Ken, awesome piece. Forgive my ignorance, but what does a regulator do? I know I can google it, but it's always cooler having another WIS explain things.

Clearly the hours, minutes and seconds are separated on different registers. It's original use: Back when you had workshops full of watchmakers building watches (or even just one or two), you’d often find a centrally located clock that followed this layout, with the large minute hand taking up visual importance. This allowed the watchmaker to regulate the watch on their bench against the time displayed on the central regulator.

Separate dials to display hours from minutes..
