    Mrs. 89-0 and I took in the Downton Abbey exhibit today. Not much for me to see there, though the wife really enjoyed it. But things got a bit more interesting for me when I came across some watches used on the show. These are props, so I'm not sure they're vintage. No names on the dials; pics kinda sucky.

    Love the show and love this, thanks for sharing! Did they mention if these belonged to specific characters?

    The watch in the first photo was in a display case of jewelry worn by the cast but it didn't mention which character wore it. The other two watches did have cards next to them, but since I don't know the show I didn't look at the names. All of them were worn by the 'upstairs' folks, though.

    I just looked at the photo of the Tonneau, and without the cropping you can see some stills. Maybe that helps on which Downton character wears it.
