What watch is Al Pacino wearing in Ocean's 13?
Does anyone recognise the make/model? It looks familiar but I can't figure it out.

Ah ha!
I finally figured it out.
The watch case looked suspiciously like a Tiffany & Co., but there was
no similar watch on the Tiffany site. After a bit of searching I discovered the
Tiffany & Co. Grand 8-day jump hour. The movement is made by Vaucher and I
suspect is the same movement found in the Parmigiani 8-days. A very striking
watch, I will see whether I can find out more about it.

Strange, as the rest of the case seemed to have been issued with
Rolex of some description (Brad Pitt and Julian Sands). Product placement....

Perhaps this was Tiffany's attempt at more subtle product placement
But I doubt it, given that it took me a long time to find out what watch it
was. Wouldn't make sense to sponsor a watch and not have any audience
recognise it. I doubt the watch came from the wardrobe department either
since it is such an expensive item. Perhaps it is Mr Pacino's watch?

you may think it was subtle...
It may seem subtle to you, but I bet anyone that is in that market recognized it right off the bat.
the Tiffany connection
Great detective work, SJX! Willie (Al Pacino) Bank's collection of diamond necklaces for his wife are all from Tiffany & Co, so its logical that he should wear the same.
BTW, Tiffany is thanked in the producer's credits. So is Ritmo Mundo but not Rolex......

So it was probably product place then
It's a lot more subtle than we're used to nowadays.
Remember James Bond? "No, it's an O-mee-ga." :-)

I just caught the movie yesterday and also saw a famous timepiece....
worn by Pacino's security tech chief in the computer room - he was wearing a Rolex Explorer II white dial.
