Hi.
I just saw the film "The Fantastic Mr Fox" and was delighted to see a scene containing a variety of claymation vintage watches including an LED watch with red claymation numerals and a Casio style data bank calculator watch.
In the scene, Mr Fox and his contingent of woodland creatures prepare to launch an assault on a group of farmers with flaming pine cones and must first synchronize their watches. There's a quick 5 second clip where about 5 or 6 different vintage watches are gratuitously shown, quite realistically and beautifully depicted.
The film has a wonderful vintage feel along with a 60s/70s era soundtrack and other vintage-y items such as cars, transistor radios, household appliances etc. If you go to see the film, keep an eye out for the watches - maybe we can identify 'em!
