Watches
- Timex watch
- Disguised as an ordinary woman in denim skirt and sneakers for her Washington Square meeting with John Smith, Alex keeps glancing at the cheap Timex she bought that morning at the corner drugstore in place of her gold Baume & Mercier. The maker is named; the model is not.

(Lynn Erickson, Dancing in the Dark, scan cataloged as Harlequin Books, 1994, p. 91; the Archive's OCR renders the second maker's name as "Merrier", Google Books' text of the same passage reads "Mercier"; Internet Archive scan OCR)
- Baume & Mercier watch
- Alex's everyday watch is a gold Baume & Mercier, left at home for the meeting because it would not fit her disguise; it is named only as the watch the drugstore Timex replaces. The maker is named; the model is not.
