Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's 2016 debut novel follows the four Plumb siblings of New York as the joint trust fund they have banked on, the Nest, is drained to cover the eldest brother's accident. Jack Plumb's marriage to Walker carries one of the book's watches. (Wikipedia)
Watches
- Cartier Tank
- Walker presents the watch on his wrist, a rare 1940s Cartier Tank in perfect condition that was Jack's wedding gift to him. It had cost a small fortune Walker knows nothing about, and after Leo's accident drains the Nest, Jack finds himself mentally pricing everything they own, the Tank and the wedding included. The text gives the model line and the decade, not a reference.
