*In KimNewman's ''Diogenes Club'' stories, it's strongly implied that there's something interesting about Charles Beauregard's pocket watch "with the intricate crystal workings". The [[{{MIB}} Undertaking]] refuse to let him into their HQ while carrying it, and he ''certainly'' refuses to let them look after it while he's there. Sadly, the glossary page explaining what it ''does'' has been censored by the current Diogenes chairperson.
