Watches

Gucci (unidentified model): Sasha wakes at 3:33 a.m. from a dream in which her new convertible is stolen from a supermarket lot, and again at seven-thirty to her alarm. Showered and put together, she leaves her condo with her briefcase in a navy blue business suit and matching pumps, her fine black hair pinned up with the front teased, and a fashionable Gucci watch as the accessory to the outfit, and drives to Virginia City National Bank, where she holds the title of bank manager; a man in a blue sedan tries his luck at the first red light. The maker is named; the model is not.
