The still on this record is the watch doing its job: Mark's wrist turned up mid-scene, a white dial with big blue numerals under a chrome bezel, WENGER printed on the dial, a day-date window at three. Ian Samuels' The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021) is a teenage time-loop romance, with Mark (Kyle Allen) reliving the same day until he meets a girl caught in the same loop, and Propstore's catalogue note for the screen-used watch describes the routine: "Mark regularly checked his watch throughout the film to see if he was still stuck in a perpetual time loop and in various promotional materials."
The watch itself crossed the block at Propstore in March 2024, catalogued as "designed by production to resemble a real-world Wenger Avenger men's wristwatch," with a black leather band with white stitching, a chrome buckle and bezel, and leather cracked from wear. The analog face is stopped at 11:25 on a dead battery. It was offered at a hundred-dollar starting bid with no reserve, estimated at one to two hundred dollars. Wenger, the watch's real-world model, is the Delemont knife house that split the Swiss Army knife contract with Victorinox from 1908 and has made watches under its own name since 1988, a year before Victorinox started.
