Episode 2: Strücker Watch

The smoky, '60s-esque ad is more than just an example of era-accurate sexist advertising! The watch is named after Baron Wolfgang von Strücker, the HYDRA villain who used Loki's scepter to experiment on "volunteers" — including Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. It's those experiments that gave the twins their superpowers, while also traumatizing them deeply. The watch face clearly shows the HYDRA symbol alongside Strücker's name.

More curious is the slogan at the end: "He'll make time for you." Does this allude to Wanda carving out her own reality, where time doesn't seem to pass normally?
