Meet the directors behind The Chase for Carrera, our special tribute film starring Ryan Gosling.

You’ve probably seen our special tribute film The Chase for Carrera starring Ryan Gosling. Some of the best minds in the business came together to create this cinematic homage to the Carrera on its 60th birthday. During the star-studded premiere in London last month, we sat down for a freewheeling chat with David Leitch and Nash Edgerton, the co-directors of The Chase for Carrera.

« It’s really interesting that Ryan and TAG Heuer have found each other because they feel like the perfect match. »

David Leitch Co-director

Leitch and Edgerton are an incredible double act. You can tell that the film is a reflection of their infectious energy and enthusiasm. In the interview, they give us a sense of what it was like behind the scenes. How they collaborated with the stellar cast, the creative evolution of the story, the importance of time in their lives, and more. So grab your popcorn and see what the filmmakers have to say about our action-packed, wall-to-wall entertainer.  

« The driving force behind the film was to put Ryan in a situation where he could do what he does best: make a bit of fun of himself, do some physical action and comedy, and really show that the brand has a sense of humor. »

Nash Edgerton Co-director
