Perhaps it is the few decades he has on Sherlock. Living in an era defined by cars, planes and constant scientific advances, taking in a flying metal box is a little easier, though still a bit much to swallow. Lamont is a brilliant mind, of course cars might fly one day, he just never expected to witness it.
Watson, however, earns a more obvious stare. He was beyond any automaton Lamont might have seen at a fair, and the ease with which it moves and interacts with Holmes is uncanny. There's clearly a bulk of metal there but the head is almost alarmingly lifelike. That, and Holmes had called something a computer. Watson's direction immediately pointed out what the man meant, but the metal boxes looked nothing like the devices he knew about.
Again, Lamont is pulled from his awed study of his surroundings. The weight of it all is slowly showing on his face as he tries to catch up to hundreds of years of advancements in a few short minutes. His voice is distracted as he watches Watson scan the wreckage, unable to identify a single familiar item within it, save for switches, buttons and wires.
"My- senses were overwhelmed. There was a flash of light and a loud hum of electricity. Brief sensation of weightlessness, then the explosion."
