Transparency on a mechanic:
"packaging" a system within a form.
By making the inside system more bare the owner of the form becomes more aware of what goes on.
This watch tells two stories:
the time, which is the purpose of the whole system and also the "insider-story" of what tells the time you are looking at. But what value does it add to telling time?
It might make you understand a little more of the complication the watch goes through to tell you the time. By seeing the little metal gadgets inside you notice that the time the watch is showing you that this little device goes through a number of processes (each gear connecting with another) to show you what you see.
The gears, if you were to look them without any result, are just processes to a result. It would be easy to see that they are doing something, but it's hard to figure out what. I've always had passions for inside of mechanics just because they don't tell me anything. It is of course because of my lack of knowledge in mechanics, but I think that is helping me to imagine what it could do.
