Mr. Kimber's Pocket Watch

A small, gold-toned wristwatch with a simple leather strap, left behind in Mr. Kimber’s cabin. Its absence from the room draws Janet’s immediate suspicion during the cabin search—no man of discipline would leave without it. The watch’s polished surface reflects the room’s dim lighting as a subtle but critical clue, its presence or absence now a measure of Kimber’s unexplained disappearance and the growing unease among the crew.
