You know what? I saw that movie, what’s it called? Tenet. That one with the time going backwards and forwards. My grandson took me to see it. I didn’t understand half of it, but those watches they wore, those were somethin’ else. Big and sturdy lookin’. They say they are Hamilton watches. Fancy name, huh? I hear they call these ones the BeLOWZERO. Sounds like a cold day in January, if you ask me.
These watches, they ain’t like the ones you see at the market. These are special, they say. Made from, uh, titanium? Something like that. Light as a feather, my grandson says, but tough as nails. Good for those fellas in the movie, running around, saving the world and such. They need a good watch, that’s for sure. You can’t be savin’ the world with a watch that breaks easy. I remember my old man used to have a pocket watch. It was always breaking, he would always get mad about it.
They got two kinds, these Tenet wristwatches. One with a little red on the second hand, you know, that little hand that goes tick-tick-tick real fast. The other one’s got blue on it. Like the sky on a clear day, or maybe like that blue tarp old man Johnson uses to cover his hay. Either way, they both look pretty good, I guess. Not that I’d wear one. Too big for my old wrist. Besides I do not have money to buy that.
I heard these watches are in a whole bunch of movies, not just this Tenet one. Over 500, they say! That’s a lot of movies. Guess these Hamilton folks know what they’re doin’. Makin’ watches for the movies. Must be a good business. Better than selling chickens, that’s for sure. Chickens are a lot of work, let me tell you. And they don’t always lay eggs when you want ’em to.
- These Tenet wristwatches, they’re special, you see.
- They come in two kinds, one with red, one with blue.
- They’re made of that… titanium stuff. Light but strong.
- They’re in a bunch of movies, not just Tenet.
- They cost a lot of money. More than I can make sellin’ eggs all year.
Now, these watches, they ain’t cheap. My grandson told me how much they cost. I nearly fell out of my chair! More than two thousand dollars! For a watch! You could buy a whole flock of chickens for that kind of money. Or a new plow. Or a whole lot of other things. But folks like those movie stars, they got money to burn, I suppose. They can buy all the fancy watches they want. Some people spend a lot of money for a jacket. They can buy a whole lot of jackets with that amount of money. But I guess the protagonist needs to have a good jacket. Just like the watch, right?
They only made a few of these special Tenet watches. Eight hundred and eighty-eight, I think my grandson said. That’s not a lot, considering how many people there are in the world. So if you want one, you better have a lot of money and be real quick about it. Like a fox sneakin’ into the henhouse. I saw a lot of foxes in my life, but I’ve never seen that many watches. It’s a lot.
I saw some fella on that computer box, talkin’ about these watches. He was sayin’ his watch was runnin’ too fast. Like it was in a hurry to get somewhere. Well, for that much money, it better tell the time right! You don’t want a watch that’s faster than a greased piglet at the county fair. If you ask me, a watch should be accurate.
Anyways, these Tenet wristwatches, they’re somethin’ else. Fancy, expensive, and in the movies. Not somethin’ you see every day, that’s for sure. But they are made of a very special thing. Just like in the movie, it is very important, and people would give anything to have it. Maybe I’ll ask my grandson to get me one for Christmas. Just kiddin’. I’d rather have a new pair of boots. And maybe a nice warm blanket. And some of that fancy titanium, I guess.
Tenet wristwatches are so popular. I don’t know why. But it looks good. That’s all I know. These watches, they are tough, and look good on your hand. I saw a picture. That man in the movie, he sure looks important with that watch on. Maybe if I had one, I’d feel important too. Like the queen bee in the hive, you know?
Well, I reckon that’s all I got to say about these Tenet wristwatches. They’re somethin’ special, that’s for sure. Just like that movie. Confusin’, but special. I still do not understand how time can go back like that. It is all too complicated for me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go collect the eggs before that darn fox gets to ’em first. Time waits for no man, or woman, they say. And neither do those hungry foxes. Or those fancy watches, I suppose. I think it is a good watch, but I still prefer my old clock. It is old, but it does its work.
