Miriam Petchein wears an unidentified watch

Miriam Petchein appears in Industry, the HBO and BBC series set inside the London investment bank Pierpoint & Co, in a scene played out where two colleagues square off and a third stands between them. Industry built its whole look on this: open-plan desks, glass offices, and the small status objects, watches included, that mark where everyone stands in the bank's pecking order.

The watch in the frame sits on a wrist at the edge of a tense exchange, a dark strap and a small case caught in a wide shot, but the dial never turns to the camera and no maker reads out of it. With the watch unlit and side-on, the brand stays unidentified.

Industry is a show where the wristwatch is rarely an accident, chosen by the costume team to mark who has arrived and who is still pretending. This one keeps its own counsel, a piece of background precision in a series that usually wants you to clock exactly what is on the wrist.
