Accessing under the handbrake

Hi everyone, I am new here. We just purchased our c3 aircross automatic and my hubby has dropped his watch below the handbrake! There is quite a gap that the brake moves across and it slipped through this gap and has landed right down at the back of the base. We cannot find a way to reach it as the enclosed casing seems fixed, and my hand is just a little large to fit into the space! Can anyone help us?

Can you see it? How about a stick with a bit of bent wire taped on?

Can you see it with a torch? if so, try one of those small litter pickers, or an extendable pen magnet. good luck.

Thanks for the replies. We tried a small litter picker but it broke! We have now ordered an extendable magnet stick from Amazon lol

Did they use a stick with a bit of bent wire on the end?
