Dutch pronunciation isn't too difficult to master if English is your native language.

What does ladybug wear in bullet train?

Brad Pitt's Bullet Train character, Ladybug, is seen wearing a Breitling AVI ref. 765 1953 re-edition. Pitt, who has been a brand ambassador for Breitling since 2000, can also be seen wearing the aviation watch on the poster for the movie.

gq-magazine.co.uk - Bullet Train is a feast of big flex watches (and some action scenes ...

Pitt’s co-star Aaron Taylor Johnson, who plays a rival assassin ‘Tangerine’ wears an altogether different kind of watch in the form of a Rolex Oyster ‘Bubbleback’ Perpetual with a ‘California’ dial from the 1940s. The Bubbleback was so-called by collectors because of the highly domed screw-down case back which housed the rotor of the new self-winding ‘perpetual’ movement. ‘California’ refers to the unusual detail on the dial in which half the hour markers are Roman numerals and half Arabic, and a speciality of a company based out of California. In the 80s and 90s Bubblebacks would fetch higher prices at auction than Daytonas, but fell out of fashion as the trend for larger watches took over. But as smaller, more unusual watches become more popular, Bubblebacks could have their moment once again. The slightly dressier and more vintage-y look of a Bubbleback is about as far from a steel sports watch as it is possible to get. Tangerine wears a checked overcoat and three-piece pinstripe suit in the film – exactly the kind of outfit you’d put with this kind of watch. Finally, Joey King, who plays ‘Prince’ a ladle-like yet deadly assassin wears a Cartier Tank Solo, a watch which quite simply transcends time and will always look chic whether on Prince or Princess.
