In their desire to increase sales of their products, companies are increasingly turning to relatively new forms of advertising, such as product placement. That is why, when watching many movies, you can see the symbols of many brands.
Watchmakers also think in the same way. In exchange for payment, their products appear on the wrists of movie heroes. This type of advertising encourages many people to buy. This is not unusual, because, for example, it is difficult to find a man who does not want to become at least partially James Bond.
However, not all devices attract the same amount of attention. That's why we have prepared for you a list of ten watches that impressed viewers with their appearance. Among them were watches that could be seen in a wide variety of films - from dramas to science fiction.
