Our complete product catalog features straps in a plethora of different colors, textures, and styles, and each one of our watch bands is made solely from 100% vulcanized rubber. This article is going to take a closer look at the watch collection of an actor who, over the last decade, has achieved a significant amount of prominence – Tom Hiddleston.

To most international audiences, Hiddleston broke through with his role as the mischievous prankster Loki in 2011’s “Thor,” Kenneth Branagh’s Shakespearean foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. What many people may not know, however, is that the actor is also something of a watch aficionado. In honor of his many successes, we will take a closer look at the life, career, and watch collection of Tom Hiddleston.

Who is Tom Hiddleston?

Thomas William Hiddleston was born on February 9th, 1981 in London, England to Diana, an arts administrator, and former stage manager, and Dr. James Hiddleston, a physical chemist. His parents divorced when he was twelve, and he has been quoted as saying “I like to think it made me more compassionate in my understanding of human frailty” regarding the matter.

He has a younger sister, Emma, who is also an actress, and an older sister, Sara, who is a journalist who is currently based in India. At the age of seven, he began his first experience at a boarding school, when he went to Windlesham House School. He would then move on to the Dragon School at Oxford the following year.

At the age of thirteen, Hiddleston began attending Eton College, and he would eventually go on to attend Pembroke College at the University of Cambridge, where he would earn a double first in Classics. During his second term at Cambridge, he was seen in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire by a prominent talent agent. He would proceed to study acting at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, eventually finishing his studies there and going on to graduate in 2005.

Tom Hiddleston’s Early Show Business Career

While he was still appearing in student plays, Hiddleston would land two small but important parts in BBC television productions – one in an adaptation of Nicholas Nickleby, and the other as Winston Churchill’s son Randolph in a television film of “The Gathering Storm.”

After formally graduating from RADA, Hiddleston would receive his first role in a proper feature film, playing the part of Oakley in Joanna Hogg’s “Unrelated,” which was also the director’s debut feature as well. His sister Emma also appeared in the film in the role of Badge.

He would also appear in a production of “The Changeling” in 2006 and “Cymbeline” in 2007. For the latter of the two shows, he would go on to win a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Newcomer in a Play, which is a highly prestigious theatrical award to receive in England.

In 2008, he would appear in Othello with Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ewan McGregor, as well as Anton Chekov’s “Ivanov,” which would see him working with Kenneth Branagh for the first time. This would prove to be a hugely fateful meeting for both men, but especially Hiddleston, as it would directly lead to him being cast as Loki in “Thor” several years later.

Thor and International Success    

After working with Branagh on “Ivanov” and “Wallander,” a television program, he invited Hiddleston to audition for him for his new film project – Thor. Speaking about the experience, Hiddleston has stated that “Ken has had a life-changing effect. He was able to say to the executives, ‘Trust me on this, you can cast Tom and he will deliver. It was massive and it’s completely changed the course of what is available to me to do. Ken gave me my break.”

Ironically enough, Loki was not the part Hiddleston was asked to audition for at first – it was Thor. Recalling the experience afterward, he noted “That was what I was being considered for, because I’m tall and blonde and classically trained, and that seemed to be the mold for what Thor was, he was to be a classical character. And it was in my auditions. I owe this entirely to Marvel and their open-mindedness, they saw something that they thought was interesting. They saw some temperament that they liked.”  

His appearance as Loki in the 2011 film would be an immediate hit with audiences and cause him to receive his own television series as the eponymous character, which premiered in 2021 on Disney Plus.

He also notably appeared in the 2016 miniseries adaptation of John Le Carre’s “The Night Manager,” which saw him working with famed South Korean director Susanne Bier.

What Kinds of Watches Are in Tom Hiddleston’s Collection?

Over the years, Tom Hiddleston has developed quite an impressive watch collection, no doubt having been at least partially inspired by the fact that several of his Marvel costars are also watch collectors. Hiddleston has been known to sport several Cartier watches, including a Cartier Santos Dumont, a Pasha de Cartier, and a Cartier Drive, as well as a Montblanc timepiece, on various occasions.
