“ One showed the time with three hands—even seconds, as if that mattered. The other was a stormclock, which could be set to wind down to the next projected highstorm. ”
— Dalinar describing Navani's vambrace[1]
A stormclock is a device from Roshar which can be used to tell when a highstorm is due.[1]
Rather than a clock, it's more akin to a timer. The user must wind it up for the amount of time they predict is left until a highstorm.[1] The stormclock then counts down the time and makes a small dinging sound upon finishing.[2] As such, it can be used to count down until other things as well, such as the arrival of the Everstorm.[3]
While regular Rosharan timepieces are fabrials, it's uncertain whether stormclocks are as well or if they work purely mechanically.[4]
While the stormclocks have existed on Roshar for some time, Navani Kholin is the first to create a version small enough to wear on one's wrist.[1] She designes a leather vambrace that combines a stormclock with a regular fabrial clock and a painrial, and gifts it to several people, among them Dalinar and Adrotagia.[1][3]
