The “Kingsman” movies are a series of films that follow Gary “Eggsy” Unwin, a British lower-income teenager-turned-international spy played by Taron Egerton, as he is recruited into the top-secret Kingsman organization and fights evil on their behalf.

Both movies in the series are filled with action sequences, such as those that are underwater. The watches that Eggsy and his fellow secret agents wear in the films therefore had to be durable to prevent any breaking during fight scenes, as well as classy to match the fictional spy organization’s aesthetic.

For at least twice a year in Geneva, Switzerland and New York City, many rare watches are auctioned off to the public at Christie’s, a high-end British-based auction house with multiple locations around the world. Here are some of the highlights from last year:

In the 2005 movie Batman Begins, part of The Dark Knight trilogy, Batman actor Christian Bale sports a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille in his appearance as Bruce Wayne. Here is the history behind this watch so that you can get to know it a bit better.

In “Back to the Future”, protagonist Marty McFly sports a Casio CA53W Twincept Databank; the watch perfectly fits the movie’s genre. And despite not appearing in the movie, the company ThinkGeek created and sold a timepiece inspired by the Flux Capacitor, a time-traveling device in Doc Brown’s Delorean.
