Great start. Perhaps a stock photo of the watch? McQueen wearing it? I am curious about your statement that this was one of the first automatic chronographs. Perhaps some dates of others might support the assertion?

Also, it might be helpful to relate this endorsement with other cinematic endorsements. My knowledge is limited but prior to James bond there were very few actors being tied with a brand. Certainly Paul Newman but which came first?
