Elgin tonneau dress watch
More actions
An Elgin gold tonneau dress watch is worn by Timothée Chalamet as Marty Mauser in Marty Supreme (2025): a small, hand-wound American dress watch in a tonneau (barrel-shaped) 10-karat gold case from the late 1940s or early 1950s, the period when Elgin was still one of the largest watch manufacturers in the United States. Property master Michael Jortner reportedly presented around fifteen vintage candidates before he and costume designer Miyako Bellizzi settled on the Elgin, which spotting coverage identifies as the likely reference 6728A, unconfirmed against a case back or archival record. (Something About Rocks) Elgin ceased production in 1968, and a modest gold-cased Elgin of this vintage signals quiet, department-store aspiration rather than wealth, the note the production wanted for a table-tennis hustler on the make.
