About
I have been a watch enthusiast for a number of years. I’ve bought, sold, traded watches with numerous people all over the world. I read watch forums, watch magazines and go to watch meets. Yes, I enjoy watches. I also rather enjoy watching movies and television. Given my passion for watches it was only natural that I would try to spot them in whatever movie or show I was watching.
In 2006 I started taking screen captures of watches from movies and posting them on my blog. Very quickly, it became a bigger task to manage than I had expected as I began to receive screen captures from other members of the watch community. So, in late 2007 I launched this site, watchesinmovies.info.
Initially the site had a blog, a gallery and forum, but it was just too much. I scrapped the forum and blog and was running with Coppermine photo gallery. But, while Coppermine is a fine tool, I just wasn’t as happy with it as I wanted to be. In October 2009 the format switched back to a blog format using WordPress, with which I am quite comfortable.
How to submit a screen capture
If you have a screen cap of a watch from movies, television or another source that you would like to submit, email it to admin@watchesinmovies.info. Please include as much information as you can, at least the title and the character or actor wearing the watch.

Hi there,
I came across your web site a few months ago. It’s excellent. I set up a similar site back in 1998 but without the screen captures. I have little time in maintaining my site these days and compared with your site, mine is pretty lame. I do have a lot of titles listed, though, all movies seen by me. I welcome you track those films down and listed them on your site, there are wristwatch gems out there.
So all the best and regards,
Ed Heliosz
@ Ed,
Thanks, Ed. When I originally started this site back in 2007 I recall coming across yours, I probably still have it bookmarked.
I’ll be sure to use it as a reference where possible.
Thanks for the note,

Hi, I have this watch you know… Its brand is unknown… at least for me it is. But I am quite sure this model was in somekind of a movie, probably from the 80′s and I’d like to get some info about it… can’t remember the movie neither the model number is there to be found.
As you are in that business, maybe you can help me out.

Hi,
Finally found your site, knew something had to be out there on the internet. Thanks for this.
My mission is to find out the watch of Dicky Greenleaf in Talented mr Ripley, nobody seems to know up to now.
One remark: Girard Perregaux is spelled wrongly on this site (Girard Perreagux is wrong ofcourse)
Best

@Wainando: Glad you enjoy the site! And thanks for the catch, it’s been misspelled for a long time and no one noticed!
How about Will Arnett (GOB Bluth) in Arrested Development Season 2?
I just saw the movie Expendables. In it Stalone is wearing a Luminox watch. You can see the name Luminox on it. I can’t find it listed anywhere on the net what watch is it.
Hi there,
I recently looked for a website that lists the brands and models of watches which actors wear in movies – and here I am!
Keep up the good work.
