From IMDb: "Plot holes: The watch "walks in circles" through time, and was never, at any moment in history, actually fabricated."
At the beginning of the movie she is an old woman and presses it into his hand begging him to come back to her. He travels back to 1912 and it is left in her young hand when he finds the 1979 penny and is whisked back to 1980. Talk about looping LOL.
Looks like there were quite a few continuity problems. Still it is a great movie and I have always loved it :)

There is a "time paradox" in the film. The watch given to Richard when he was a young man by the older Elise has no origin in the timeline. Richard takes this watch with him back to 1912. Elise is admiring this watch when Richard finds the 1979 penny, and is thrust back to the future, leaving the watch behind. Where did the watch come from? In addition, it is likely that the age of the watch would continually deteriorate through iterations of the time loop.

I remember seeing that movie with Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve, but I can't quite remember where the watch came from (wait a sec -- didn't it come out of an old trunk in Jane Seymour's attic??).
Another famous movie paradox is in The Terminator when at the end of the movie, Sarah, stopping for gas, gets her picture taken by a little Mexican boy. At that moment she's talking to her yet-to-be-born baby about Reese (the father/her lover). Years later, Sarah's son, John Conner, gives that same picture to Reese who wonders what Sarah must have been thinking of when it was taken -- which was him --- he fell in love with Sarah just from the picture and stories from her son about what a strong woman she is/was. Reese tells Sarah, "I came across time for you ..." (swoon!)

Isn t finite time in this reality the same as that timepiece in that story...a paradox? To explain, God exists in eternity; but He reached through it to create time and thus us and then stepped through in the physical being of Jesus to have His love affair with us. Time could not exist without a creator of it who would have to exist outside of time. And the physical world does decay over time. It does not evolve just as the timepiece would decay over several loops. But when He returns for us, the paradox/mystery will be uncovered/unveiled when we meet Him in the clouds in our transformed state. We will then be able to see time as a sphere in comparison to a 2D round shape that we see now. So yes, there is a paradox but not unlike the paradox of time we currently live in.
