Original to James Bond Watches
From a storytelling perspective, these were successive James Bond watches overtly, implied to have been, or plausibly issued by Q Branch.
Common characteristics include the following.
- Performed in broad support of and without compromise to most common anticipated Double-O mission parameters.
- Presented appropriately in the widest practical range of circumstances commonly faced.
- Logically seemed of the sort that would be selected, acquired, and maintained through enterprise inventories.
- Consistent if not similar or identical in appearance.
- Type or series was featured in three or more motion pictures.
- Evolved (if at all) along a logical, measured, justifiable path, forward.
Equally important, they have proven horologically significant over time. Payoffs to the audiences are not just a further enhanced understanding of the fictional James Bond character by way of attire and equipment, but as entrées into one or more important advancements in the history of personal timekeeping.
