    War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. Not the best movie, but great taste in watches :)

    The pocket watch in Somewhere in Time, (which also presents an unresolvable paradox about its origin).

    Tom Cruise is wearing a PVD coated Orfina Porsche Design—classic 1980s design!

    ...and how about Christian Bale (as Dick Cheney) wearing an 18k yellow gold Rolex Day-Date in Vice?

    ...and let's not forget about the great Ron Swanson and his Citizen AV001-59A Eco-Drive :cool:

    Ok, I'll stop now.

    Clockstoppers! Not a great movie, or a good watch, but the watch is the focus of the movie...

    That and around a dozen short stories (HG Wells, Stephen King and more)

    I saw the impossibly soppy "The Art of Racing in the Rain" on a plane. The main character prominently wears a Speedmaster throughout, swapping between NATO, maybe a leather strap and bracelet (I even thought it looked like a 1171 bracelet - how sad is that...)

    I was just starting to get into watches then and loved that Dr. Strange scene.

    I then went out to try and get a watch winder drawer just like that only to find out it's not practically viable... apparently there's a reason all watch winders tilt.

    Watched that with my wife this weekend, and she'd yell at me if I'd try to pause and see what kind of watch he wore. So, I planned to re-watch tomorrow while she's at work, and you saved me the trouble.

    Both of those were grabbed from the trailer...



    Looking a bit further into the trailer, I see the bracelet is a more recent one

    Has anyone here seen Ford vs. Ferrari? Great movie and pleasantly surprised on the actual focus of the story, the movie title is somewhat misleading.

    It seems that Bale's character is wearing a Heuer Autavia in the scene where he is in the Paris hotel during his arrival for the Le Mans race and Damon, if not mistaken, is wearing a hamilton chronomatic panda, but a modern version (case looks large). Correct me if I'm wrong

    I just saw the movie. Was wondering about their watches. Damon (Shelby) wore his on his right wrist. Bale had three registers. Iacocca and Ford had gold watches. How about that clock at LeMans? Nice!

    Not a movie, but I just spotted a Seamaster (not sure which one) prominently shown in a TV show. In season 6, episode 3 of the show "Psych", the main character, Shawn Spencer, is wearing it.

    Take a close look at the in-cockpit action sequences and You'll clearly notice the stick & throttle shots show Navy pilots wearing Rolex watches :D
