Witness the world through the ticking heart of an ordinary pocket watch as it passes from owner to owner, quietly recording the triumphs and tragedies of human existence. From the energetic pockets of schoolboys to the desperate hands of criminals, this silent observer bears witness to love, betrayal, theft, and redemption. Each change of hands brings a completely new setting and a fresh cast of characters, weaving a rich tapestry of Victorian life. It is a unique and enchanting narrative that reveals the profound interconnectedness of seemingly disparate lives.
