Even though we seem to stand still, earth is always moving. So in addition to not only showing the time through a wandering hours complication, you can also read on the top left and right slot dials the distance travelled on Earth in 20 minutes as well as the distance travelled by Earth around the sun in 20 minutes. Because why not. If you don’t know how to read the time here: the three hour-arms move clockwise and the most recent hour moves along a 60 minute scale. Once the hour is over the next arm and hour indicator shows the new hour. So in this photo it’s 5:15. The next hour “6” is already arriving in the top right corner. Quite easy to read once you know it.
