Fuck the numbers though, we know it's just about showing our wealth anyways.

What do the numbers have to do with wealth?

If your town could use a quick reference to the time put a big clock in the center.

Local children and adults without basic life skills might find the numbers useful, but generally their caretakers will manage their daily agenda anyway.

Besides the tower is very pretty right? Who cares about "adults without basic life skills" when you really just want to show everyone your pretty watch

like a baby pretending to be adult

So you're against nice architecture?

Can you loop me in to what this has to do with your inability to understand how clocks work without a tutorial written all over it?

No on the countrery, I just said it was pretty and how nobody should care about the people who prefer numbers since it's all about being pretty anyway and not actually for people and their time keeping

The numbers imply the townsfolk lack the simple skill of reading the time.

It's hardly noticable or something most people notice, the special numerals.

Most people know what roman numerals on, when on a clock, mean.
