Clocks?

Quick question for those with more knowledge of the fandom. Why are there so many clocks on the walls in SID, is it just set dressing?

Hope questions are okay, mods. If I need to edit the post in any way, please let me know.

Considering time zones do not work like those clocks show... Either it's just set dressing, or Haixing is a very interesting planet?

Questions are absolutely okay! That's what the "type: questions" tag is for. :)

(If those clocks do serve any function other beyond "looks cool", it's never stated on the show.)

I took it as set dressing that hinted at a certain plot development in episodes 34/35.

My theory as well! It *looks* like vaguely steampunk set design, but turns out to have thematic significance.

At some point I thought some of them was supposed to reflect that the time in Dixing doesn’t sync completely with the surface, but not sure if that covers all of them. (The theory is partially because of the clock in the Dixing throne room)
