This week, two big movies have taken the world by storm: Barbie and Oppenheimer, affectionately nicknamed Barbenheimer by some. Last weekend, I watched Oppenheimer, and despite its length, I found it to be great! Then, seeing many people wearing pink in the city and hearing my friends talk about the movie, I didn't want to miss out on the fun. So, yesterday, I decided to watch Barbie with my friends.
To be honest, before watching the movie, I didn't really know what to expect. However, I knew it was going to be a romantic comedy and had heard fantastic reviews about it. I even read that 'Barbie' surpassed 'Oppenheimer' at the box office with a record $155 million debut. And yeah, I have to say that I really liked the movie! It's an easy watch; you don't have to think too much about the plot, and it's funny.

One of the main characters in Barbie is Ryan Gosling, and we all know he is a great actor. He's also a TAG Heuer ambassador and often wears watches in his movies, like The Gray Man. So when I heard that he played Ken in Barbie, I knew he would be sporting a TAG Heuer watch. In fact, Ryan Gosling Wears Three Gold Watches In Barbie at the same time.
The watches that Ryan Gosling wears as Ken in Barbie are the TAG Heuer Carrera 1158CHN, TAG Heuer Carrera 110.515, and TAG Heuer Carrera 2448NT. All of them are in yellow gold. It's interesting to note that these watches are different from the ones he wore while promoting the movie.

If you're familiar with the Barbie doll, you probably know about her male counterpart, Ken. In most cases, Ken is portrayed as being half-shirtless with unbuttoned shirts. True to this depiction, in the movie, Ken is also seen in a similar style. There's a particular scene where he appears shirtless, wearing a fur coat and a bandana on his head, showcasing his blond hair. It's in this moment that you get a glimpse of him sporting the three gold watches.
As I was watching the movie, I couldn't help but be amazed by the sight of Ken wearing three different watches at the same time. It was a surprising and amusing detail to see. However, I must admit that these watches suit Ken's character perfectly, especially with his light blond hair. It added a touch of extravagance and charm to his overall look – a humorous and stylish choice for the character.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find Ken's pictures online where we can see his watches, If only I could take some photos in the cinema LOL. But basically, the picture below is actually the part where you can see that Ryan Gosling Wears Three Gold Watches In Barbie.

Ryan Gosling Wears Three Gold Watches In Barbie
TAG Heuer Carrera 1158CHN holds a special place as Jack Heuer's favorite watch and features the brand's first in-house automatic chronograph movement, the caliber 11. With strong connections to Formula 1 in the 1970s, this model is highly sought-after, particularly in its gold on Milanese-style bracelet configuration.
I'm not sure regarding the price, but Hodinkee sells the watch on a black leather strap for $25,500.
Ken's reference 110.515 is a rare gem dating back to 1974. This model stands out with its barrel-shaped case featuring a striking sunray-brushed finish and an intricately engraved Côte de Genève dial.
The wavy textured finishing on the dial, resembling finely finished movements, adds a lovely dimension, with three columns going in different directions.
Retail price: $3,900.
The Heuer Carrera 2448NT, first introduced in 1963, boasts a well-balanced design with a stylish gold and black color contrast. Its angled lugs and narrow bezel maximize dial space, while the pushers and crown remain convenient for the wearer. This example exudes a luxurious feel with its gold-plated case and sought-after matte black dial featuring three registers (a silver dial version is also available). The gold-tone indexes and handset beautifully contrast against the black dial, adding a touch of elegance to this classic sport model.
Retail price: $6,300
