Late last year, Russell Crowe announced that he was auctioning off some of his possessions, from movie props to art and, intriguingly for us, watches. In early February, Rusty tweeted again, giving us some more detail on the watches he was selling. The tweet included a blurry picture of a Panerai, and subsequent posts ran through some of the brands he was selling, and that the watches - in many cases - related to specific films or projects. Crowe also noted that the watches represented half his collection. It was clear that Crowe wasn’t just a man who owned a few nice watches, he was a collector. And given that the April 7 auction was happening in our own backyard, we knew we had to act.
This video is the result. Hit play and hear what Russell Crowe himself has to say about his watches, highlights of the provocatively titled ‘Russell Crowe: The Art of Divorce’ auction, held in Sydney on the 7th of April, 2018.

#RussellCroweArtofDivorce #RussellCroweWatches - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
This is a Timex I brought when I was shopping around at a local place.
Russell is the nicest guy ever. I casually met him in Milan in a downtown backstreet...he was having a beer sitting down in the summer sun wearing a white wife-beater😎
No bodyguards, available for everyone to take a photo.
" Gladiator " still brings me to tears.
I hope this collection sells very well.
Cheers from Italy mate🍻
Thanks for sharing mate. That's awesome
Adam N I was actually surprised....he was in town to promote his latest movie I think.
A LOT of people were just walking by without realizing who he was...he did put on a few extra pounds😁
Russell Crowe is not always the nicest guy. The trouble that he was referring to while he was in NYC was probably connected to the time he assaulted a hotel worker for no apparent reason. I think he threw a telephone at him and injured him, and had to go to court over it.
That's why I like him. Completely down to earth normal guy. And he's looking like a teddy bear these days.
SpaghettiKillah go on cry some more
I am pretty surprised at the way he has kept his watches in such a neat and clean condition! Truly a Gentleman's collection!
20 thousand dollar watches tend to stay clean. My Casio has paint on it, it looks better
Selling his memories to pay his wife off, it’s pretty scary when you think about it
Maybe he was a shit husband
lol
And getting rid of memories he has with his wife as well
Cant take the shit with you when you go...
Every wife has a lawyer in the shadows.
He has so many watches however remembers the story behind each of those. He seems true admirer of watches.
swapsaraf3 I think it’s more of an admirer of memories. It sounded like he cared more about when and why he bought the watch rather than what watch it was.
@@AlwaysBolttheBird Which is what watch collecting is
He’s an actor reading a script it’s an advert 👻🤪
Even though many of the watches are not the most sought out ones or the most eye popping I really enjoyed Russell talk about his stories behind them. Since a big part of the celebrity scene just gets watches left and right without knowing anything about the watch itself or has any REAL specific meaning to them besides that it makes them ''looking sharp''.
What story? I was at an airport at the time and got the impulse to buy...
True, almost all of them are impulse buys but its better than some hip hop artist buying the most obnoxious jewelry they can get their hands on.
Its better, but not by a lot. I skipped after the third watch they showed. Its basically :"I bought this because I can". Which is fine, but adding some irrelevant story to it does not make those watches any more interesting.
Moral of the story, AVOID DIVORCE OR YOU MIGHT LOSE YOUR WATCHES
there is no moral here - only life shifts . When are u getting married for a change ? lol
Or don't get married in first place!
luke grantham Don’t get married in the first place. The law’s made it a sham
Xavier Roberts “...a lot of moolah...”. I’d say “any” moolah.
Wrong moron. Avoid GETTING MARRIED.
After his next divorce, I look forward to his sale of his Casio watch collection.
That funny now mean but funny
Savage
Casio is a better watch.
Now that is funny and accurate
💯
Turns out Russell Crowne excels at explaining watch psychology as well as he acts and he acts very well.
Money doesn't provide taste and style, luckily RC really has bought some choice cuts from the watch world, some absolute beauties, it wasn't luck that bought them.
Beautifully edited artistic video, bravo.
I like the fact that they all look a bit worn, with some minor scuff marks. It shows he's actually used them, as opposed to just storing them away like some sad watch collector.
Awesome that he tells personal stories related to the watch rather than spouting facts and specs, I love it! That’s what collecting is all about.
