Steve Coogan wears a Blancpain

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon drive through Italy in a small convertible, eat at expensive restaurants, needle each other about whose career is going better, and trade dueling impressions of Michael Caine and Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. That is The Trip to Italy, Michael Winterbottom's 2014 sequel, with both men playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Winterbottom shot it as six hour-long television episodes and cut them into a feature, and the two improvised most of the talk, so the film keeps slipping between documentary and performance.

On Coogan's wrist, through the meals and the driving, sits what looks like a Blancpain, and that is about as far as the watch will go. It never sits still or clear enough to read a model, a dress watch glimpsed across restaurant tables and never given a close-up. There is a small joke in that. When the Guardian ran a piece on the film's holiday menswear, it singled out Coogan's Ray-Bans and his Birkenstocks and said nothing at all about the watch. Whatever is on his wrist, it was quiet enough that the people paid to notice clothes looked right past it.
