I bought a teapot. It’s not a function of a teapot to show time. This one does, though—it has a computer.
It also completely misunderstands how analog clocks work. In a normal clock, the hour hand moves continuously: it starts at the current hour mark, sits halfway between marks at :30, and nearly ... 1/2

... reaches the next one by the end. Normally, a clock like this would read 11:53. But not here! The hour hand stays fixed and only jumps when the time rolls from :59 to :00. So the time displayed here is actually 12:53! Which confuses the hell out of me. The teapot looks great, though. #Clock #Watch #Fellow 2/2
