It announces the time in a clear voice. Fancy at this time.
I found it and took the picture at the international watch museum.
Dammit I had one of those.

Oh no. Im old.
I had this as a kid, had the most obnoxious cockerel sound as an alarm
Museum. Museum! i don’t doubt you (especially given how special they stood it up), but they sell these at the convenience store down the street from me. it’s not a “clear voice”.
The museum display this watch inside a timeline to show you the evolution. It’s actually neat of them to put cheap watches in the general exhibition. You have a broad range from this cheap watch to an old disused atomic clock.
sorry, my tone is a bit harsh tonight. it’s actually a really cool display - i think i’m just getting a little defensive about my age.
i have a friend who goes to flea markets and collects old radium clocks and other stuff that glows his gieger.

It looks like a $5 watch today, but I’m sure back then it cost like $200 because of new technology.
It sells nowadays online for 10-15$.
