"The James Bond Watches Exhibit"

December 17, 2013 - December 2014

James Bond's watches have returned to the National Watch & Clock Museum for another exclusive display throughout 2014.

And with it, a number of firsts to make it the most spectacular presentation yet.

Thanks to ongoing support of Fionn Morgan and family heirs, this exhibit once again features the original literary James Bond watch: Ian Fleming's Rolex Explorer from 1960.

This time it's displayed with the actual Breitling for Bentley Chronograph worn by continuation author Jeffery Deaver as his James Bond's wristwatch in "Carte Blanche" (2011).

We are also pleased to announce exclusive identification and display of the very first movie-Bond watch model, a Gruen Precision, worn by Sean Connery as Agent 007 in "Dr No" (1962).

Bookending this "alpha" is the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra model placed in the latest James Bond movie, "Skyfall," starring Daniel Craig.

This opening made history with its presentation of all now-seven-known James Bond watch brands: Breitling, Gruen, Hamilton, Omega, Rolex, Seiko, and TAG Heuer. 

Look for a few other exclusives here as well. Welcome to the world of James Bond's watches!