A good clean out , never did any harm. Great stories behind these watches, I wish I could afford one of them, it would be a Panerai for me. Thank you RC
Now I want to see the video of the watches he is keeping...
stop dreaming out loud .....u wont see them .
So does his wife.
seiko 5
So would his ex-wife's lawyer.
It's a Timex Weekender
That Vacheron is incredible.
I always wondered why they cost so much. Now I know.
Bad ass. You can tell Russell isn't the kind of guy who goes online to research his next purchase. Devil may care Australian legend.
being worth 90+ million also allows you to make a purchase without thinking. :)
Australian? I thought he's a Kiwi
@@sengalkol He is...still a Kiwi Citizen.
@@sengalkol he is a new Zealander. Why at the start the bloke said Australia's adopted son.
Russ is quite the salesman, those stories will definitely get the buyers in, especially fans of those particular movies as they are almost movie memorabilia!
The story about his first Panerai is great. Great watches, love my 305 submersible.
u rich af?
The story makes the piece! : )
Each watch is a memory of his life, but life goes on and things come and go.
Yeah the money goes when the women come
@@harryvanderveen773 🥲
Not sure why, but I've always loved the Cartier Tank Americaine Chronograph. Someday! live the video and storytelling. Thanks for posting.
Because honestly, it's a nice looking watch
I wish Russell the best of luck and a happy future. Hopefully, he'll continue to buy watches that make him happy.
Ultimately, you buy what you like. That's clearly what Russell did.
Well done sir.
You buy what you like, AND what you can afford. I really cant seem to understand whats so great about someone, anyone buying something. "I bought this car beacause I like it!" Wow, well done, so amazing!
I want to see what hes keeping!
Matt its timeX and fossil.
Thank you -- one of the best watch videos I've seen in a long time. I wish him the best.
The very first words of russel crowe.. Seems like a movie.. Goosebumps
binot we got em too, such dulcet tones.
.......right?!
binot mrsss
That speedmaster is incredible! What an icon. The VC is also gorgeous!
Vacheron is truly a great watch, he should keep it. The only other nice watch is the Omega speed master. It's not insane money but we'll built, great movement, and looks damn good
Love it. So interesting to listen to these stories. Great history.
Just earlier today I was shopping for copies of fine watches. I like Russel Crowe so it was cool listening to him share his state of mind and motivation for buying certain watches. Pretty cool watch that traveled with a man to the Moon.
Wonderful video and a confirmation that even the rich and famous can make some howlers when assembling a watch collection. Really enjoyed Russell's story telling on the pieces featured .. he is clearly an enthusiast.
As a Watch Collector myself I think that it must have hurt him to sell his Watch Collection.
In his The Art of Divorce or The Art of War, each watch represented a period of "time" in his life that cannot be replaced. Russell's ex wife obviously had no feelings about what each watch meant to Russell or did she out of spite?
I also thought it was sad Russell had a collection of items from all his movies he had to put up for auction in his "Art of Divorce" as well.
PRE NUP NEXT TIME RUSSELL!
Such great care has gone into each watch he collected..... Seems heartfelt
Very nice.... I will never own one of these watches... but i can hope... Good on ya Rusty!! Thanks for video.
Great Video, like RC Films! :)
I love hearing the stories behind each watch.
I love that Panerai and MOTM Speedmaster. Hands down one of my actors and person for several reasons...This video was just pure coolness. I'd love to have a beer with him one day in Turkey. Thank you for sharing and goodluck in the future.
I like that that was a cool collection and some great stories thanks Russ Crow
people buy stories not watches or cars or houses, they buy the story about the watch, the car, the house.
The Ron Howard Speedmaster or the Gladiator Panerai. Wow.
Daniel Wan both
Daniel Wan, it's not Ron Howard's Speedy. Russell gave it to his brother and bought this one afterwards.
The man is definitely honest in stating why his watches are being sold at auction.
Some lovely watches in his collection....Thoroughly enjoyed his stories. 🇨🇦
One of my favorite watch videos. Kudos!
Man, I want that Omega Speedmaster. I think i have found my dream watch.
There's something about Russell Crowe that makes me think I'd like him if I met him.
