  • 12:07 p.m. Frank (Henry Fonda) looks around and walks past the watchmaker's shop.
  • 12:08 p.m. Harmonica (Charles Bronson) watches Frank from a balcony. As he walks past a display case of pocketwatches, Frank is startled and draws his gun.
  • 12:09 p.m. Frank looks back at the display case as a gunman climbs up the roof of the adjacent retail store. Harmonica tells Frank that time flies and it's already after 12:00. Looking up at a handless watch painted on the watchmaker's shop, Frank sees where a gunman's rifle casts a shadow, and shoots him.

Notes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 In the original film, these scenes are set at the same time, but the time on the pocketwatch and the train station's wall clock do not match.
