Ep. #294 Do Movies and TV Shows Sell Watches?

Mike and Kaz talk about watches in movies and TV, the characters that make them memorable, and the watches we’ve actually wanted because we saw them on screen.

From James Bond and John Wick to Burn Notice, Parks and Recreation, and The Bourne Identity, we get into just how effective a good watch placement can be.

Mike: Citizen NY0040
Kaz: Omega Seamaster Professional 300M “GoldenEye” Quartz

Some of the watches and appearances discussed:

• Omega Seamaster and the James Bond franchise

• Omega Speedmaster in Six Days, Seven Nights

• Chase-Durer Special Forces 1000XL UDT in Burn Notice

• Citizen chronograph worn by Ron Swanson in Parks and Recreation

• Vostok Amphibia in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

• The watches of The Terminal List and The Terminal List: Dark Wolf

We also talk about actors wearing their own watches on screen, why certain watches become tied to fictional characters, and the strange rabbit holes that start when you pause a movie to figure out what someone is wearing.
