Reggie Baker has a small role as Judge Fullbright in The Lincoln Lawyer (2011), Brad Furman's adaptation of Michael Connelly's novel, presiding over the trial of Ryan Phillippe's Louis Roulet as Matthew McConaughey's Mickey Haller runs the defense. The watch attributed to the judge is a Movado Museum, but it is not clearly visible on screen and the identification traces to a single uncorroborated spot, so it stays an open attribution rather than a confirmed one.
The Museum is one of the few wristwatch dials that actually hangs in a museum. Nathan George Horwitt designed it in 1947 around a single gold dot at twelve, marking the sun at high noon, with no numerals and no other markers. The Museum of Modern Art took the design into its permanent collection in 1960, and Movado has reworked it ever since.
One page-to-screen note worth keeping: the screenplay describes the judge as a woman, named Helen Fullbright. The film gave the robe to Reggie Baker instead.
