Clocks?

[020104isme]

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?

Very cool set dressing works for me, I just wasn't sure if I was missing something having never read the source material. 😊

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.)

Awesome, I will remember that for future puzzlement.

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

Interesting idea, also. Only up to episode 5 in my re-watch. Will look with fresh eyes when I get that far.

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

Just wanted to say I love your icon! That book was great. ^.^

It was part of an icon batch offered up on a comm, I snagged it and said thank you to the talented icon maker. I loved the book, as well.

Your icon is very cute. I approve of fuzzy things. ☺

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)
