... that the time is shown in the eyes of the Negress head clock? Source: "The clock shows the time with the hours in Roman numerals in the left eye and the minutes in Arabic numerals in the right eye. The pupils slide back to reveal the time at ten minutes to the hour, and close at two minutes past the hour. They can be reopened by pulling the right earring." ([1], Royal Collection Trust)
