Orologio

Ancient Talesians understood the flow of time to be recursive, with some surviving text comparing chronology to a fractal wheel. This concept is reflected in the physical mechanisms of Orologio; if one were to pry open the casing, they would be greeted with a series of ever-shrinking Fibonacci spiral of gears, to which no magnification would find the end of.

In operation, Orologio has three mechanisms of which the user can interact with:

1. On top of the timepiece is a latch button that, when first clicked, will open the face. Subsequent clicks can be executed in tandem with other mechanisms, modifying their function. An observant ear will notice multiple small ticks as the button is compressed, implying not a single input, but a scaled input.
2. Following the frame of the timepiece's face is rotatable dial. When the dial is turned in one direction or another, an unknown but distinctly mechanical alteration will occur to the face, changing to represent different metrics of time. The lowest metric appears to be a base-twelve dissection of the second; the highest metric appears to be an immeasurably large parent metric of the millennia.
3. The back plate of the watch also serves as a dial and can be rotated in both directions. Doing so independently of other inputs will appear to correct the time. However, as Orologio is always precise, it will soon correct itself.
