair“ 😃 I would recommend the reverso as well - perhaps dualface - moonphase is a great thought! Or a dapper gmt/ worldtime watch I do not really like chronos - so i can see why he has not one

[@franqueee]

This is so cool. If you see these watches (air king, bubble back, a168 etc.) on a random table, you would know its a collection of one particular person. He has his own taste and prefer to stick to it rather than going for watches that are in the trend.

[@bogrot69]

My father passed away in 2014 and i recently came across his watch in a box of keepsakes I was given. It's a simple, inexpensive quartz piece. He was never one for luxury only practicality. It's only 32mm and having an 8 1/4 inch wrist, the smallest I would ever go is 39mm. I've been wearing it since I found it and I've grown accustomed to the size. I can see now why some people prefer wearing smaller watches. The right piece can look very classy.

[@pengu470]

Finally ! Someone mentioned his collection.

[@steveroberts619]

I think he should try out the DH 1970 40 or 44mm grey diver with a NATO strap. It's a great look and a very good watch in my opinion. Great video partner.
