Can someone please help me with this very short video? I can't sort out what the second man says.

Hi Lodka, they say:
"What about the meeting? Supposed to be in here at one o'clock."
"You missed it? That's a shame, isn't it. There goes that gold watch at the end of the run then."
The last sentence is a sarcastic comment. There was a time when, if someone kept the same job for many years, then they would be given a gold watch as a retirement gift. He is suggesting that the man might be sacked for missing the meeting, so will not be in the company long enough to receive a retirement gift.