It must be nice having the wherewithal to pick up a new luxury watch whenever you feel like it.
As a side note, it would've been good to see the rest of his collection, even if just a slow panning shot over the assembled pieces.
Seems like a real genuine guy. I like his watches. Good stuff, actually great stuff, without being pretentious.
That Vacheron would be my choice, only because I loved A Good Year and the infamous New York telephone incident lol. Huge fan, and man he has good taste in watches.
Some seriously angry and jealous people on these comments. He bought what he liked from a VC to a speedy. Some flash stuff and some understated stuff too.
I lost respect for the guy when I heard him calling "people on the dole" lazy. Then I saw his taste in watches. Oh yea, he needs to put down the guitar. He's no Jonny Cash.
@@watchrepairing Well some are lazy and some aren't. Easy to point the finger from far away.
Bravo, very good video. You overcome Kodinkee, my opinion. A lot of success, I'm following you with love❤️👏
Nice watches and is a bit like Paul Newman narrating his Daytona sale. Russel is the same age as me, but has a lot more spending power.
I have way more respect for this man watching him walk away for all these tings he thought were important.
He has placed value on something different in his life other then items.
He sold these watches to pay for his divorce lol
No - He's wife's divorce lawyer placed a value on them...lol
Lot 217 , that Rolex Cellini is an absolute stunner...
Agreed, I hate Rolex designs, they're dated, but that Cellini is as you said a stunner
Interesting Watch choices of a fantastic actor. Thanks for posting.
I agree with Russell - all of these can go.
Yes, several shitters indeed.
especially the Cellini...yikes..
I'd hang on to a display-back Speedy but the rest of them..... yikes.
Show us your collection Namesi
How’s your ‘Realex’ collection going
Fossil and Invicta are about at the top of my watch budget. $150 crew
I love my Invicta, Rolex lookalikes. It's as close to Rolex as I can get right now. lol
You can get great Seikos on that budget. Better watches. Coming from a Fossil owner (nothing wrong with Fossil, though)
@@rabbit32073 try an orient ray ii. Plan on putting it on a rubber strap, a Nadeau, or purchasing one of the strapcode bracelets. the watch is absolutely gorgeous and highly accurate with hand winding and hacking. Applied markers, applied logo, signed Crown, fantastic lume. The bracelet, with hollow end links, is pretty weak though... I will tell you that many guys wearing Omega and Rolex and so forth have stopped me over the past year and ask, what is that? When I tell them it's a $145 watch the can't believe it. In your hands, it feels like quality. In-house movement as well. mine currently runs about one and a half seconds a day fast. True. Pretty sure you will love it. My brother has an Omega Seamaster ceramic and, honestly, I like my watch just as much as his and his runs five seconds of a fast. LOL. He hates that mine runs more accurately!
@@john-carlosynostroza I think Orient watches look fantastic and are great watches, I just think the logo is too gaudy. In my opinion. Not a dealbreaker though.
Most enjoyable video. I wish I could buy watches on a whim
Lawrence Rogers that’s what Casio is for. Lol
And Seiko!!
You can
Lovely stories. Love the Vacheron
They should at least have screwed down properly those Panerai strap bars... Beautiful collection :)
8:25 is heartbreaking ☹️
I look at nice watches in airports also. I have been tempted by a Rolex Explorer but if I put $5k on the credit card I would be the next one in divorce.
Gear Zen do it.
Everyone watches, not everyone buys.
That SuperOcean Heritage Chronograph wasn't in production until 2008 if I remember correct but in the video it says 2003......
Background check anyone?
That Panari is lovely....
my friend has a nice one.
I have few possessions. And once i got used to it. I realized i didnt need much. The hardest part is the way you think people will precieve you for not having much. It is a complete EGO fight.
Its pretty obvious he doesnt do it cause of the ego - those watches remind him of special events in his life. I imagine the value of them is piss poor compared to his total wealth, but its about the feelings and memories.
Wish they made a watch for the ladies where his voice tells you the time!!
I want that Breitling from broken city, looks like I missed out!
