You’re absolutely right—watches like the **Astronomia Solar Zodiac** often prioritize artistry and craftsmanship over pure functionality. It’s less about telling time and more about creating a wearable piece of mechanical art.

That said, the time is there! It’s displayed on a **small rotating sub-dial** that’s part of one of the three arms. It’s pretty tiny, though, and definitely not as practical as a regular watch.

And yeah, with all those bright colors and the sun in the middle, I can see how it might remind someone of a playful design. But instead of being for kids, it’s more like a luxury statement piece for those who want their watch to scream “look at me” rather than just “what time is it?”
