About

Seven Minutes to Midnight

At the Burnt Toast Diner, Sylar is wearing a broken watch which reads 11:53.

When Mohinder dreams of his father's death, the same watch is shown smashing against the cab's window. The face of the watch cracks, freezing the hands at 11:53—seven minutes to midnight.

Six Months Ago

Chandra Suresh visits Gray & Sons, a watchmaker's shop in Brooklyn. Inside, Gabriel Gray is working to restore a vintage German watch from 1917 he's been repairing for seven years.

Later, after Chandra decides to no longer continue testing Gabriel for signs that he's an evolved human, Gabriel summons another of Chandra's potential subjects, Brian Davis, to his shop. Glancing at the face of the watch he has repaired, he decides to abandon his old life for good, and introduces himself as "Sylar" -- the maker's name on the watch.

Notes

• The watch appears to be functioning again as Sylar arrives at Union Wells High School. Given his expertise as a watchmaker, this would be a simple repair.
