Robert Downey Jr. Shows Off His Epic Watch Collection | GQ

I've always felt like you can learn a lot about a man if he opens up his jewelry box. Might be chokers, tiaras, little ringlets. In my case, it's largely watches. I think by the time we've gone through this arbitrary watch collection of mine, you'll know as much about me as anybody on earth. So let's begin. This is actually a found object. I was doing some scavenging with a folk art buddy of mine, and we wound up working this into a living art piece. All that was horse shit. This is a Jaeger. This I wore an Iron Man 2, and it has the open back. That's a heck of a watch. It's probably my best watch. I'm gonna say this is an Omega. Yeah, that's an Omega. That's a lovely timepiece. It's very sporty, but I don't have an endorsement with them, so they can suck it. This is a Rolex, but it's kind of black and shiny. You can't go wrong with a Rolex. Can you tell us about it? I can't. I got myself and a buddy of mine black Rolexes for his birthday for some reason. I guess I needed one too. This is the Green Money Rolex. Why do they call it the Green Money Rolex? I don't know. I just, I saw it and it's green, and it probably wasn't cheap. That's a Rolex. This was actually my grandfather's watch, and he'd hawked it to get enough dough together to start a little pharmacy, and then he got busted for filling scripts at that pharmacy for people who were forging their doctor's signature. So, I mean, really there's a lot of shame on this watch, but I got it for a song. I gave Ben Stiller this watch when we wrapped Tropic Thunder. He said it's too big for me and gave it back to me, and I have not spoken to him since. That's a lie. Ben Stiller gave me this watch when we wrapped Tropic Thunder. Last and certainly not least, that's a Patek Philippe. My missus got me this watch. I'd say this is easily the most glamorous watch a man can have. When she first gave it to me, I said, did you get me a Seiko? What is this? It's my birthday, but I've grown over time to realize that it is an extremely classy and desirable watch. And also, I did not want to incur her wrath by talking shit about a Patek Philippe, because this is an extremely fine watch. Old friend. I'm wearing a lovely Patek Philippe.
