Watches

Raymond Weil watch: Rachel Gold measures how far Jonathan Wolf has come from his prosecutor days by his clothes: a chalkstripe double-breasted suit, gold double-knot cufflinks, a silk rep tie, a gold Raymond Weil watch and kiltie loafers, with only his embroidered yarmulke left over from the old wardrobe. The maker is named; the model is not.

Source text: He was wearing a superbly tailored charcoal chalkstripe double-breasted suit with cuffed and pleated trousers, a crisp blue pinstripe cotton shirt with gold double-knot cufflinks, a bold multistripe silk rep tie, a gold Raymond Weil watch, and cordovan kiltie moc loafers.
