Have you ever tried on a watch and just felt like keeping it on? Sort of like taking that Porsche 911 out for a test drive… and just drive off into the sunset. Well, I don’t know about you but I certainly have, especially at Watches and Wonder Geneva where I tried on the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 39mm for the second time. Apparently, Ryan Gosling had the same idea, although he could probably have any TAG Heuer he wants! In the new short film, The Chase for Carrera, promoting 60 years of the Carrera watch collection, Gosling plays himself as a star on the run… from the prop master who wants his TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph. Hilarity ensues.
While Gosling wears the new design for the Carrera, Vanessa Bayer, who plays the prop master, wears the uncredited TAG Heuer Carrera Date with pink dial. There is a lot that is uncredited in the short film, including plenty of sight gags. See how many you can spot.
The comic short film is produced by David Leitch’s 87 North company (John Wick and Deadpool 2, amongst others), and directed by Nash Edgerton (Mr InBetween). Leitch has a bit in The Chase for Carrera too.
