Among other things, he has directed the film \u201cThe Prince of Chess\u201d (2005), and was co-producer on \u201cMAGNUS\u201d (2016). In 2016 he followed his childhood dream of starting his own watch brand \u2013 however,\u00a0 chess continued to have a prominent role also in this venture. Von Doren’s first collection of mechanical wristwatches was named Grandmaster, inspired by the strength and effort required of a chess player to achieve the title of Grandmaster.<\/p>\n
