Spotlight on: The Fast and the Furious movies, and their wrist watches.
The Fast and the Furious is one of the highest-grossing movie series ever.
Nine movies, multiple film awards, and $5 billion in earnings after,
it looks like there's no stopping them, as there are two more movies on the way!
Centered around high-speed robberies, heists, and spies,
its main draw are really the ubiquitous muscle cars and unbelievable car chases.
In some scenes though, we were stopped in our tracks by the cool wrist watches on display.
Check out the timepieces worn by Dwayne Johnson,
the late Paul Walker, and Jason Statham in Fast and Furious movies.

Paul Walker is part of the pioneer cast of Fast & Furious,
and appeared until Furious 7. He played Brian O'Conner, an undercover police officer,
and this role paved the way for him to become a bankable Hollywood star.
He exclusively wore Jaeger LeCoultre timepieces in the series,
starting with the Master Compressor Navy SEALs in Fast Five.
This timepiece is the result of the partnership between
the Jaeger LeCoultre and the elite unit of American divers - the U.S. Navy Seals.
With a stainless steel body, and black rubber bezel and strap,
the watch is engineered to be tough and sturdy in all conditions, including under water.
In Fast & Furious 6, Paul wore a Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Deep Sea Chronograph.
The watch is a modern take on JLC's vintage dive watches. With a monochrome color scheme
and tapered case, this watch would look great whether you're diving or out to a fancy dinner.
Dwayne Johnson first joined the Fast & Furious franchise in Fast Five,
playing Luke Hobbs, a former agent of the Diplomatic Security Service.
Given his towering height and ripped physique, Panerai watches,
known for their large cases and robust construction, have become his watch of choice.
In Fast Five, he wore a 44 millimeter Panerai Luminor Submersible.
This sturdy diver is waterproof to an impressive 1000 meters,
and comes with extremely luminous hands and markers, for optimum legibility even under water.
In Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Dwayne wore a Panerai Luminor Power Reserve on a leather
strap. The Luminor Power Reserve comes in the classic proportions of the Luminor 19-50,
with a power reserve indicator at 4 o'clock.
Jason Statham joined the franchise with Fast & Furious 6, playing Deckard Shaw, a rogue
special forces assassin. He also starred alongside Dwayne Johnson in the latest movie, Hobbs & Shaw.
In Hobbs & Shaw, we spotted him with a vintage Rolex Submariner on his wrist.
Incidentally, Jason also wore one during the movie's press tour,
which makes it likely that he wore his personal timepiece for the film.
Fast cars, great watches. The Fast and the Furious series will thrill
not just car enthusiasts, but watch lovers, too.
