Prior to the Yalta Conference, Cairo Conference, and the Tehran Conference Churchill/Stalin/Roosevelt were having clandestine meetings to plot the termination of the German Führer by MI6. IES's was Churchills pilot and confidant throughout WWII and was at every meeting. Secret missions were commonplace and "Off the books". Winstons personal emmisary
The character/heroine/victim listens to her elderly fathers U-Tube videos (((in her apartment))) as he discusses repairing watches. Rather than have music or TV or Talk Radio, she prefers to Hear His Voice. It soothes her. It is relaxed and calm, melodic, expressing joy and surprise at "repair discoveries", re-assuring and memorable from her childhood. Ambient sound. No music. No TV. No Talk radio blaring the news. Just her fathers voice. It has always been a salve. It is playing in the background after her prone body is discovered and detectives are searching for clues.
"Hey. Turn that off", one of them says.
The lead detective, Ambrose Hall says, "No. Let it play. I kind of like it".
UTUBE TAPE; "Hello. Thanks for joining me. My name is IAN and today we are going to investigate why this old ElginPocket Watch doesnt work....and then repair it"
Ian is her estranged hermit British father. Robbery? Ambrose asks a relative of the deseased, "What's Missing". The only thing turns out to be a rare, one-of-a-kind, very valuable (Millions???) heirloom Rolex pocket watch given to her father by the Duke of Windsor (((now Charles III))) in 1971, on the 25th anniversary of a secret mission in WWII. He served in the RAF, the Royal Air Force, as a personally requested pilot for Winston Churchill. Wherever Churchill flew, IAN was his pilot.
Is there such a thing as a Rolex pocket watch? Rolex began in 1905. Pocket watches were still very popular and in use. Men still wore vested suits able to display an expensive watch on a gold chain as a sign of wealth and status. Wrist watches were demure and meant for women. The existence of a Rolex Pocket Watch is OUR LITTLE FICTION.
Found a Rolex Precision Openface, Keyless lever, Stainless steel Pocket watch. Our ficticious watch would be GOLD, not be openface (((to allow for engraving on the lid))) and would be engraved. [1]
IES was gifted by Churchill a (((fictional))) prototype pocket watch version of the Rolex GMT Master II AKA Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date GMT Master. The actual wrist watch was designed in collaboration with the now defunct Pan American Airways of the United States for use by their pilots and navigators.
NOTE: The founder of Rolex actually saw that the pocket watch was outdated and was going out of style and being replaced by the wrist watch. So the gifted pocket watch was less phototype than antecedent or arche-typearchetype The watch is worth millions See Above
GMT, GMT or UTC, Grenwich Neab Time, is the time zone that is required for all aviation planning, weather forecasts, schedules and other paperwork.[1]
A chronograph is a specific type of watch that is used as a stopwatch combined with a display watch. A basic chronograph has an independent sweep second hand and a minute sub-dial; it can be started, stopped, and returned to zero by successive pressure on the stem. More complex chronographs use additional complications and can have multiple sub-dials to measure seconds, minutes, hours and even fractions of a second. In addition, many modern chronographs use moveable bezels as tachymeters for rapid calculations of speed or distance.
IES works for Rolex as a young man, ((age/?)), perhaps in Switzerland, under the tutelege of one of the Master Watch Creators, maybe C.E. Fritts. He meets the founder of Rolex, Hans Wilsdotf, and befriends/sweet-talks him and his wife .... Hans Wilsdorf tells him ((("I think I may have met your father"))) meaning Godfrey.... much like we had that chance meeting of Mr and Mrs Walsh in Ottawa, IL. In the story, the Wilsdorfs take a liking to IES as he resembles their deceased son. He goes to work for Rolex and saves up his employee stock option which turn into BIG MONEY.
Wilsdorf convinced a small watch movement manufacturer in Switzerland, Aegler, to produce watch movements small enough to wear on the wrist. A great visionary, Hans saw the trend to move away from the Pocket watch. (((The widespread use of pocket watches in a professional environment came to an end in approximately 1943)))
Rolex SA (/ˈroʊlɛks/) is a British-founded Swiss watch designer and manufacturer based in Geneva, Switzerland.[2] Founded in 1905 as Wilsdorf and Davis by Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis in London, the company registered Rolex as the brand name of its watches in 1908 and became Rolex Watch Co. Ltd. in 1915.[3][4][5][6] After World War I, the company moved its base of operations to Geneva because of the unfavorable economy in the United Kingdom. In 1920, Hans Wilsdorf registered Montres Rolex SA in Geneva as the new company name (montre is French for wristwatch); it later became Rolex SA.[2][4][7][8] Since 1960, the company has been owned by the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, a private family trust.[5][9][10]
VPH. VPH describes the number of times that a vibratingtimekeeping component completes a vibration cycle in 1 hour. More vibrations per hour yields higher timekeeping resolution, and usually indicates a higher precision mechanical movement.
The PocketWatch is elaborately engraved with the initials VPH. Detective Bosch first assumes they are a person's initials. Then he remembers the UTUBE tapes where her father mentions "VPH/vibrations per hour" and realizes it is a secret message to his daughter.
Message: "More vibrations yield higher revolutions and precision. More involvements/vibrations in life produce a richer experience". It was the "Life Message" given to him by Mr. Fritz, his Swiss mentor
Admiral of the FleetRoger John Brownlow Keyes, 1st Baron Keyes was a British naval officer.
He planned and led the famous raids on the German submarine pens in the Belgian ports of Zeebrugge and Ostend.
During WWII he became liaison officer to Leopold III, King of the Belgians. In the House of Commons, he played an important role in the Norway Debate (((The Norway Debate, sometimes called the Narvik Debate, was a momentous debate in the British House of Commons from 7 to 9 May 1940, during the Second World War. It was initiated by an adjournment motion enabling the Commons to freely discuss the progress of the Norwegian Campaign. The debate quickly brought to a head widespread dissatisfaction with the overall conduct of the war by Neville Chamberlain's government and led to his eventual resignation as Prime Minister.
IES inherits land that was in the slum after the gardens that would later become the SIS Building AKA MI6 at Vauxhall Cross. Another windfall and connection to his MI6 work. Plus the name "Pleasure Gardens" is an opening to mention maybe Lizzy inherits what was a brothel from her Mother, Victoria Sanders.

