"Ok, because I'm supposed to be working I just quickly nabbed something close at hand"
is that a clue, something on his desk Sherlock Holmes?

Could it be a mechanical pencil sharpener Dr Watson?

Nada clue. Close at hand could mean anything in my house.

Mechanical clock? Cheap mechanical watch?

Timeless.

Can opener?

Hand drill

You use your hands on it but it doesn't drill anything.
