2025 sees Audemars Piguet celebrate its 150th anniversary, and while there’s sure to be a host of celebratory activations heralding the new this year, it’s always nice to indulge in nostalgia.
It’s no news that Hollywood A-listers provide the perfect canvas for AP to project its latest horological creation, with red carpets constantly awash with noteworthy new timepieces. Yet it hasn’t gone under our radar that celebrities have donned some pretty iconic Swiss made replica watches by the maison within the film and television shows they star in.
Costume designers have long understood that the devil is in the detail, and the best UK fake watches on a character’s wrist adds an authenticity to time and place (as well as shattering the facade when a recent model flashes up in a supposedly decades earlier setting).
With help from the online army of horology sleuths who track down each timepiece, we have curated a timeline of iconic moments that Audemars Piguet copy watches for sale dominated our screens.
Bill Murray: ‘Scrooged’
In 1988, Bill Murray starred in ‘Scrooged’, an adaptation of Charles Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ (1843). Here Murray flexes his very own luxury China replica Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar watches, when the clock strikes 12, he looks down to his AP.
Again a few years later, Bill Murray brings his beloved Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar into the film ‘Quick Change’ in 1990.
Murray incorporated his frustration with his high quality Audemars Piguet fake watches into the film. The watch was a self-winder, but if not worn for a while, it needed to be wound at the AP store for $150 – a fee that Murray hated paying, and had to do many times when filming long periods on movie sets.
To bring his annoyance to life, he asked the co-directors to write the cheap super clone watches into the movie. This humorous real-life experience became a memorable part of the film’s plot during a robbery scene where Murray himself was the robber.
