Is this another of our spinning tumbler of possible futures?

Um, okay.
I can't contextualize this at all. There's no date specified -- could be past, could be future. Am I supposed to recognize any of these people apart from Danielle?
I will say this, though: Montalis draws purty.

What the? What is this? When did this happen? Oh, Kuppler. OH! *slams fist into forehead* Okay, so El Magnifico is one of the Kuppler brothers, and the Kuppler family runs a giant, insidious, very profitable multinational. He disappeared at sea much the style of Amelia Earhart or JFK Jr. What is the blonde pilot's name? That looked like a term of endearment in German (or some related language) not an actual name. That isn't Dani, is it? If it is Dani, this could be how she got the watch and snuck away, but those proportions don't look like Dani. ETA--apparently, El Magnifico is Jakob Kuppler. Jakob and Johannes--did their parents like J names or are they twins? Was Jakob the older or the younger brother? I think from context, this has to be relatively recent because it explains Claudia not being able to find El Magnifico and hoping he's dead. This would suggest that he disappeared...what maybe on Harem Night? If this is current, then the blonde can't be Dani.

Ah, found the reference -- #114. Subtle.

No spoilers!

There's an Icelandic form which is Einfridur, except the 'd' is an eth - a 'd' with a line through it. Let's see how the Unicode handling on this thing is: Einfríður. There we go!

Are you prepared to confirm that this is the name that the woman we see here answers to? Yes, the woman in this page is named Einfríður. Like most Icelandics, she goes by her first name. That's an Icelandic coast guard helicopter in the background, which I am mentioning because I looked it up on Google and passed it on to Montalis as a reference and darned if the readership isn't going to appreciate that.

And the appropriate phonetic pronunciation of this woman's name is what, "Ein-Freth-ur"? Yikes. She's gorgeous, so I can see almost all straight American men she ever met at least making the effort to pronounce it correctly, but I get a distinct Doug Dorsey feeling about this particular name.
Please tell me someone here is familiar with his opening sequence in The Cutting Edge so I don't have to try to explain it and how embarrassing it is.
Okay--so if I have this right, Derek broke into Jakob the Liar's Bachelor Pad of Doom looking for answers and located lingerie that pointed him toward Dani. Jakob The Liar either went down in a plane (Earhart or JFK Jr style) or went down in a ship (like DC's Oliver Queen) in the North Atlantic somewhere near Icelandic territorial waters. Maybe Dani was with him, and the trauma of that allowed her to surive and reboot her personality, or maybe this just explains that he disappeared around Harem Night.
Do I have that right?
Oh, and I forgot to ask. Is The Watch a relatively new prototype developed by Jakob the Liar, Johannes the manipulator, and their father, or was it developed years ago by the original Kuppler and his sons? Which is to say, is Kuppler & Sons a firm with a lot of history, or a new creation that Unnamed Father started and expanded to include Johannes and Jakob? I'm confused. Pretty typical of me, actually.

And if Johannes the Manipulator were to drop her in Kearsage for whatever reasons, what might she be nicknamed either by your audience or by the members of the SJI Harem? Freya? The name doesn't really roll of the western tongue.
Oh, speaking of mysterious women we might see again, what's the name of the bike messenger who covered Derek's break-in at Jakob the Liar's bachelor pad?
