During his wait, Brendon had ordered some sushi and water for himself, and another cup for Jessica when she would eventually arrive. "Yeah, yeah." He spoke idly in return of hearing about her own life and job, and bid her a short goodbye before she hung up on him. It was nice to know that her medical career was doing well. Even Nurses made better money than teachers did in the area, but he was sure that she wasn't in it for the money, just as he wasn't teaching for the money. Both of their jobs were being there for the people that needed them. Brendon taught people and gave them information and lessons about the fields that they wanted to go to in the years to come, and Jessica helped the ill alongside doctors. 

it wasn't too terribly long before Jessica eventually arrived at the little cafe. Upon seeing her through the window, Brendon stood up and neared the door to welcome her. However, he was not at all prepared for the sudden embrace. "Oh-hey!" He let out, his arms carefully and hesitantly wrapping around his old friend, still surprised by the seemingly random hug that had been brought upon him. "No problem." Brendon said to her while she let go and found a seat near his own. He sat back down in his seat and looked at Jessica, watching as she presented to him the watch in question. While the picture of the watch did a good job of capturing its appearance, the watch in person seemed almost unreal. The shine of the metals and the workings and shapes seemed too spectacular and shiny for something designed to seem much older than what he believed it to be. 

With equal slowness, Brendon reached forward to take the watch from her, looking at it ans inspecting it from all possible angles with the light aimed inside as best he could. The octagonal shape reminded him of old european sailing compasses, which normally had a similar box shape and inner dome. However, the main difference was that this watch had smaller dials and wheels inside, and multiple, tiny buttons. As his fingers trailed along them, he could feel small shapes etched into them with care. Five buttons in a single line, facing straight up along the 'north-eastern' edge of the watch, all held different marks from one another. The topmost one had a small triangle which pointed to the left, the button below it had a small circle on the top of the already circular button. The one below that had a square, and the final one had another triangle pointing to the right. There was also a button the center clock of the watch, where the minute and the hour arms met. The center button was completely unmarked, however.

He was careful with it, but he dared pushing the topmost button first. His thumb slid to the golden button in silence, pushing it down with delecate care and watching while half of the little dials on the watch spun backwards, the smaller ones faster than the larger. There seemed to be three of four dials that spun, if Brendon could keep track of them all. Only two spun backwards before he let go of the button. He then dared push the square marked button and then hit the top button again, confirming his thoughts of how it seemed to work. 

It was rather interesting for him. The center let the outermost buttons spin what he believed to be the main two dials forward and backward, and dubbed those two buttons the forward and backward buttons, respectively, of course. The two buttons next to the center button shifted control to one of the two other dials. Those other dials seemed to coordinate with longitude and latitude, and the main two dials seemed for time. He didn't understand why a pocket watch would need latitude and longitude. It didn't have a GPS, and certainly no such thing would have existed during the time of its suspected creation. Whatever the purpose was, he aligned the longitude and latitude with the general location of a northern sect of islands in Japan. He then reset the location to Seattle and reset the time as well after checking his own phone for the exact time. 

"Well." He said with uncertainty.  He set the watch back down and slid it back to Jessica. "I don't really know what to say. I mean I guess I could look at it some more if you want me to, but it looks to be just another experimental watch from back in the say. European, possibly, maybe even early, early German, but I can't be too sure. The mechanisms are ahead of the time I think it'd be from, but some geniuses were like that."
