The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

The Talented Mr. Ripley

Anthony Minghella's sun-drenched identity thriller. In late 1950s New York, a young underachiever named Tom Ripley is sent to Italy to retrieve Dickie Greenleaf, a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy. But when the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures. (IMDb)

Watches

Swanson quartz watch

Worn by Jude Law as Dickie Greenleaf. Against every expectation, the playboy heir wears a cheap Swanson quartz on mesh rather than a Rolex, and a quartz watch in the 1950s is its own little anachronism.

Hamilton Ardmore

Worn by Matt Damon as Tom Ripley. Hamilton's historical film-credit page lists Matt Damon's Tom Ripley as wearing an Ardmore, without specifying which execution. (Hamilton) Montres de Luxe independently identifies the same Ardmore. (Montres de Luxe) As Ripley leans over the table opposite Dickie, his left wrist exposes a rectangular gold-tone case and pale face on a dark leather strap; the frame does not resolve the exact execution.
