Critically acclaimed actor Forrest Whitaker has been recognized as a "Man of Style" by Scatola del Tempo during a recent exclusive interview in Los Angeles. The Scatola del Tempo watch company was founded in the late 1980's by Sandro Collarieti; since that time, the brand has earned a reputation for producing some of the most technologically sophisticated and elegantly crafted watch winders in the industry, as well as the endorsement of such notable watchmaking houses as Patek Philippe.
Forest Whitaker's personal and professional achievements are well matched to the qualities which define the reputation Scatola del Tempo. A Texas native, who grew up in Los Angeles, Whitaker has starred in a number of films over the years, including "Platoon", "Good Morning Vietnam", and Clint Eastwood's "Bird", in which he played the famous Jazz musician Charlie Parker. In 2007, Whitaker won an Oscar for his intense portrayal of the murderous Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, in Kevin MacDonald's 2006 film "The Last King of Scotland". Whitaker was recently honored by the American edition of Vogue as one of the most elegantly dressed men at the Oscar ceremony.
