📁 for a random but completely useless headcanon

I’m not sure what to call this: meta headcanon? Mangaka headcanon?

I headcanon that Yana-san chose the make and model of Ronald Knox’s wristwatch (which is actually a chronograph) very specifically for him and his role in this story.

**A little bit of a spoiler here, if you are not caught up through ch175**

The Cartier “Pasha” is a chronograph, or what we might more commonly call a sports watch these days. The defining features are: 1. Has a stopwatch and 2. Waterproofing. It didn’t come onto the market until the 1960’s, if I recall... way after Cartier himself was dead... and that’s fine. Reapers have access to advanced technology and items that humans don’t create until decades later. Ludger/Rudgar’s A Lange & Söhne watch is a model that doesn’t exist (for humans) until after 2010 or so. Ok. Fine.

I headcanon that Yana-san knew ages ago (like back when she was designing Ronald Knox as a character) the fact she would later have him investigating Ada, who served as a medic in the Mahdist War. She might not have even come up with Ada yet, but I feel like she already knew she would incorporate something about the Sudan Campaign (perhaps even a medic there) when she decided to give Ronald a Cartier “Pasha” chronograph. High officials in the government and military of the Ottoman Empire were called Pashas. They were the main people who rose up against the dude who claimed to be the Mahdi and called his own uprising a jihad. Yeah, the Brits were all about conquest and expansion of their own empire, but this was also about the squashing of a religious uprising. And not just Christian versus Muslim; it started out as a clash of sects within Islam itself.

And ch175 has a little photo of a man who looks like he might be wearing aviator goggles over a top hat. Louis Cartier created his own first ever wristwatch for men, the “Santos-Dumont”, for a pioneering pilot (and friend) by that name, Alberto Santos-Dumont. Then there’s also this Russian/Finnish guy... Alexander Mozhaysky... who was another pioneer in aviation (though not nearly as successful at it), and he not only served in the Crimean War, where Florence Nightingale is famous for being a medic, but he’s also instrumental to Japan’s own industrial development... and he looks a lot like the guy in the little photo.... So, who is the guy in the little photo that Ada has on a desk, and why? But I digress! (Edit: Oof, the dude in the photo is supposed to be the “real” Matthew Burgh. 🤦🏻‍♀️)

Anyway, yeah. The Cartier “Pasha”. Not given to Ronald simply for its sportiness and being so anachronistic. But I still consider this a useless headcanon... for now, anyway. Let’s see what happens if he uses the stopwatch feature on that Pasha of his.... 🤔😅
