A pocket watch with a hurricane in it
A gold pocket watch with a hurricane where the works should be. Keeps time, and weather.
One of the things the Slopwright is known for, with a sea in a sardine tin and an opera in a walnut. In Sloperation it comes in with a raindrop in the works and a loose screw in the weather, and the trick is to move between the ticks. On Clocks a hurricane blows round one and tells the real time. On the wall it is a piece of Fresh slop, and kept weather, which the codex proposes, files it with the rest.
