He stood up and walked a couple of steps forward to look at the watch on John's arm.
"There's more to it than it seems," he said conversationally. "Think about Chas."
John looked puzzled, but he must have done it because the second hand on the watch swung to the right for three seconds then returned to where it was supposed to be.
"If it swings right, it means he's safe. If it ever goes left, it means he's in danger. It'll work for anyone you know, anywhere they may be." Crowley shrugged. "Just thought you'd like to be able to keep an eye on things while you were here. My intern, Draco, gave me the idea."
He didn't tell John about what else the watch could do.
