The identity of the next James Bond has become one of Hollywood’s most closely guarded secrets, but an eagle-eyed fan believes the answer has been staring us in the face all along.

And rather than another suspiciously timed interview, leaked audition, or anonymous industry insider, the latest theory revolves around something considerably more fitting for 007: a very expensive watch.

TikTok creator Ian Thinks (@ianthinks) has sent Bond enthusiasts into a frenzy after claiming he has worked out who will replace Daniel Craig by examining the luxury brand partnerships of the actors reportedly competing for the role.

His conclusion? Jack Lowden, the Scottish star of Slow Horses, whose relationship with Swiss watchmaker Omega could, according to the theory, be hiding the biggest casting announcement in cinema.

‘I know who the next James Bond is. I don’t mean I’m speculating. I’m not speculating, and I’m telling you, I know,’ Ian declared confidently in his video.

And before you dismiss him as another fan driven to madness by five years of increasingly ridiculous Bond rumours, he does have an intriguing argument.

Omega has been the official watch of James Bond since Pierce Brosnan first slipped a Seamaster onto his wrist in 1995’s GoldenEye, with the luxury brand continuing its association throughout Craig’s five-film tenure.

The partnership has become so synonymous with the franchise that Ian believes whoever inherits the famous tuxedo must also be available to represent Omega.

Which, as it turns out, presents something of a problem for several of the actors currently tipped for the role.
