I love spotting watches in movies, and there were a few of interest in Iron Man, which I saw last night. To tell you right away, the watch that Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.'s character in Iron Man) wore that received the most screen time is very new, and I could not get an image of it to you show, though I will describe it. I was able to get pictures of all the watches, check them out below. The movie by the way was very well done. Perhaps not as much action as I would have liked, but Jon Favreau did a great job bringing a very different type of superhero to the big screen in a way that did not destroy the franchise. Notable elements are the attempt to make the process of building the Iron Man suit more realistic by displaying the development along with testing of the suit, and the ability of Tony Stark to publicly announce his role as Iron Man, in comparison to most heroes who keep such things secret. Another item of interest; Robert Downey Jr. wears his watches on his right wrist, while most wear it on the left wrist. This might mean that he is left handed, or has a particular preference for that wrist. You author (being left-handed), still wears his watches on his left wrist. The world does hate us lefties.
Oh, and for your car buffs, didn't you like seeing the various Audi autos in the movie? Obviously another sponsorship, I am just happy that it didn't come from GM. I would have died a little inside to see Tony Stark driving a Pontiac Solstice, or heaven forbid a Saturn Sky. Jon Favreau is NOT Michael Bay, and that is a wonderful thing. Tony Stark rides around in an Audi R8. A new silver Audi A5/S5 is shown a bit, and Iron Man saves a black Audi Q7 from being destroyed.
