World-class chefs have risen beyond the status of artists to become full-on celebrity personalities, and with that comes financial success and the luxury watches that signify it. We can’t help but be fascinated, and it’s irresistible to analyze what the watches they choose might reflect about their culture and persona. Does it mirror their tastes or ethos in the kitchen? Does it mark a milestone such as opening a restaurant or earning a Michelin star? Season 3 of the hit FX TV series The Bear imbues its culinary characters’ wristwear choices with symbolism that will engross any fan of the show.
Within the opening moments of Season 3 we find Carmy, the main character and owner of The Bear restaurant, adrift in his mind, searching back through formative moments in his career working and studying alongside some of the best chefs (both real and fictional) in the world. The focus and obsessiveness of each action, each movement, each dish, is illustrated for the viewer through precise movement of skilled hands. On many of these wrists are watches to which the enthusiast’s eye will be drawn — each distinct and conspicuously present, as though they are meant to specifically give us insight into the character.
Throughout each episode of the series, we are reminded, furiously at times, that in the finest kitchens in the world, every second counts. It’s a mantra repeated over and over again — the difference between a perfect service, a perfect temperature, a perfect dish, and disaster. A moment of particular note, recalls where he is told that a wagyu steak needs five more seconds in the broiler. That’s five seconds between perfection and trash.
