Tom Holland’s watch collection: Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier and more

You cannot escape Tom Holland this summer. Not that you would want to, of course; he just happens to be starring in two of the year’s biggest releases – returning as web-slinger-at-large in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and taking on the role of Telemachus in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

Holland has built a reputation as one of Hollywood’s more grounded and likeable leading men (who could forget him gamely throwing himself into Rihanna’s “Umbrella” on Lip Sync Battle?). Despite that everyman image, he is also a bona fide A-lister with the means – and the taste – to build an enviable watch collection. Over the years, he has consistently caught the attention of collectors, not because he gravitates towards the rarest or most expensive pieces, but because his choices are fun, distinctive and just a little quirky. They feel personal, reflecting his own style rather than whatever happens to be the watch world’s latest obsession.

That impression is only reinforced by the fact that he actually wears them, whether he is on a dinner date with his wife, Zendaya, running errands, or suiting up for an awards show. The sort of collection that suggests someone who buys watches for the joy they bring, rather than simply as a display of wealth. Here are some of Tom Holland’s best timepieces.
