Angelina Jolie wears an unidentified watch

On Sway's wrist in Gone in Sixty Seconds there is a band of dark studded leather you would take for a bracelet. Angelina Jolie plays her, Sara Wayland, the bartender and mechanic in Memphis Raines's crew, and the only woman he pulls back in when he has to boost fifty cars in a single night to keep a British gangster named Calitri from killing his younger brother. Dominic Sena directed it in 2000 for Jerry Bruckheimer: fifty cars, each with a woman's code name, the prize a customized 1967 Shelby GT500 called Eleanor. Sway is the grease under the nails of all that chrome.

Most of what is known about the watch comes from a sale, not the screen. In 2026 Propstore auctioned Sway's screen-used accessories as a single lot, number 154, from the personal collection of prop master Mike Papac: four rings, two of them nods to her love of cars, a wrench bent into a bracelet, a screwdriver, a telescoping magnet, a tube of prop lipstick, and the leather cuff watch, packaged with the continuity Polaroid the wardrobe department shot to keep her jewelry matching from take to take. The estimate was two to four thousand dollars. The catalogue describes the watch only as a leather cuff watch and names no maker.

So the one thing on the wrist built to tell you something exact is the one the auction house cannot identify. Wardrobe cared enough to photograph the watch for continuity, and no one cared enough to record what it was. On screen it works as jewelry: Sway reads engines for a living and wears her tools, the wrench on her wrist and the watch beside it. Years later it sold for the wrist it once sat on, not for anything it could tell you about the time.
