Watches
- Timex Classic Digital T78582
- Worn by Will Smith as Chris Gardner. Gardner's Timex T78582 (a cheap digital on a brushed steel expansion band) reads as aspiration made wearable: a basic movement given just enough of an office look for a man dressing as who he intends to become. Identified by watch spotters. (Watchreel) The bus-stop photograph shows Gardner beside his son, hands clasped with the watch at the edge of his suit sleeve. Its small digital case and metal band fit the office clothes he wears in this setting. The image records that contrast without demonstrating his motives for choosing the watch. (scene image)
