Margin Call (2011)

Margin Call

J.C. Chandor's financial thriller. Over one overnight scramble at a Wall Street investment bank, a young risk analyst's discovery of a catastrophic exposure sets off a chain of increasingly desperate decisions among the firm's traders and executives. Kevin Spacey stars with Zachary Quinto, Paul Bettany, and Jeremy Irons. (IMDb)

Porsche Design Dashboard P6612

IWC Portugieser Chronograph

Worn by Kevin Spacey as Sam Rogers. Rogers spends the night arguing against selling the firm's book to its own clients, and does it wearing an IWC Portuguese Chronograph, probably the 40.9 mm reference 3714 generation on IWC's reworked Valjoux 7750. The film never holds the dial long enough to separate IW371447 from its siblings. The line carried the Portuguese name throughout the film's 2011 release and did not become the Portugieser worldwide until 2015. (Commit Ginza)

Rolex Submariner

Worn by Simon Baker as Jared Cohen. Cohen is the divisional head who never raises his voice and never loses an argument, and he wears a chunky gold Submariner with a blue suit and an Hermès tie, a dive watch on a man who will not be diving. That is the point of it on a trading floor: the Submariner stopped being equipment and became the standard-issue bonus watch, worn precisely because everyone in the room can price it. The frame does not resolve which gold reference. Montres de Luxe corroborates the sighting and adds that the case and bracelet are two-tone steel and gold with a blue dial, consistent with the Rolesor Submariner Date line, though it likewise stops short of a reference number.
