Wondering what the most famous watch in movie history might look like? Even more interesting, how much could collectors buy them for? These questions can be answered in recent US media reports. Indeed, the other day an hourglass – a prop from the movie "The Wizard of Oz" was sold for 495 thousand dollars.
This clock played a key role in the 1939 motion picture. It was they who were held by the evil witch when she threatened Dorothy and said: “See how much you have left to live! And it won't be long, my beauty! I can't wait forever to get these shoes!"
An hourglass appeared in the frame. And the friends of a small but very brave girl – the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion saw that they had very little time left to save their friend.
Here it is impossible not to recall the significance of the 1939 painting itself for the inhabitants of America. After all, most Americans aged 35-40 say that this is the best movie they saw as a child.
I would like to recall other iconic watches from movies that were sold at auctions, but nothing came to mind. Can you advise in the comments?
