A simple search on Google as to why everyone loves Ryan Reynolds will provide you with an infinite amount of reasons, from his newfound love of Wrexham and his Ted Lasso-esque understanding of ‘soccer’ to his partner in crime, Blake Lively known for bating him at every opportunity. There is also a fair amount of love for the nonpareil timing of his staunch humour, and no-one is subjected to this more than his friend/foe Hugh Jackman.

Ryan Reynolds and Idris Elba prove cool watches don't have to cost the world
From unlikely musicians to A-listers flexing their best street style, this week offers an eclectic mix of watches in the spotlight. With only one Rolex on the list, it shows that this summer’s celebrities are a studied lot

On the big screen, Reynolds is renowned for his satirical stint as vigilante Wade Wilson in Marvel’s Deadpool franchise, and ever since it was announced last year that Jackman's Wolverine would be coming out of retirement to star in Deadpool 3, the wise cracks between the duo haven't stopped – with Jackman most recently saying he's keen to score a winning goal against Wrexham AFC.
While anticipation grows for the Reynolds vs Jackman Marvel showdown, we figured it would be fun to pit their watch collections against one another. While Jackman was a loyal Montblanc ambassador from 20216 until recently – racking up classics like the Heritage Spirit Moonphase and 4810 Automatic Chronograph as well as a Montblanc's connected watch, the Summit 2+, it's Reynolds who has acquired a much more eclectic watch collection, on and off screen. He's recently been spotted donning the ever-practical Apple Watch with a funky strap, but there's plenty of firepower sitting pretty at home.

The method behind such mania of becoming another person on screen means that for most actors, they look to share something with their cinematic counterparts to feel closer to them. For Reynolds, that means a love for Panerai, showcasing the unrivalled visibility of the Italian-Swiss horologists both in front and behind the lens. Untether your magnifying glasses and you’ll notice a Panerai Luminor Marina PAM on Reynolds’ wrist in the 2015 action-thrillerSelf/less.But catch him walking the Pound Ridge neighbourhood of NYC and you’ll also spot him clocking a white dial Panerai Luminor Marina PAM, too. Method acting of a sort.
