Hi guys,

Has anyone had any luck IDing the cuff watches that appear the be the base of the new Spider-Man webshooters?

My eyes are bleeding from looking at watch after watch, and so I'm turning to you guys! A company called "Nemesis" makes several watches up this alley:

Each one I've seen is wrong in at least a few ways, though. Here are some specific features to keep an eye out for:

  • Round face with beveled edge
  • Wide winding post? It appears Parker may have put the nozzle where the winding post was...
  • Thin struts leading to the pin that holds the band on, looking down at the face
  • Thinner bands loop through watch, fold back on themselves, and are riveted down
  • Rounded edges on the leather cuff, with stitching close to the edge

Of course, there's always a chance that these were custom-made or heavily modified. I have a feeling that there's a found-item base, though... And knowing hollywood wardrobe departments it will be an inappropriately (for the character, who is perpetually broke) expensive designer label.

Any info or insights you guys might have would be VERY much appreciated! Thanks in advance,

- Douglas
 
The comic-con footage showed Peter building these in his bedroom, including his first test firing, but the scenes were edited together pretty quickly. There was at least one good close up if the footage can be found.
 
Hi there,

It's been five years since your original post, so this response could be entirely worthless, butI figure I'll try anyways :D

First off, the movie's Costume Featurette (here's a link to it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTaMlBYnYpk) shows the watch cuffs being hand-made by a costume designer. This tells us that at the very least, the cuff bands themselves were made custom for the movie.

As for the watch face piece, I have no idea. It could have been custom made for the movie as well.

I wanted to ask you, did your searching ever yield any watch/watch band similar to the one used in the movie? I have looked a bit but every commercial cuff watch looks far different from this one.

Thanks (if you're even reading this :p)!
Jim
