Sometimes I will be talking to a student, and be perfectly happy to talk with her until a minute before my next class starts, but I'm uncertain of the time. If I make any visible effort to look at the time, however, she will take it as a sign that I want to immediately end our conversation, so I could use your described device.
While I'm sure you've thought of setting silent alarms on your phone, a slightly less obvious idea would be to get a watch that has a vibrating alarm capability.
Actually, no, Thanks for the suggestion.
Why not look at the time and say that you need to keep an eye on the time for your next class?
I sometimes do this, but the students still get anxious and either leave or ask if they should leave.
Obviously the solution is a smartwatch which pushes retractable needles in a pattern that tells the current time in binary into the skin of your wrist once every minute.
Seem to be part of a standard razorgirl loadout:
