Watches in TV Shows and Films: Character-by-Character Guides
Watches in TV Shows and Films: Character-by-Character Guides
Watches make or break a character. This series goes character by character through the watches worn in notable TV shows and films, labels how well each one is documented, and corrects the myths that spread online. Each guide links into our brand and model histories and shows indicative US prices.
The guides
- James Bond Watches
Every watch worn by 007, from Ian Fleming's Rolex to No Time to Die, with the myths corrected and the new Omega Bond and Spectre editions. The guide that started the series. - Succession Watches
The best-documented show: Kendall's Richard Mille and Nautilus, Tom's Cartier-to-Audemars Piguet rise, Greg's Rolex GMT, and why most of the watches are reportedly replicas. - Mad Men Watches
Don's Omega DeVille, Roger's Tudor and Pete's Hamilton, sourced from the vintage dealer who supplied the props, plus the Jaeger-LeCoultre tribute and the Accutron pitch. - Billions Watches
Axe's Audemars Piguets and Cartier, Taylor's Patek 5270 purchase and the Bremont, with every identification labelled and the evidence gaps spelled out. - Suits Watches
Harvey's Patek, and the actor's own statement that Harvey rarely wore a watch, plus Mike's Timex and Hamilton, Louis's Omega and Rachel's Cartier. - The Gentlemen Watches
Eddie's Patek Nautilus, Uncle Stan's collection and the Patek 1518 scene, plus the costume designer's £6 million of borrowed watches. - MobLand Watches
Tom Hardy's Rolex GMT-Master II, Pierce Brosnan's and Helen Mirren's Omega Constellations and Kevin's Hublot, with the source conflicts flagged. - Severance Watches
The text-free Bijouone worn inside Lumon and Mark Scout's Vostok Komandirskie, and why the no-watches-in-Lumon claim is wrong. - Bosch Watches
Harry's Rolex Submariner, the Casios around him, Ballard's F-105W and the stolen Omega that drives Bosch: Legacy season 2. - Your Friends & Neighbors Watches
Coop's Cartier, the stolen Patek Nautilus and Richard Mille, and the Daytona he gives his son in the season 1 finale.
How we label the evidence
Every watch is marked Confirmed when a costume or prop department, the brand or the show said so, or several reputable outlets agree and cite a source, and Reported when one reputable outlet or database names it. We leave out fan speculation, say when sources disagree, and note when a show reportedly used replicas.
Coming next
Yellowstone is on hold because we could not find verifiable watch identifications. For movies, see our Watches in Films hub. More shows are in research. If there is a series you want covered, our full library of brand and model histories and buying guides is the best place to continue.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the Watches in TV Shows guides?
A series of character-by-character guides to the watches worn in notable TV shows and films, each labelled by how well the watch is documented.
How do you decide a watch is confirmed?
A watch is labelled Confirmed when a costume or prop department, the brand or the show said so, or multiple reputable outlets agree and cite a source. A single reputable outlet gives Reported. Fan speculation is left out.
Are the watches on screen real?
Often not. Productions regularly use replicas, especially for very expensive watches, so we describe watches as depicted rather than worn where reports say so.
Which TV show has the best-documented watches?
Succession, where the prop master and Hodinkee's consultant have discussed the choices, followed by Mad Men.
Are prices in the guides current?
They are indicative US-dollar figures from retailers and market trackers, dated October 11, 2026, so check current listings before buying.
