Footnotes
It is around 2005 that Sir Michael Caine can first be seen wearing his black carbon fibre Traser wristwatch at promotional events. In particular this watch was worn by Sir Michael at the Batman Begins (2005) premiere in London, the premiere of the remake of Sleuth (2007) alongside Jude Law and Kenneth Branagh at the 64th Venice Film Festival and at the Paris premiere of Inception (2010). The brand Traser was first introduced in 1989 and supplied timepieces primarily to the US Army.
