Passion for the Finest Work
Director Chad Stahelski has long led the world of intense stunt choreography, heading the stunt and action production company "87eleven" in the film industry. His exceptional talent is evident in the fast-paced action sequences of "John Wick."
Carl F. Bucherer, resonating with Stahelski's passion, was involved in "John Wick" in various ways, including his directorial debut.
In both the first and second installments, Keanu Reeves as John Wick wears a Manero AutoDate with a silver dial and black alligator strap. Its classic style, stripped of all non-essentials, accompanied him through his actions with minimal functionality. In the second film, Common, a musician playing an assassin opposing Keanu, wears a Patravi ScubaTec. Its presence was evident even during intense action scenes, peeking out from the cuffs of his suit.
Carl F. Bucherer watches play a significant role in the film, serving as a crucial element in shaping the characters.
The model Keanu actually wore during filming. Small scratches on the case attest to the intensity of the action.
Beyond the watches worn by the actors, we can reveal that Carl F. Bucherer makes an appearance in an unexpected scene. During a car chase in New York, a large billboard can be spotted among the city's buildings.
Unwavering Support as a Friend
The passion, professionalism, and drive for innovation that the director and actors poured into the film deeply resonate with Carl F. Bucherer, who supports "John Wick" as a "friend." Carl F. Bucherer sponsored the premiere event held in Los Angeles in January in the US, as well as the premiere event held in Japan ahead of its July general release. Empathizing with their passion for filmmaking, Carl F. Bucherer will undoubtedly continue to offer its wholehearted support.
