Max Minghella wears an unidentified watch

Ben Harpen is the other press aide on Governor Morris's campaign, the one who does the same job as Stephen Meyers but without the ego. Max Minghella plays him in George Clooney's The Ides of March (2011) as a quiet, competent staffer who keeps his head down while the principals scheme around him. He's the kind of campaign worker who shows up early, stays late, and never gets a movie made about his ambitions. The film gives Minghella limited screen time, but he registers — particularly in scenes where he sits alongside Gosling in ballrooms and hotel lobbies, dressed identically, doing the same work for less credit.

In this image, Minghella sits next to Gosling at what appears to be a campaign event, both in dark suits. A gold-toned watch is visible on his left wrist, with what looks like a light dial on a leather strap. It's a step warmer than Gosling's steel piece — a small detail that might suggest different taste or different background, though both watches say the same thing: I'm serious about this job. The make and model haven't been identified.