That Panerai GMT is dope. I am one of the rare guys who has crazy about watches but limits myself to just one nice piece at a time. Therefore, I don't think I could have that as my only watch since I tend to stick with straight up tool watches or divers. I really don't like leather straps on anything other than a proper dress watch which, still, I prefer on bracelet usually. But, these Panerai look so gorgeous on a somewhat distressed leather strap or at least something that's not glossy. Man, I got to stop writing about this watch or I'm going to think about getting one. Right now rocking a Tudor Pelagos LHD. I got it with bracelet but immediately put on an aftermarket rubber strap which looks super killer, makes it even lighter which is pretty funny since it weighs practically nothing. anyway, and, since I never take it off, ever, it is good to go in and out of the shower, the ocean, the gym, wherever! It really is a brilliant watch. Oh, and while I really like Breitling actually, I know, a lot of haters out there... But, anyway, I can't stand the Heritage II. I feel like they were just trying to combine two many elements and styles and feel that they missed the mark. and yes I know is a shout out to the past But it just doesn't work for me. They just tried too hard. I do really like some of the Superocean line however. those Breitling peeps sure build some beefy real deal divers though. Overbuilt almost, LOL. Sadly, they make a super legit to a watch and then they put high polish on the entire thing. I can't believe they can sell enough of those to keep making full high polish tool watches. and this is a pretty cool video. it's kind of refreshing to see a superstar who just seem to have pick the watches that he likes and that meant something to him one way or another. They are, pretty much, just ordinary watches entry-level kind of stuff for the most part... some really nice pieces but it's not all showy and super exclusive like a lot of the celebs get into...
Great taste!
Moral of the story " Live in relationship is best, Never get married"
Nice watches. Brilliant actor! Thx for this review
OMG that Vacheron is incredible.
Which watch was he wearing when he was coked out of his mind and beat some poor minimum wage earning college kid with a telephone because the kid didn't hand him the phone as fast as Russel wanted? I bet that watch sells for a pretty penny. That's a piece of HISTORY right there!
Kid should have been quicker. Lesson learned.
😁
No Pateks APs or JLC,but what a collection.Or maybe there the ones he is keeping.
Mark Thorpe umm Cartier, Rolex .... your point mate?
Chopard, Constantine. You literally know nothing about watches
I'd like to be wanker with a Patek
Mark Thorpe cheap watches for the money he made
David Braae constantine? Chopard its thrash , breitling shit also , and the rolex yachtmaster its ugly
Awesome collection, but that Superocean and the Speedmaster do it for me above all.
He 's one of my favourite actors. Lots of love from turkey.
these comments are from a bunch of people that cant afford these watches saying they dont want them or theyre ugly but know damn well they would wear it if they could.
jake hoyt tend to agree with this Jake - Andrew
thanks for the videos keep up the good work
Crowe’s net worth is $100 million. He did not need to sell these watches to pay off his wife. Reminds me of all the watches I’ve sold and now regret it. Never again.
Do you work at his bank lol
@@RamblingpeteYes. With your Mom as my assistant. 😂
Bro… you should always show you are broke in front of your wife
I love him and his voice a good day was my favorite movie I like only some of his watches.
I LOVE the diversity in his lineup...a true lover of Horology! : )
Congratulations contact me to claim your reward 👏
What's wrong with divorces in Hollywood? This should not happen! He deserves his wealth to the fullest. He is one of the best actors from Australia ever, besides Mel Gibson. ;-) His acting is pure and full of life. I like every movie he is in and some I love, like "a good year". Amazing man. (I think he is in rage after the auction ends, like his role "Mr. Knife" in "The Man with the Iron Fists")
He is actually a New Zealander, Australia is his adopted country
Mel was born in Peekskill, New York USA. Sorry mate.
Divorces are everywhere mate. Just don't get married in the first place.
Most of these comments are absolutely ridiculous. Just because he doesn’t have a collection of watches you armchair horological experts approve of his collection is shit? Not everyone buys just to earn browny points, trying to appease strangers on the web. There are still people out there who buy something just because they like it believe it or not. Get a grip, this guy’s a legend and doesn’t need a Lange, Patek, Journe, etc. to prove anything to anyone.
