I've been re-acquainting myself with the site, and the new stuff.
All the watches are as vast and varied as watches from different companies, in our own country.
Some of them from Eleeno(if you read the small print, Tokyoflash is just selling them, many different companies actually make them) for example, are very artisitic and tell the time by overlapping and intersecting colored elipses. Like the solar system and planets rotation paths around the sun. So there is no counting in that one, and While some involve counting, there is vastly too many to simplify any of their operations into one category. Having said that: They ARE watches ya know
Yes counting will be involved
And besides. Our mines purposefully create patterns. You'd probably own a watch like that and in 5 seconds be able to figure out the time by barely glancing.
I do agree that if it takes twenty seconds to count to 12, then maybe something or someone's inefficient
