A small, round, metal pocket watch. It has a glass covering over a white face and black Roman numerals around the clock.

Underneath that it has a small circle with lines around it and "30" at the tops, "45" on the right and left. It has a small piece in the middle of the circle, would have had a small hand to measure minutes. The large part of the face only has one watch hand, may have had second at some point.