White Buffalo he is not de niro, pacino , pitt or depp those are true legends
Exactly.
agree ... so many IDIOTIC comments about the "quality and purity" of the collection and the investemnt !!!!! Fu** them all !!!! He liked those watches , that's it !! Besides, many of them are very good picks. I have a modest collection, and the one that likes me MOST is one of the cheapeast of the pack !! This is not a watch technical review or a financial white paper.
Could you turn the music up more
Fantastic to have that voiceover!
"Bit of a heartbreaker to see that 1 go.....Sad..
He definitely got very good taste on watches ⌚👍😙
Seems he and I have similar tastes in watches. Love his remarks about buying watches to mark moments, like we all do. His moments seem more interesting than others, but so what? Nice collection. And the haters can piss off. This guy buys what he wants, and I like the concept of the Icelandic watch...hey, I was in Iceland filming, I saw a watch from a local maker and I bought it to remember the shoot. Nice!
Is that the music from Jewelbox 1.0 for the Mac??
Fightin' round the worrrrrrld...
This is very very sad to watch. I got divorced, I kept my watches. The ex knew that would be a dagger to the heart. HIs divorce must be abso9lute hell on both sides for these to get auctioned.
It's actually a joint auction, much of her jewelry is also to go.
There's millions of dollars worth of diamond jewelry in the auction...
He states in a different interview about the auction that it may be called, "The Art of Divorce," but that doesn't mean he has to sell this stuff to pay for the divorce. He has plenty of money to settle the divorce. He goes on to say that there was a time in his life when he felt like he needed all of this stuff, so he collected. Now, he's embraced more of a minimalist attitude, so it's just time to say goodbye to a lot of stuff. FYI, this auction contained a whole lot of different stuff, not just watches.
@@rabbit32073 , chile you're just talking sense to some of these incel idiots around here, thinking they know how much these two have in their pockets smh
Great video
Nice taste ..love the Breitling super ocean chrono the most and the yacht master and vacheron lol bit there all nice ..if i had the cash id buy them all from one of the coolest actors in my life time
Makin movies makin songs and FOIGHTIN' ROUND THE WORLD
TOOOOT...
that panerai is a handsome watch indeed
Probably bought them with some memory of her. Sometimes, you realise that these pieces are simply material, and the memories attached to them is too hard to handle. I had two watches I simply loved and wouldn’t dare get myself to sell, but something happened and I couldn’t bear to keep them, so I gave them away. The memory was too harsh if I kept them!.
How to buy it and price
I only own a beat up seiko divers watch.
But I'm sure it's been with you awhile, and probably has some stories.....
i only own zero watches - a waste of time and money . Music is more important
Bluehopi Waltz then why are you watching this video?
Is it a 6159 or possibly a 6105 ?
All the snobs commenting on this video calling his watches "shitters" ought to post a video of their watch collection. It would be laughable if there isn't a single watch in your collection that costs more than $10,000.
What does price of someones own watches have to do with their ability to judge taste or class? (Not saying Russels' collection lacks taste or class).
haha. Russell Crowe is worth north of 90 million dollars. I like the fact that he stays humble. Most important thing about watches, buy what you like, fuck the rest.
Price doesn't make a watch special you pratt!!
I always seem to buy a watch at the airport as well mine tend to be G Shocks for around £100
This watch collection is absolutly amazing, is well connected with memmories
Talking watches with...
sven schukat I
It’s not a collection without a Seiko.
For sure. At his wealth he could have afforded a GS or even a Credor! Disappointing that he has such garish time pieces
no Mont Blanc either??
Vladimir PutinYarbutt yikes seiko fans can be cringe
Really? It’s like someone having a whole line of Rolls Royce and Mercedes cars and you tell him his collection is crap because he doesn’t have a Toyota in his collection.
All I can say is The irony
Actually it is a VERY good taste collection. Before you guys start to bash me , those watches actually are NOT very expensive models. Some are 3K to 5K models. It is more good taste and functionality than show off. Panerai is great but is NOT shiny and flamboyant at all. If you dont know about watches you never realize the value of each one. Very nice collection indeed.
Some beautiful watches in that auction.
I have a Raymond Veil dress watch that slips on my wrist and feels like a million quid.
My late wife gave it to me for Christmas.
I love it.
Also I did have a Tag ,that's a proper watch.
I would love a Breitling.
