Regular readers of mine know that I get a kick out of spotting replica watches in TV shows and movies. A regular viewer of Lost, I have always been curious to know what fake watch was being worn by Matthew Fox's character Jack Shephard. Of course, while on the island he does not wear a watch, but back in civilization in Los Angeles, he is always seen the fake watch watch. The show producers are loathe to give the fake watch much camera time. In fact, the only fake watch that was given attention was the Replica Rolex Daytona that Jin was carrying as a business gift in season 1. But I digress. A few episodes ago (in the final season, maybe episode 3 or so) I was caught off guard as the camera gives Jack's wrist a closeup as he checks the time. Why the chronograph was running in the shot I don't know, but that glimpse was enough for me to spot the brand ?Porsche Design.
I still didn't know what model it was though. Searching online I couldn't find images of it, nor did I know the name of the piece. Though it was clear that it was a bit of an older model, and had a quartz movement. Then something really random happened. I was visiting Switzerland and was speaking with a fellow fake watch writer. Clearly noticing his watch, I realized that he was wearing the precise Porsche Design fake watch that was in the show. How random right? Thomas (I will spare him by not giving his full name) was clearly perturbed when I asked if I could photograph the fake watch he had been wearing for many years. But he let me (I don't think I gave him much choice), and I finally had another missing piece of the puzzle. I still didn't know the name of the fake watch though, but having images of it helped me. A little more Googling and I finally learned the name and model of the watch. Lost's Jack wears a Porsche Design Dashboard 6600.41 watch. It is in steel and about 38mm wide with a sapphire crystal and a Swiss quartz chronograph movement. Finally, the super fake watch nerd within me has yet another fake watch mystery solved http://www.ticketwatches.com.
Is this a personal fake watch of Matthew Fox, or just something that a wardrobe person in the show picked out? Likely the latter, but the reason this fake watch from the 1990s was picked for his character will remain a mystery. The funny thing is, that someone else out there may very well have had this same question and answered it online already. I was so interested in personally solving this riddle, that I never even bothered to Google "Jack Shephard's fake watch on Lost.?Part of this was about being able to find the answer for myself. Though hopefully I am doing a small service to fake watch and Lost lovers out there.
You can still find these Porsche Design ref. 6600.41 replica watches out there online. Most all used versions for under $1000. Now I need to find another fake watch mystery to solve?/p>
