Professors cannot be relied on to be sensible when giving watches to their sons. Professor Craig-Bennett gave me a Rolex, when I was younger than Dick. I lost it. Professor Callum might have given Dick a chronograph; they were a popular toy for grown up boys in the Edwardian period because you could time railjoints and deduce train speeds with them, as Sherlock Holmes does.
