all of Earth's history is one day on this watch. set the hand to when it happened.

a pocket watch whose day is 4.54 billion years: guess where life, animals, dinosaurs and we fall on the dial, and watch the hand run on

Squeeze the 4.54 billion years of Earth into one day. The first life is there before 6 am and oxygen fills the air near 11, but animals arrive after 9 pm and the dinosaurs before 11. Our species appears at 23:59:54, and all of writing fits in about the last tenth of a second.

Concepts: deep-time, scale.
