What does Austin Butler have to do with American Psycho? Well, in case you didn’t know, ever since it was announced that Luca Guadagnino was working on the remake of this iconic thriller, the internet has been abuzz with rumors about Patrick Bateman. But now we know that Austin Butler is attached to play the corporate killer weapon, putting to rest rumors that the role would go to Jacob Elordi.
And if there’s one thing Butler and Bateman have in common, it’s an appetite for watches. As we saw at the San Francisco International Film Festival, where the actor sported best UK replica Breitling Chronomat Automatic 40 watches. Wearing a multipurpose sports watch with black tie is one way to annoy the rule-abiding purists, but it’s actually an interesting choice.
Austin Butler’s Breitling Chronomat Automatic 40
The Chronomat is a fusion of Breitling’s heritage, blending its aeronautical roots with its terrestrial and marine worlds. It has dual time zones and its 24-hour scale lets the wearer know whether it’s day or night, recalling the watchmaker’s aeronautical origins. Water-resistant to 200 meters, it’s ready for whatever you throw at it, on or off the ground. And since the actor has worn AAA online Breitling fake watches before, it’s clear he likes them.
In August, he sported the understated Breitling Chronomat B01 42 to accompany a simple outfit at the airport, displaying a true aviator attitude. As far as cheap Breitling replica watches go, this one flies under the radar compared to more popular models like the Navitimer and Superocean diving chronographs. But it shouldn’t be surprising that Butler opted for a less common model, given his stylish off-set looks, where he often wears unusual work clothes and trucker caps. It’s a watch that serves a lot of purposes, but doesn’t like to shout about it.
But is it the kind of watch a Wall Street psychopath would wear? We’re not sure. In the 2000 film, Christian Bale’s Patrick Bateman was a yuppie in a Seiko SNXJ90 – the closest thing to a two-tone Datejust that the props department could come up with, given that Rolex wasn’t too keen on a killer wearing one of its most popular pieces. And a stainless steel sports Breitling copy watches for men with a black dial doesn’t have the allure we associate with Bateman’s high-class antics in the Big Apple.
In addition to perfect UK replica Breitling sports watches, Butler has also sported some gorgeous Cartier Tanks on the red carpet. Again, these are interesting models that hold up well in serious watchmaking circles, but as far as big business is concerned, we don’t know if the delicate dress watches would fare well among the fierce, jewel-hungry sharks of the 1980s.
For Butler to become the authentic Patrick Bateman, he needs a two-tone DJ, a gold Submariner, or perhaps a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony to keep him from being laughed at in the boardroom. Of course, for the actor to sport these grails, his on-screen misdeeds would have to be approved by the brands.
With no release date announced, it’s going to be a while before we see Austin Butler as Patrick Bateman. But given Guadagnino’s track record of working with some of the best when it comes to costumes – for Queer he enlisted Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson – it’s likely to be a hit.
