The Clockwerke Solutions Pocketwatch is a highly customizeable scripted pocketwatch. It was first released at the February 2024 Duskruin run and are sold in the shop by the same name, Clockwerke Solutions, during the Yaer of the Clockwerke Devices. Depending on what clothing nouns are worn with the pocketwatch, its description when worn will adjust to indicate how it is attached to a bodice, corst, vest, or waistcoat.

OTS/1

The pocketwatch comes off the shelf with four verbs. It can show the wearer the time, and it can be worn attached to clothing in different ways.

Analyze

You analyze your round bronze pocketwatch and sense that the creator has provided the following information:
Created in 5124 at the precise stroke of midnight on Lormesta the 1st, a filligreed round bronze pocketwatch is a timepiece in honor of the "Year of the Clockwerke Devices."

The pocketwatch is currently tier 1 of 3 and can only be unlocked via an unlock certificate at Duskruin.

It has access to the following verbs:
 CLOSE, GAZE (provides time), LOOK, OPEN, REMOVE, and WEAR.

It has the following available customizations:
Chain Article: herringbone
Chain Material: copper
Lid Design: an embellished filigree whorl
Shape of pocketwatch: round
Interior Lid Item (base): a scrap of parchment
Interior Lid Item (description): Scrawled across the thin slip of paper is a wish for a happy new year.
Timepiece Glass Color: clear
Timepiece Charm: golden bell
Timepiece Base: a filigreed round bronze pocketwatch

When worn, the pocketwatch will transform in the follow ways:
With a bodice/corset: (noun is updated to "chain") a stay-pinned braided herringbone chain discreetly tucked into a (bodice/corset) pocket
With a vest or waistcoat: (noun is updated to "chain") a button-latched looping herringbone chain attached to a pocket-tucked timepiece
If no vest/waistcoat or bodice/corset are worn, then it becomes a neckworn item: a copper-strung clockwork locket

In Locket & Pocketwatch form, the timepiece may have a long description.

Usage

Verb First Third
CLOSE You curl your fingertips across the round bronze pocketwatch, a soft *click* sounding from it as you close a lid with an embellished filigree whorl over the clear glass of the timepiece. Firstperson curls his fingertips across the round bronze pocketwatch, a soft *click* sounding from it as he closes a lid with an embellished filigree whorl over the clear glass of the timepiece.
GAZE Toggling the closure spring with your thumb, you open your round bronze pocketwatch and gaze at the timepiece, noting that it is 9:40 AM by the elven time standard. You close the pocketwatch with a quiet *CLICK*. Toggling the closure spring with his thumb, Firstperson opens his round bronze pocketwatch, gazes at the timepiece briefly, and then closes it with a quiet *CLICK*.
OPEN Cupping the body of your round bronze pocketwatch in your palm, you trigger the lid's opening spring with your thumb, causing it to pop open. Cupping the body of his round bronze pocketwatch in his palm, Firstperson triggers the lid's opening spring with his thumb, causing it to pop open.
REMOVE (vest) - noun returns to pocketwatch With a free hand, you carefully unclip the herringbone copper chain of your timepiece from the hidden loop of your vest, cradling the device within your open palm. Firstperson reaches down, tracing his fingertips across his vest as he unclips the herringbone copper chain of his timepiece, cradling the device within his open palm.
REMOVE (bodice/corset) - noun returns to pocketwatch You trace your fingertips across your red silk corset, catching the herringbone copper chain of your timepiece and gently unclipping it before gathering it within your open palm. Pinning the end of the herringbone copper chain of his round bronze pocketwatch to the center seam of his red silk corset, Firstperson gently tucks the metallic object into a discreet pocket.
REMOVE (neck-worn) - noun returns to pocketwatch You slip your fingers down the length of the herringbone copper chain, gently unclipping your clockwork locket as you cup it within your hand. You tilt the timepiece up to the ambient light, examining an embellished filigree whorl lid for any needed repairs. Firstperson slips his fingers down the length of the herringbone copper chain, gently unclipping his clockwork locket as he cups it within his hand. As he raises the timepiece to the ambient light, an embellished filigree whorl lid flashes briefly before you.
WEAR (vest) - noun becomes chain Attaching the herringbone copper chain of your round bronze pocketwatch to the top button of your black vest, you discreetly slip the timepiece into the vest's front pocket. Attaching the herringbone copper chain of his round bronze pocketwatch to the top button of his black vest, Firstperson discreetly slips the timepiece into the vest's front pocket.
WEAR (bodice/corset) noun becomes chain Pinning the end of the herringbone copper chain of your round bronze pocketwatch to a center seam on your red silk corset, you gently tuck the metallic object into a discreet pocket. Firstperson traces his fingertips across his red silk corset, catching the herringbone copper chain of his timepiece before gently unclipping it, the device swinging slowly back and forth before he gathers it within his open palm.
WEAR (neckworn) - noun becomes locket Attaching the herringbone copper chain to the base of your round bronze pocketwatch, you create a loop and slip your head through it, allowing it to be worn like a locket. Attaching the herringbone copper chain to the base of his round bronze pocketwatch, Firstperson creates a loop and slips his head through it, allowing it to be worn like a locket.

Tier 2

The second tier unlock adds four more verbs.

Usage

Verb First Third
GlANCE With a subtle press of your finger, you pop open the lid of your round bronze pocketwatch, causing an embellished filigree whorl design to dance in the ambient light. You cast a fleeting glance at the dials, noting it is 10:00 AM by the elven time standard. You snap the lid swiftly closed. With a subtle press of his finger, Firstperson pops open the lid of his pocket watch, his gaze fleetingly casted toward the dials. He snaps the lid swiftly closed.
LISTEN You raise your round bronze pocketwatch to your ear as you tilt your head, waiting for the familiar rhythmic ticking to echo back to you. The faint vibrations of the pocketwatch confirm that it is in tip-top shape. Firstperson raises his round bronze pocketwatch to his ear, tilting his head as he closes his eyes briefly. He breathes in slowly as he concentrates, nodding to himself as he lowers his hand.
TURN Resting the round bronze pocketwatch in your palm with an embellished filigree whorl lid face up, you pull the crown one click away from the timepiece's rim. You wind the knob to the point of subtle resistance, then press the crown down with the pad of your thumb. Resting the round bronze pocketwatch in his palm with an embellished filigree whorl lid face up, Firstperson pulls the crown away from the timepiece's rim. He winds the knob countless times, then presses the crown down with the pad of his thumb.
TWIST You twist the herringbone copper of your round bronze pocketwatch until the links are taut, then with the lightest flicks of your wrist, set the timepiece swinging like a hypnotic pendulum, an embellished filigree whorl lid occasionally flashing as it spins. Firstperson tautly twists the herringbone copper of his round bronze pocketwatch, then with barely perceivable flicks of his wrist, sets the timepiece swinging like a hypnotic pendulum, an embellished filigree whorl lid occasionally flashing as it spins.

Tier 3

The final tier unlock adds four more verbs, plus the ability to set an alarm to go off at a designated time.

Analyze

You analyze your round bronze pocketwatch and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

Chain Article: herringbone
