Watches
- Timex watch
- Earline, still wearing her wedding ring, arrives in a cheap white knit dress with a Timex in place of the jewel-encrusted Piaget she used to wear, which tells the narrator how far her circumstances have fallen. The maker is named; the model is not.
Source text: the real giveaway was the Timex watch that had replaced the old jewel-encrusted Piaget on her wrist. (Douglas Kiker, Death Below Deck, scan cataloged as Random House, 1991, p. 68; Internet Archive scan OCR)
- Piaget (unidentified model)
- The jewel-encrusted Piaget is recalled rather than worn: the narrator notes that the Timex has replaced it on Earline's wrist. The maker is named; the model is not.
