My wife and I just watched LOOPER on BluRay disc this evening. There were a few fleeting shots of the exterior of the pocket watch carried by the main character showing engraved acanthus scroll.
I did some research and found that the prop master for the movie actually found the watch on eBay. It was produced in the 1840's by Dent for officers in the Turkish military. It has a hand enameled porcelain face and that's apparently what most people were interested in because... I can't seem to find a photo of it closed anywhere.
If you see the movie, be sure to look for the watch. (Talk about being obsessed with scrolls!)
