WristScan

. . . is live! Let's share some of our favorites along with the watch currently on our wrist. As noted earlier, my favorite scene from any film is when Hardy Kruger acknowledges he's only a model airplane designer in Flight of the Phoenix. An outstanding ...  

...  

. . . James Bond! You've got his watch! Don't deny it . . . Dr No knows all!

I absolutely love the way this one has aged.

Finding the stills from movies displaying the chosen watch 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

and my watch/movie selection. The Thomas Crown Affair With Pierce Brosnan is one of my favorite movies, if it is on I'll watch it. In the movie he wore a Reverso which was featured often, if I remember correctly the logo had been removed. But to those of ...  

. . . in the original Thomas Crown Affair , also wore a shaped watch. I wonder if the director of the later version with Brosnan was aware of that. Cool TAG! Thanks for sharing, Thomas. ...  

Cheers! Abel

Not that there’s anything wrong with a round watch 😉

Both films are favorite of mine too, though I have an special fondness for the first version though Brosnan played it so well. Hagwe, Abel

The Thomas Crown Affair With Pierce Brosnan was very good.

what it is about that movie for me. I have it on disc and used to take it to the office and play it in the background while working once in a while.

Good evening Dr No. Like many of a certain age, a favourite bit of escapism as a teenager was Magnum PI. In “Home From the Sea” our hero is knocked of his surf ski and ends up having to tread water for a whole episode! The watch on his wrist however GOT m...  

. . . of recent times. Believe it or not, Steve McQueen was slated to do Quigley Down Under . . . . . . but Selleck made it his own magnum opus . Art

Just realising my post was off topic being TV rather than Cinema. Been a long week. 😀

. . . these days, it's hard to tell where cinema ends . . . . . . and television begins. ...  

The cool 308 GTS ! ...  

Always intrigued me too! ...  

. . . and we'll all have a good laugh!

Is his car a GTS (Targa version) ?

. . . and will check if it's a Targa.

The only thing still to check is if you have a suitable mustache 🥸👌🏻👍🏻

played in “The sting”. Paul Newman and Robert Shaw epic duel. The sting Now the watch. Great weekend. ...  

. . . The Sting when it was released in '73, never since. Thanks for clip! I'd forgotten that scene . . .

More to come, dear Art. ...  

. . . Apocalypse Now when it was released, but only bits and pieces since on cable TV. It's a strenuous film to watch beginning to end. A masterpiece, to be sure, with several memorable scenes, foremost being . . . . . . Duvall's. Art

Thanks Dr. No. Bill beat me to the punch with the classic Sub / lighter scene. I will do the honors for the more recent Bond: ...  

. . . for the introduction of the latest Bond Seamaster. How can anyone go wrong with the greatest film franchise ever, much less the most identifiable movie watch ever? ...  

Is a great Seamaster with many superb design detail and an excellent movement.

Elegant and purposeful and love the dial.

HEAT ...  

. . . from Heat than in most war films. 😱

Good to be in the cinema Art. We all have favorite scenes in movies, actresses, actors, and directors. An open door with Bond fans, the ones who plays Bond are the favorites. I am not a real Bond follower, as i let say like more to watch the deer hunter. ... 

. . . is a certified genius. Thanks for sharing, Weems! Best, Art

Here are three of my favorites: As for the watch I’m wearing: However, given my choices of movies, perhaps these are more appropriate: By the way, Arthur-I hadn’t participated in Wristscan since Halloween, 2021-until a couple weeks ago. Your themes seem t...  

It’s a real joy seeing you here 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m sorry to have to inform you that pterodactyls are extinct everywhere but on Instagram. How they survived there is beyond me.

. . . The Third Man has the most poignant ending . . . . . . of any film in my experience other than Last Holiday . I get the chills every time.

Graham Greene wrote the screenplay, and a novella to help himself set the tone. In the novella and original screenplay Anna and Holly walk off together, arm in arm. And that’s the way Greene and producer David Selznick wanted the movie to end. Carol Reed ... 

... as I´m fond of Bogart films. That GP rattraopante is fabulous! Hagwe, Abel

The book by Graham Greene was a fine piece of work and a classic film that is now part of social history. Good choice and nice shot to accompany it.

. . . especially . . . . . . The Man Who Skied Down Everest. Coincidentally, a photo taken by yours truly ended up in a documentary. Fast-forward to 23' 52". I originally posted that photo of Miguel on WPS ten years ago. When Miguel passed away his son as... 

But Eva Marie Saint was better! Here's a scene from another Hitchcock classic, Dial M for Murder, where Ray Milland's character has tried to murder his wife, acted by the sublime Grace Kelly, but it has backfired and the police inspector, played by John W...  

Classics, indeed.

. . . had nothing whatsoever to do with your choice of wristwear.

I'm just rotating through my watches

Hello Art and friends ! This week on WristScan my choice is the classic Top Gun, what a great film from recent times and a winner at the Oscars this year. Only one watch could make the it to Mav’s wrist … Hey Goose, let’s go ! .. Mav, bogies three coming ...  

I absolutely loved your photos, especially the ones from Apocalypse Now, a film that still resonates me. ...  

... honoring this amazing classic movie. Thank you for your kind comments, Hagwe! Abel

. . . Top Gun: Maverick yet, but I can already tell . . . . . . it's my kinda movie! 👍

. . . can be located in the introductory thread. Apparently he was celebrating St Patrick's Day a little too seriously and consequently replied in the wrong thread. I had one too many yesterday, too. ...  

Even if you’re not a Celt.

Some time ago I made the same mistake !

I finally decided to re post in the right place my post after my head cleared. Lol!! Have a nice weekend dear friend. Cheers! Abel

Photos from the movie itself, but pulled from photos from Hondinki article, 'Watching Movies George Clooney Shows Off His Omega Speedmaster In 'The American'' (2022). Below was my favourite watch scene in the movie. And a shot of my own with its bracelet ...  

. . . The American , but your second frame reminds me of this scene . . . . . . from Day of the Jackal. "More Campari?" Priceless!

The American - Movie Clip - Mathilde

. . . The American likely studied The Day of the Jackal closely. Thanks for sharing the clip!

All the classics - and associated watch spotting in Apocalypse Now , Bond and Top Gun seem to have been taken , so thought would post some recent movies that I loved ( or rather their linked watches ) 🙂 Benedict Cumberbatch sports a Jaeger Le Coulture Ult...  

Have a nice weekend. Best, Abel

Guaranteed that you will have a great time if you watch the whole movie , it’s one of the funniest comedies in recent times 🙂

From Powell and Pressburger ! Following just after Stairway to Heaven and before the Red Shoes if I’m not wrong 🤔. This was an extraordinarily productive time in their careers where they fired off one marvel after another though I believe Powell kept at i... 

All the movies listed by the participants are great exemples of art, as are the presented watches. My contribution will be the choice of Batman aka Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s great trilogy. . With a bit of champagne to enjoy the Sunday sun. ...  

After I found your post I enjoyed your wonderful selection of watches and movies. A great mix of classic, art and history.
