Sarah purchases a wristwatch from a street vendor for 3 million Yen. Upon inspecting the item, Fujita identifies the creator as Senjudou and demands to meet the artisan. He finds Hakaru, a struggling young watchmaker whose business is failing due to low sales. Fujita offers 100 million Yen for a replica of the Marie Antoinette pocket watch, originally crafted by Abraham-Louis Breguet in 1782. The provided blueprints are incomplete, forcing Hakaru to independently design the minute-repeater mechanism. Despite the nearly impossible challenge, Hakaru succeeds in producing a unique and valuable Senjudou version of the historic timepiece.
