How To Make Wristwatch Smaller

how to make wristwatch smaller
If a watch is placed on a ground (or rather ice) facing the south pole?

how many revolutions the hour hand over to the stars in one day? Lets ignore the small difference between the sidereal day and solar day.

The hour hand turns' to the right "to 2 rounds per day. It is a rate of 30 degrees per hour (360 in 12 hours) The stars (as seen from the South Pole) seems to turn to left, one revolution per day. This is a rate of 15 degrees per hour in the other direction. If we start the clock as the hour hand points a star, one hour later the angle is 45 degrees. Twenty-four hours later, the total angle will be 24 times 45 = 1080 ° (3 full turns)
