In "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," the white rabbit's watch is famously slow, causing him to worry about being late. The watch is believed to be an exaggeration of the slower pace of time in the whimsical world of Wonderland, contributing to the overall theme of time and its perception in the story.

In Lewis Carroll's book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, when Alice first sees the White Rabbit she isn't terribly surprised when she hears it speak but, "when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this." But she is very startled when he takes a watch out of his waistcoat (vest) pocket because "she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it."
