Strange how with such money, they can barely make a simple one. The visual efficiency on those things is terrible. Too much stuff on the face.

Then again:

    "telling time" is a tertiary responsibility of these pieces of jewelry.

Might as well wear a watch with no time-telling parts.

I have no clue. It's basically a fancy bracelet. Are you new here, kid? Won a blockbuster lottery or something?

I imagine people wearing something like this don't really care to introduce people into their world.
