A Closer Look At Russell Crowe's (Previously Secret) TikTok Watch Account

Russell Crowe is a true watch guy. For the informed, this is by no means news, as he’s had a reputation as a serious collector for many years now, notably with his 2018 Sotheby’s auction, The Art of Divorce, which featured 29 pieces from his personal collection. But recently, the Aussie A-lister has begun sharing candid (and often watch-focused) videos on his secret TikTok account, @igp366.

The account focuses on sharing updates from his life, but importantly for us, his watches. So far, Crowe has shared only a handful of videos, speaking candidly about his affinity for watches. It’s clear that he follows his heart and is very attuned to new releases and what the community is excited about, both in the mainstream and the micro.

Although we still don’t have a comprehensive tour of the collection, “that would take quite some time as I’m a little obsessed,” Crowe admits, the videos do offer a look at pieces from his current summer rotation and a few extras.

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 126518LN

Starting off extremely strong, Crowe owns perhaps one of the punchiest-looking non-off-catalogue Daytona models to come out in some time. Some refer to it as the “Tiffany Daytona”, fellow tennis fans call it the “Alcaraz” as it’s the watch of choice for world number one Carlos Alcaraz. Whichever way you slice it, the turquoise lacquer dial Daytona is a showstopper. Released in 2025, this yellow gold, Oysterflex, and blue-lacquer fusion was quite a surprising release from the Coronet, thanks to its striking use of colour that evokes the likes of the ‘Daytona Beach’ models from 2002.

“What I love is if you wear this with a suit, whenever it sort of sneaks out from under the suit sleeve, it always draws people’s eye,” Crowe says in one of his videos, a sentiment he demonstrated at Wimbledon in 2025.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Geographic

Sticking with 2025 models, Jaeger-LeCoultre had an incredibly strong year of releases at Watches & Wonders last year, and Crowe clearly agreed, snagging a Reverso Tribute Geographic. The first dial position not only has those deadly sharp dart markers and dauphine hands, but also a grande date display. Once the midcase is flipped over, the worldtimer complication is revealed. However, Crowe openly admits that the watch is rarely on the worldtimer side.

“If I’ve been having people over for dinner or going out, a lot of the time I reach for this one. It has that beautiful complication on the back, but I never think to flip it over because I just love the face.”

Otsuka Lotec N.6 and No.7.5

“This brand made me break one of my fundamental rules: I never buy aftermarket.” For Crowe, the brand in question was Otsuka Lotec, a Japanese-based brand adored within the world of indies for its industrially inspired gauge-like styling that displays time in unconventional ways.

It’s a brand that leans into its steampunk-like design touches, with the No.6 being a double retrograde hours and minutes, while the No.7.5 is a jump hour inspired by a film camera. These are true inside baseball picks, and although Crowe shares he finds the OEM straps a little too uncomfortable at the moment, a quick double strap change, and these can, and probably should, be on his wrist right away.

Omega Seamaster Diver – 60 Years of James Bond

The number of choices out there for sports watches seemingly grows by the day, but for Crowe, the 60th anniversary of the Bond Seamaster is the pick when playing tennis. The reason? ‘I wanted my tennis doubles partner and I to have the physiological edge of wearing matching watches’.

Released in 2022, this edition of the Seamaster features both the OG wave pattern on the dial and the blue from the 1995 GoldenEye edition. There’s also some No Time To Die influence with the updated handset and the inclusion of the Milanese mesh bracelet, one which Crowe says he rediscovered the comfort of this style of mesh because of this watch.

Maurice de Mauriac Rallymaster III

As tennis seems to be a recurring theme in Crowe’s current rotation, his next watch is a real insider pick. The Rallymaster III from Maurice de Mauriac is a watch that takes its inspiration not just from lawn tennis but also from Wimbledon, with its green dial, golden touches, and a tennis net motif central to the dial design. 

Maurice de Mauriac is based in Zurich and has rightfully gained traction in recent years. In September 2025, Crowe found himself in Switzerland for the Zurich Film Festival and swung by the brand’s retail space to check it out and pick up a few watches. Limited to only 100 pieces, this Rallymaster III pickup tells us a lot about Crowe and his diverse taste across the full spectrum of brands.

Patek Philippe Nautilus 5712R & 1A

Capable of playing both the high and the low, an extra bonus watch Crowe is yet to talk about in detail, but we’ve seen some quick flashes of it on his wrist in videos—his 5712. He has shown both the rose gold example (5712R) with its brown dial and the steel 1A. Its asymmetrical complication layout makes it arguably one of the leading Nautilus models that remain in the lineup.

Rolex 1908 in Platinum

Crowe’s affection for the Coronet extends beyond just sports models and reaches the newer names in the collection, including this 1908. Rendered in platinum, with its icy-blue guilloché dial and open caseback, the 1908 is a watch you seldom see in the wild, but you know whoever is wearing it has an interesting story to tell. 

For Crowe, the appeal is simple: “The watch that has really got to me this year, especially if I’m going out for a special occasion, has been the 1908. I just absolutely love this watch.”

Tudor Black Bay Chrono Flamingo Blue

It’s clear Crowe has a major crush on blue dials, as the Tudor of choice for his current rotation is the Flamingo Blue Black Bay Chrono. Confirmed to be his go-to daily, Crowe states he first saw the watch in a magazine before heading to Chateau d’Ivoire in Montreal to acquire after the watch.

“It sits great on the wrist, has a little bit of personality to it, and the combo, particularly with the jubilee (bracelet), I love a lot.”

William Wood Triumph Chronograph Bronze Jubilee

Next, Crowe shares his love for the very successful British watch brand William Wood in a dedicated three-minute video. William Wood is named after the founder’s (Jonny Garrett) grandfather, who was a firefighter in the UK, and this concept has shaped the brand, with decommissioned firefighting equipment used throughout the watches. In the video, Crowe shares the Triumph Chronograph Bronze Jubilee, a limited-edition watch made in bronze and released in 2022 to celebrate 70 years of Queen Elizabeth II.

Crowe’s passion for the brand extends past his personal collection, though, as he selected the Triumph Heat watch for his role as Sammy in an upcoming 2026 movie titled Beast. The watch was selected due to its bright red colour scheme, and Crowe shares, “I wore it as if it was a gift from his daughter to somehow brighten up her old man’s life”.

Rolex Sky-Dweller ref. 336935

“I put this one into semi-retirement a few years ago as it does scream for attention”, Crowe says while holding up his Sky-Dweller 336935.

All 42mm of its Everrose case, with the oyster bracelet, and that lovely sunburst blue dial (did we mention he likes blue?) makes it undoubtedly a watch you can’t help but notice, but as the man says himself, “There’s something about that colour, it really is a gorgeous watch”.

U-Boat and Giuliano Mazzuoli

Beyond the headline names, Crowe has also spoken about pieces from more design-led brands such as Giuliano Mazzuoli and U-Boat. These names lean heavily into bold case architecture, unconventional proportions, and a distinctly Italian sense of flair. Sure, they sit at the opposite end of the spectrum to something like the platinum 1908 or a rose gold Nautilus, but that contrast is precisely the point.

Crowe’s collection isn’t linear or overly curated for perception; instead, it’s layered, instinctive, and reflective of someone with a curious interest. Ultimately, what makes Crowe compelling as a collector isn’t simply the rarity of the watches he owns, but the range. From heavyweight Swiss icons to left-field independent houses, his choices feel personal rather than performative.

Watch collections can feel strategically assembled sometimes, but Crowe’s comes across as something far more authentic, the watch box of someone who simply loves watches, full stop.
