Joyce Carol Oates's 2004 novel begins in 1950 with a bridegroom, the Reverend Gilbert Erskine, throwing himself into Niagara Falls the morning after his wedding, and follows his widow Ariah through the decades that follow. His watch is on his wrist to the end. (Open Library)
Watches
- Bulova (unidentified model)
- On his last morning Gilbert Erskine takes the fire stairs by the Bulova watch, a gift from his proud parents when he graduated top of his class at the Albany Theological Seminary, which he has not failed to strap on even now; hours earlier, by his gold Bulova nearing five o'clock, he had knelt on the bathroom floor to pray. The text gives the maker and the gold case, not a model.