The Cairo Conference (codenamed Sextant[13]) also known as the First Cairo Conference, was one of the 14 summit meetings during World War II that occurred on November 22–26, 1943. The Conference was held in Cairo, Egypt, between the United Kingdom, China, and the United States. It outlined the Allied position against the Empire of Japan during World War II and made decisions about postwar Asia. The conference was attended by Winston Churchill, Chiang Kai-shek, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

It was held in the Soviet Union's embassy in Tehran, Iran. It was the first of the World War II conferences of the "Big Three" Allied leaders (the Soviet Union, the United States, and the United Kingdom) and closely followed the Cairo Conference, which had taken place on 22–26 November 1943, and preceded the 1945 Yalta and Potsdam conferences. Although the three leaders arrived with differing objectives, the main outcome of the Tehran Conference was the Western Allies' commitment to open a second front against Nazi Germany.

BP's origins date back to the founding of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1908, established as a subsidiary of Burmah Oil Company to exploit oil discoveries in Iran. (((Godfrey Smith was 20 years old))). In 1935, it became the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and in 1954, adopted the name British Petroleum.
Since the '40s, oil revenues had transformed the once poor societies of the region into world players. Opportunities of enrichment and enormous wealth were abundant, especially to someone on the inside, in the back rooms, like IES
Following World War II, nationalistic sentiments were on the rise in the Middle East; most notable being Iranian nationalism, and Arab Nationalism. In Iran, the AIOC and the pro-western Iranian government led by Prime Minister Ali Razmara resisted nationalist calls to revise AIOC's concession terms in Iran's favour. In March 1951, Razmara was assassinated and Mohammed Mossadeq, a nationalist, was elected as the new prime minister by the Majlis of Iran (parliament). In April 1951, the Iranian government nationalised the Iranian oil industry by unanimous vote, and the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) was formed, displacing the AIOC. The AIOC withdrew its management from Iran, and Britain organised an effective worldwide embargo of Iranian oil. The British government, which owned the AIOC, contested the nationalisation at the International Court of Justice at The Hague, but its complaint was dismissed.
Prime Minister Winston Churchill asked President Eisenhower for help in overthrowing Mossadeq. The anti-Mossadeq plan was orchestrated under known for its pearl exports until the 1930s; the pearl trade was damaged irreparably by the 1929 Great Depression and the innovation of cultured pearls. With the collapse of the pearling industry, Dubai fell into a deep depression and many residents lived in poverty or migrated to other parts of the Persian Gulf.[16]45(?) year old Godfrey may have "seized the moment" to invest This may be where he meets Rolex/Wilsdorf who is in the Middle East looking for investors to enlarge his growing watch company.
In 1937 an oil exploration contract was signed which guaranteed royalty rights for Dubai and concessionary payments to Sheikh Saeed bin Maktoum. However, due to World War II, oil would not be struck until 1966.[17]: 36–37
