James Dean’s Cal Trask carries a Standard Watch Co. pocket watch, a modest heirloom that anchors his restless character to the memory of his father’s stern legacy. In a film steeped in generational conflict and the search for moral direction, the pocket watch becomes a symbol of time as inheritance—measured not in minutes but in expectation. Dean often fingers the watch in quiet moments, its ticking a metronome of guilt and longing, marking the slow passage from rebellion to regret.
