Watch the sunlight play around as it varys in position during the different times of the day. The realistic watch shows time even after years of neglect (might have an atomic battery that runs for a couple million years) and it doesn’t tarnish too unlike the real thing that disintigrates upon exposure to water. Watch as the pocketwatch ticks away sporting an old roman style numbering system. IT even has a second hand that moves as if it it were the real thing.
