Introduction to Richard Berry
Richard Berry is one of France's most respected figures in cinema, with a career spanning more than four decades as both an actor and director. Born in Paris in 1950, he made his mark on French film through a string of critically noted performances before stepping behind the camera to direct features including the commercially successful 'Le Démon de midi' and the comedy franchise 'Moi César.' His work across both sides of the lens has earned him a position as a genuine institution in French popular cinema, and his credits as a director alone represent tens of millions of admissions at the French box office.
The Richard Berry watch collection, though not widely documented, points to a preference for serious, technically grounded watches worn without ceremony. The one confirmed sighting in our database comes from the set of 'Nos Femmes,' the 2015 French crime thriller that Berry directed and appeared in. During filming, he was photographed wearing what is identified as an IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph, most likely reference IW390507, fitted on a rubber strap — practical for a long shoot, but also a telling choice. The Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph is a 45mm piece housing IWC's calibre 89361, a self-winding flyback movement running at 28,800 vph with a 68-hour power reserve. It is a watch built around function and horological substance rather than visual noise.
The choice of IWC, and specifically the Portugieser line, aligns with a certain type of collector — one who gravitates toward German-Swiss engineering discipline and clean architecture over decorative complexity. Berry wore the piece mid-scene, suggesting it was either a personal watch he simply kept on during production or a deliberate on-set choice, both of which speak to a comfortable, unforced relationship with the brand.
Richard Berry Spotted Wearing IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph

The IWC Portugieser Yacht Club Chronograph was born from a 2014 partnership with the Volvo Ocean Race, blending nautical utility with haute horlogerie DNA. The distinctive bi-register flyback chronograph layout on a deep navy dial is unmistakable on Berry's wrist in the 2015 French thriller 'Nos Femmes.' Powered by the in-house calibre 89361 with flyback function, it represents a genuine departure from the Portugieser's classical roots — one of IWC's boldest sport-dress crossovers of the decade.
