This is a cool way of tho king about the problem.
Nevertheless I wouldn’t switch.* The value of a clock with arms is that you can read it at a glance, while a text (”digital”) clock requires parsing — much slower, especially when you want to compute a relationship (how much time before I have to leave?).
* I like that the author wasn’t actually trying to convince anyone to switch. It’s just a nice exploration.
