Richard Burton wears an unidentified watch

"Martha, in my mind you're buried in cement right up to the neck. No, up to the nose. That's much quieter." Richard Burton delivers lines like that all night in Mike Nichols' Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), adapted from Edward Albee's play about a history professor and his wife who spend an evening destroying each other in front of a younger couple. Burton plays George as a man who lost whatever academic ambitions he once had and replaced them with bourbon and the ability to wound. Elizabeth Taylor won the Oscar as Martha. George Segal and Sandy Dennis play Nick and Honey, the guests who came for drinks and got a masterclass in marital warfare.

The image shows Burton standing behind Segal and Taylor in the living room, but no watch is visible at this resolution. George's watch has not been identified. For a man described by his own wife as a bog in the history department, it would be something modest and probably old — the kind of watch you stop noticing you are wearing.
