Adrien Brody wears a Panerai Luminor

Bloom is the reluctant one. In Rian Johnson's 2008 caper The Brothers Bloom, Adrien Brody plays the younger of two con-man brothers, the one who has spent his whole life inside the elaborate stories his brother Stephen, played by Mark Ruffalo, writes for him to perform. By his mid-thirties he wants out, an ordinary life he can call his own, and that longing is the opening Penelope Stamp, the sheltered heiress played by Rachel Weisz, walks straight into when the brothers set her up for one last con.

On Bloom's wrist through the film is a Panerai Luminor, its black dial and the brand's unmistakable crown-protecting lever bridge clearly visible in the harbor scenes and in a quiet moment where he sits with his head propped on one hand. Off screen, Brody is a well-known Panerai enthusiast, regularly seen in the brand's watches, so a Luminor on his character's wrist is no surprise. Panerai first developed that crown bridge for the divers of the Italian Navy, and it remains the feature that identifies a Luminor at a glance.
