Matthew McConaughey wears an unidentified watch

Matthew McConaughey plays Willis Newton in The Newton Boys, the leader of four brothers who became the most successful bank robbers in American history during the 1920s. Richard Linklater directed this 1998 crime film, which treats the Newtons as clever professionals rather than violent outlaws. They robbed over eighty banks across Texas and the Midwest without killing anyone, and their biggest heist was a mail train robbery that netted millions. McConaughey plays Willis as a charmer who sees bank robbery as a reasonable career path for poor Texas boys with limited options. The film has a loose, episodic feel that matches the Newton gang's approach: hit a bank, move on, enjoy the money, repeat. His watch has not been identified.
