Watches

Unidentified pocket watch

Worn by Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch. Atticus carries a pocket watch in a jetted pocket of his three-piece suit's waistcoat, on a double-Albert chain run through a hole beside the third button. When Scout asks to see it at bedtime she opens the cover to read the inscription "To Atticus, my beloved husband," a gift from his late wife, and the shot shows a round white dial with Roman numerals and a seconds sub-dial at 6 o'clock. BAMF Style's breakdown of Atticus's suits describes the watch in that detail; no maker is visible. (BAMF Style)
