Timex watch
More actions
A Timex watch is a watch made by the American company tracing to the Waterbury Clock Company of 1854; U.S. Time debuted its inexpensive Timex mechanical watch in 1959, the family-level date recorded here, and renamed itself Timex Corporation in 1969. (Timex) Cataloged appearances span decades and both real Timex watches and production props built to resemble one: Julien's Auctions, consigning from the estate of property master Michael Milgrom, identifies a gold-tone digital Timex most likely handed to John Belushi's Jake Blues on his release from prison in The Blues Brothers; Propstore, consigning from the personal collection of prop master Mike Papac, describes a nonfunctional prop with a date window built to resemble a Timex on Danny Glover's wrist in Lethal Weapon 3; Heritage Auctions documents a silver-toned Timex worn by Robert Redford throughout An Unfinished Life; and the family also includes the gold-colored Timex Propstore attributes to Gillian Anderson in Hannibal. (Julien's Auctions; Propstore; Heritage Auctions; Propstore) Propstore also documents the "real-world vintage classic gold Timex quartz watch" on a gold-plated president bracelet that Glover's Roger Murtaugh wears in the first Lethal Weapon, again from Mike Papac's collection, and the stainless stretch-band Timex with a push-button blue backlight Zac Efron wears in Dirty Grandpa.

Two further Propstore lots name only the brand: the "silver-colour Timex watch" Ed O'Neill's Al Bundy wears in the Married... with Children episode "Born to Walk", and the steel Timex on a green nylon strap Jennifer Lawrence's Lynsey wears through Causeway. (Propstore; Propstore)
