Omega "Watchmaker" George Clooney
Apr 24, 2008
"World's Sexiest Man" George Clooney donned a watchmaking loupe and a white lab coat to play a slightly different role than usual. The acclaimed actor posed for a set of photographs that Omega will use for a "Watchmakers Wanted" campaign to recruit skilled applicants for careers with the watch brand. George Clooney is one of Omega's worldwide brand ambassadors.
The photographs, which depict George Clooney in a moment of intense concentration, were taken by famed photojournalist Greg Williams. In a subsequent interview Clooney commented, “I think that the watchmakers down there felt a little uneasy with my skill. They started off with, ‘Yeah, let’s let George come in and play around’ but after I put three or four of the watches together I think they realized that perhaps they were in for some heavy competition.”
