Watches

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille

Worn by Pierce Brosnan as Thomas Crown. Crown casually flips the Reverso's case in his chauffeured car. Brosnan was under contract to Omega at the time, so the film never names the brand.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso

Worn by Pierce Brosnan as Thomas Crown. An early beat has Crown draw back his suit sleeve to reveal the Reverso, the reversible-cased dress watch devised in the 1930s so polo players could swivel the crystal out of harm's way. Close-ups show a stripped dial: the Jaeger-LeCoultre name and Reverso signature were removed for the film, generally attributed to Brosnan's standing contract with Omega. The model is secure at the Reverso level while the exact variant stays open. (Quill & Pad; From Tailors With Love)
