As a person interested in watches its always exciting to catch a glimpse of a watch in a film or on television. If its a clear camera shot of the watch its quite easy to identify or if its design is very distinctive. Otherwise it can be an enjoyable hunt to found out.
To the best of my knowledge the first instance of a watch mentioned in detail in a film was the Fugitive Kid starring Marlon Brandon in 1959. He went into full detail about the Rolex triple date moonphase on his wrist. See the video below
For my first post, this was an unexpected surprise. I was a flight and had already seen all the movies that I was interested in seeing. So I decided to watch The Family starring Robert De Niro. There is a scene where De Niro checks the time on his watch for a device he has planted (Won't give the plot away!). He lifts back his sleeve and low and behold there is a vintage Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox on his wrist! I had to rewind the part because I was so suprised! A highlight in a rather stale film!
