The watch leads Elias to uncover shocking truths: he has a son named Thomas he never knew existed, born to his former love Milena Králová. Thomas, a physicist, became trapped in a "chronological interstice" during a Cold War experiment gone wrong in 1968. The watch, created by Milena''s father Dušan Král, can displace consciousness through time but demands a sacrifice with each use, explaining the mysterious deaths connected to Elias. In the final confrontation, Elias enters the interstice and sacrifices himself to free Thomas, destroying the watch to prevent its dangerous power from being exploited by government agents. As Thomas returns to normal time, Elias''s consciousness dissolves across the temporal spectrum, finding peace in the knowledge that his sacrifice restored his son''s life and ended the watch''s deadly cycle.
