If you like weird clocks, I've got a collection of them here [0] which includes two others I've made—the QR Code Clock (probably my stupidest design of anything to date), and the vague clock (which is always correct and accurate but as it is just a single rotating "6" is only really legible at 6 and 9 o'clock) Currently working on my first physical one!

The QR one is oddly pleasing to me for some reason. I kinda want to make an e-ink version that is just minutes and hours now

  Thank you! By all means, I'd love to see it. I actually have a programmable watch [0] that I want to put it on. And the ultimate goal is a non-screen-based hardware version of this. [0] https://watchy.sqfmi.com/ https://watchy.sqfmi.com/

      Ooh wow! I've seen one of these in the Microsoft HQ in Seattle and saw a video about the pom pom one but didn't know it was the same guy. And there's so many! Thank you, this is great.

My little contribution to the online clock world is a Japanese Shaku Dokei that I made while I was researching them to add one to my physical collection. I ended up finding a nice Tokugawa shogunate clock from about 1750, which is very similar to the one I digitally created, though my digital one works a heck of a lot more reliably! https://timebygone.com/ https://timebygone.com/

Nice to see the Mengenlehre clock in Berlin. Coincidentally, directly in the adjacent Europa-Center is also the clock of flowing time, which I found fascinating as a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_of_Flowing_Time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_of_Flowing_Time

this one looks traditional, but its run by a tuningfork https://www.secretbatcave.co.uk/projects/electromechanical-clock/ https://www.secretbatcave.co.uk/projects/electromechanical-c... which is based on this https://hackaday.io/project/177317-tuning-fork-clock https://hackaday.io/project/177317-tuning-fork-clock
