Pocket Watch

The pocket watch is a very useful tool. Brought to Britannia by the Avatar, it can tell the owner the precise time, anywhere, anytime, without being dependent on the sun or any other less-accurate means. Conveniently, the pocket watch never stops working.

The pocket watch first appeared in Ultima V, when the Avatar brought it to Britannia. It wasn't seen in Ultima VI, but the day indicator implies that the Avatar has it (and Shamino proves this true later). The Avatar again has a pocket watch in Martian Dreams, but it is unknown if it is one acquired in the late 18th century, if the Avatar's pocket watch from previous adventures in Britannia is of an old design, or if the watch was new, but Raxachk was unable to determine the Avatar's 20th century identity based upon it.

In Ultima VII, Shamino returned the watch to the Avatar, who had forgotten to take it along when returning to Earth after Ultima VI. Fissif stole the Pocket Watch in Ultima Underworld II, but returned it to the Avatar after being caught. The watch was last seen in Ultima VII Part Two. It is unknown what happened to it after that.

Trivia
