"What a funny watch!" she exclaimed. "It shows the day of the month but doesn't tell the time of day!" Alice found the watch amusing and odd, highlighting its unusual feature.
"Why should it?" the Hatter responded. "Does your watch tell you the year?" Alice agreed that it doesn't, explaining that her watch stays the same year for long periods, similar to the Hatter’s watch, emphasizing the whimsical differences in their perceptions of time in Wonderland.
