Watches
- Timex (unidentified model)
- Jennings Vaughan, a crewcut man who signs his hotel bill in a schoolboy hand, steps out into a London morning and glances at his watch, a Timex with a flexible silver band: ten-thirty. A cab takes him to Mr Cross, who runs a security office for the German-owned Heller Group (pp. 17 to 19). He studies it ostentatiously while Guido Leary makes an appeal (p. 137), checks it beside his Walther at 11:40 on July 9 (p. 261) and on a bench in Washington Square Park (p. 277). The maker is named; the model is not.
