Watches in House of Cards

[Tony B2]

OK, I am behind the curve as I have only just got into series 1 of the US version (with Kevin Spacey) and I keep on getting distracted by the various watches being worn. Some do look rather tasty, so to save me going onto freeze frame all the time (wife finds that annoying) can anyone identify them?

I'm sure a good Google would give more detail, but Frank has an IWC in steel of some sort, a Portuguese variant I believe.
Peter Russo has a Submariner 16610 IIRC.

I thought that I clocked (haha) the IWC. Thinking about it, there are probably some clues in the credits.

Yes, I think there was some link/sponsorship with IWC. I'm pretty sure Frank/Kevin wears more than one model.

Wonder if he got to keep them as part of the deal?

Probably. Not that he needs such freebies, of course

Ah, yes...found some interesting sites on this very subject. Lots of IWC confirmed. The Pilot Chronograph is just gorgeous. It is fortunate that there are no IWC dealers near me.....

Someone at work was talking to me only today, he has a few nice pieces but had seen an IWC he really liked - he said he went off the idea a little when he looked it up and it was £13.5k!

In a similar vein I really like the look of Hugh Laurie's watch in The Night Manager.. Identified as an IWC via the power of the interweb..

All IWCs on Frank's wrist in House of Cards, I believe. Spacey is an IWC ambassador.

A Portugieser Chronograph reference 3714 is one of the most commonly seen ones, if I remember correctly. (IW371446, stainless steel, blue strap.)
