File:The Prisoner (1967) - Camerer Cuss & Co. watch scene.jpg

Summary

Description: Patrick McGoohan (Number Six) holds up and examines his Camerer Cuss & Co. dress watch at the Village watchmaker's shop in "It's Your Funeral," where he has brought it believing it has stopped. This is an insert close-up from the same repair-shop scene as the episode's watch-swap plot: earlier in the episode, Number 100 (Mark Eden) switches Number Six's watch for an apparently-broken duplicate during their weekly kosho bout, and Number Six, not yet aware of the swap, takes the watch to the watchmaker (Martin Miller) for repair. The frame is corroborated independently by Wikipedia's synopsis of the episode ("Number 100 attends Number Six's weekly kosho workout and replaces his watch with an identical broken one. Number Six believes his timepiece has stopped and takes it for repair"), and by on-screen dialogue at this point in the transfer ("Good afternoon." / "It's, er, stopped." / "Just be a moment." / "It's all right now."). The watch is held between fingers rather than worn on the wrist in this shot, an insert close-up, not a wrist shot, but per editorial standards an examined/handled watch satisfies visible presence as fully as a worn one; the actor and character fields describe Number Six's ownership of the watch in this scene, not a wrist shot this frame does not contain. The watch's round steel case, cream dial, gold non-numeric hour markers, three gold hands, and black leather strap are all clearly resolved at this frame's native resolution. A curved two-line inscription is visible above the hands near 10 o'clock, consistent in position with BAMF Style's description of a "small brand inscription against the top of the dial" reading "Camerer Cuss & Co.", but individual letters are not crisply legible at this transfer's resolution/bitrate, the inscription is discernible as text, not independently readable from this frame alone. Native-resolution frame (720x560) extracted from a higher-resolution archival transfer of the episode than the file this replaces (494x384); no letterboxing or pillarboxing is present in this shot (confirmed via ffmpeg cropdetect across the surrounding seconds), so no crop was needed or applied.
