Last night’s premiere of Atomic Blonde saw the red carpet rolled out at the theater in Potsdamer Platz, Berlin. Among the Hollywood stars in attendance was leading actress Charlize Theron. With David Leitch as director and Swiss actor Daniel Bernhardt as the villain, the latest Hollywood action thriller Atomic Blonde boasts two Carl F. Bucherer brand ambassadors in key roles. Watches from the Lucerne-based brand also play an important role – but you’ll have to watch the movie to find out more details. Carl F. Bucherer also supported its brand ambassadors as the exclusive partner for the movie’s world premiere in Berlin. Among the highlights, a watchmaker’s bench appeared on the red carpet, where a Carl F. Bucherer watchmaker offered insights into this traditional craft. The connection between the world of cinema and the world of watchmaking runs much deeper than this event. “ Hollywood makes dreams come true on the big screen – our watches make dreams come true on your wrist, ” says Sascha Moeri, CEO of Carl F. Bucherer. “ David Leitch, who has been a partner of ours for many years, has produced another incredible movie with Atomic Blonde. We are delighted that our watches also play a starring role in the movie. ”

A Fitting Location

It is no coincidence that Berlin was chosen as the venue for this exclusive premiere. The spy thriller’s action unfolds in the streets of the German capital in 1989. Top agent Lorraine Broughton, played by Charlize Theron, has been tasked with an important assignment – and she is ready to do anything to complete it, in a suspenseful and deadly game of chess. Sensual, exciting and thrilling: Atomic Blonde shows that director David Leitch is completely in his element when directing an action movie.

Atomic Blonde hits German cinemas on August 24, and US cinemas on July 28.
