Some observers only recently came to recognise the nobility at his heart, but savvy individuals have long known this hardy character’s somewhat humble bearing belies a great strength… and royal heritage. Well-bred battler Jon Snow is Tudor, heir to “the crown” (as Tudor’s parent company, Rolex, is commonly known) and commander of the Night’s Watch, which is surely a Black Bay Dark.

Wealthy, handsome, charming and all about keeping things in the family, Jaime Lannister is pure Patek Philippe (though most watches have at the very least two hands, while Jamie was sadly left with just one after a nasty incident in the third series). Just as a Lannister always repays his debts, a Patek positively promises outstanding ROI.
