Appleseed is known for it's frequent use of visual motifs, or "set pieces," as director Shinji Aramaki likes to refer to them as. In the first CGI movie, the most prominent motif might have been the glass pendant containing the Bioroid reproductive data, where in the second it's the timepieces the worn by Deunan and Briareos. They're effectively used to signify several emotive meanings throughout the episode, all the while upholding the requisite Appleseed level of mechanical complexity.
