The “Stranger Things 4” watch had already hit the series before: its hidden meaning

There are several details about the fourth season of “Stranger Things”, such as the fact that it was recorded in a Nazi prison. One of the things that has caught the attention of fans is the mysterious clock that appears in all its episodes.

The watch had already appeared in previous seasons of “Stranger Things”

If we are careful and curious, we can notice that the sound of this watch had already appeared in previous seasons of “Stranger Things”. The first time he hit, albeit dimly, was in the first episode of the series, when Will Byers is on his way home and sees and hears something suspicious in the woods.

He also played slightly in the background in Season 3, when Billy, after a car accident, had his first encounter with the horrors of Upside Down.

The concept of the Creel house clock in “Stranger Things 4”

Netflix’s pre-season premiere of the fourth season of “Stranger Things” focused on a grandfather’s watch at Creel’s house.

Now that we’ve seen the episodes of this new season, we could see that it’s a kind of message that Vecna, the villain of the series, gives to his victims before he attacks them.

As Max discovered, Vecna ​​first brings to her targets headaches, nosebleeds and scary visions of a traumatic event from their past. But when he is ready to attack them, he gives them a vision over a grandfather’s watch, which means they have less than a day to live.

When it comes to “Stranger Things” and the Duffer brothers, we can say that nothing is accidental. The same goes for this grandfather’s watch, which has a hidden meaning.

In the real world, when a person dreams of an old clock, it means that he is stuck with his past and that it is difficult for him to adapt to the new situations that life presents to him.

In this sense, the fact that Vecna ​​occupies an old watch in the illusions of its victims has to do with the fact that they are all still stuck with some of the traumas they had in the past.

This would make sense given that both Billi and Will, like the victims of Vecna ​​in Season Four, had traumas to overcome, such as their parents divorcing or abusing one of their parents.

“Stranger Things 4” watch theories

The mystery surrounding this watch has sparked various theories among fans, who believe it could play a key role in Volume 2 of the fourth season of “Stranger Things”.

One of the most commented is that this grandfather’s watch could be a gateway to Upside Down, which Vecna ​​set up after Eleven sent him to this other world.

There is another theory linking “Stranger Things” to “Harry Potter” movies. And it is believed that the grandfather’s watch could be a kind of horcrux for Vecna, like the ones that Lord Voldemort had. This would explain the great connection that Victor Creel’s son had with the watch as a child.

Following the logic shown in “Harry Potter”, it can be said that if this theory were true, Vecna ​​could not have died without destroying the object in which she deposited part of her soul, which would be the clock.

This would mean that Eleven’s friends would have to help her in the fight against Vecna ​​by destroying the watch found at Creel’s house.
