More than anything, I want a circle. I want the idea of the clock to extend to all scales, having a second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, decade, century and millennium hand. I get that there's no m:n mechanical gearing simple machine for this due to the way our calendar system is slightly irregular and the way our years are slightly out of phase with the 360 divisions we like to use at the lower scales. But with an app, there's no complexity needed to put the hands in the right position.
I want my calendar representation to naturally highlight the periodicity of events which occur at fixed intervals. Maybe a spiral such that each 360 degree turn represents 1 week, so all future sundays, mondays, tuesdays etc are just perspective lines leading towards a vanishing point in the infinite future. You scroll through the calendar by zooming in and out. In this quasi 3d view, the months and years are circular rings approximately perpendicular to the viewing plane.
