Storyline

You are the sole heir of Alfred Du Pont, the greatest watchmaker in history.

You come to Oxford wearing your inheritance: his final watch, his masterwork. It is covered in ancient sigils and mathematical symbols. You study it as the crowd brushes by, listening to its irregular tick...why did he tell you to bring it here?

Someone bumps into you. You apologise. You look down at your wrist again. The watch is gone! You glimpse the thief push through the crowd. You give chase
