Magnolia (1999)

Magnolia

Magnolia, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, was released by New Line Cinema in December 1999. The film interweaves a single day in the lives of several San Fernando Valley residents, including Julianne Moore's Linda Partridge, the guilt-stricken young wife of a dying television producer played by Jason Robards.

Watches

Oris Classic Pointer Day

Worn by Julianne Moore as Linda Partridge. Montres de Luxe identifies Linda's watch as a rectangular Oris, described as "Oris Classic Rectangulaire." No exact Oris model of that name is documented; the description most plausibly matches the rectangular-cased Oris Classic line contemporaneous with the film. (Montres de Luxe) No exact model is confirmed, so the row links the maker's brand page rather than a named Oris line.

Timex Expedition

Worn by Tom Cruise as Frank T.J. Mackey. Two Propstore lots of Frank Mackey's screen-used watch, from the London 2023 and London 2024 live auctions (November 2023 and November 2024), describe the same model: "a Timex Expedition Indiglo WR-30M compass watch with a custom leather strap", the earlier lot adding "a 24-hour clock face and a light brown resin compass turn-dial edge" and placing it on Cruise's wrist through the "Seduce and Destroy" seminar. Timex sold the compass-bezel Expedition under several catalog numbers and neither essay gives one, so the model is confirmed by the lots, not by a frame, and the reference is unresolved.
