I wasn’t looking for anything in particular. Until I saw it. Resting on a velvet cushion, veiled in dim light, was a watch that had no business being there.

The Vacheron Constantin Ref. 4875 or “The Diavolo”. Only a handful made.

The case was gold, the dial white as a sheet covering a corpse, the hands… slender, elegant, but pointed. There were no lugs or atleast as we define them but horns pointed upward in devilish perfection.

Vacheron Constantin, the oldest of the holy trinity of watchmaking, had been crafting horological masterpieces since 1755. Kings, emperors and tycoons had worn their creations.

But this? This was different.

The Diavolo was whispered about in collector circles like a cursed relic. Some said it was commissioned by a Sicilian nobleman with a taste for the diabolical. Others claimed it was a rejected design, deemed too sinister even for a house that had outlived revolutions.

The Diavolo wasn’t just named for its horns. It was named for the way it “watched” you back.

I should have left it there. I didn’t.
