As with most car chase and heist movies, time plays a big role, as illustrated by The Driver’s own five-minute rule which dictates “you give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I’m yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you’re on your own.”

The Drive Watch When the duo of Gosling and Winding Refn reunited for the 2013 film, Only God Forgives, his character was once again clad in Madison boots.

While we’ve noted that a watch like a Patek Philippe is “normally reserved for oil tycoons or drug barons,” due to its high price, the ownership of the Swiss timepiece is a reflection of his character as described in the original source material in the book that influences the film. For the film, Gosling’s character opts for a one-of-a-kind Patek Philippe chronometer with white, luminous face and brown leather band that he would strap to the steering wheel of his getaway car. The outfit caught the eye because of its uniqueness and difference from our regular day racing costumes.The following infographic gives you a pictorial briefing about the Drive costume.

Is there anyone more likable on planet Earth than 35-year-old Cornwall, Ontario, native Ryan Gosling? As a fellow human male on Earth, I sometimes find myself getting frustrated with how flat-out perfect he seems. Lots of men in Hollywood are handsome. When it comes to Gosling, it's actually everything else plus the looks that make him irritatingly attractive. He's got style. He's got just the right amount of self-deprecating humor. He’s got two children with one of the most beautiful women on the planet. He legitimately seems like he's never been mad in his entire life. (Try it: Can you imagine Ryan Gosling yelling at someone?) Film and movies will always be a medium that people will look to for fashion advice. Whether it’s the effortless cool of film heroes completing monumental tasks to save mankind, or more understated everyday type heroes – these characters ultimately become the template for cool. The style of the pants is tight in Drive. Or definitely slim fit to the leg. Levi’s 514s are as slim as most of us want to get. But 511s are one step closer to a second skin and the fabric has 1% spandex mixed in for stretch. Which helps with comfort. To many of us, the watch is the most wanted piece of the Driver’s wardrobe. His watch is a Patek Philippe, alothough this specific model doesn’t really exist in real life. The silver dial with just one small second sub-dial is surprisingly difficult to replicate or find a similar alternative. The Scandinavian watch brand Skagen did release a design that was is a close in design and very similar. But it features a lighter shade leather band with some texture. If you want a more affordable dark dial version of the one in the movie it could be the watch for you.
