The Swatch Automatic reminded me almost immediately of an episode from the Columbo television series of the early 1970’s, and of a scene that only a watch idiot savant would remember. Peter Falk, playing the habitually disheveled, cigar-smoking police Lieutenant Colombo, went to interview a murder suspect at the Van Cleef & Arpels shop in Beverly Hills. Waiting for his suspect and examining some diamond tiaras in a showcase, Columbo is approached by a haughty saleswoman uncomfortable with his appearance.
"May I help you, sir?" she asked.
"No, I'm waiting for Mr. Miller . . . But come to think of it, do you sell watch straps? I've got a watch here that I've been carrying around for weeks." Pulling a watch from his rumpled coat and handing it to the saleswoman, he continued, "It's a good watch - waterproof and shockproof and all that."
"They begin at $25," she said as Columbo handed her the watch. "Hmm . . . seven jewels."
"Twenty-five dollars?", asked Columbo. "No, I don't want to replace the whole thing, just the strap."
"Yes sir, that’s beginning at $25 for the strap."
Columbo declined.
