The once-per-millennium marks are captivating. They feel almost within our understanding, but not quite.

clock of the Long Now!

Like those insane gear ratio videos on YouTube... You know the final gear is turning, logically, but the fact that the Sun will eat the Earth long before the gear completes a single turn lends a strange perspective.

I saw a neat one where they put the last gear in a block of cement while still spinning the first one quite fast.

AI coding tools are quite fun for making different clock concepts.

Here's a one-shot recreation of "Against the Run" (https://listart.mit.edu/art-artists/against-run-2019): https://g.co/gemini/share/c1dcfbd9cf9a

I like the combined blob clock a lot! I plan to make a codepen of it, with just hours, minutes and seconds, to see what that's like.
MrJohz•1h ago
When you're done, I'd love to see it as well, and I'm sure others would - yours was my exact thought when I got to that part!

very cool. reminds me of an old iPhone clock app called "hms" that displayed a rectangular prism, and each dimension (x, y, z) corresponded with the hour, minute and second, so the shape would grow over time before resetting one or more dimensions. it got delisted years ago for some reason but i used to love it as a "nightstand mode" clock.

Nice, very innovative. It makes me think of weird stuff

like

how about a pac-man running around the dial consuming your seconds as you watch? wooka wooka wooka wooka...

Had an idea for physical clock once where there is a chain of 60 links rotating around a central motor that moved the chain so slowly that the top link was showing the correct time within a twelve minute range - five links per hour for a twelve hour clock.

Everyone should redesign the representation of time once in their life :)

There's a lot of Pac-Man watches... most of them not very exciting, but this one [1] might be what you're looking for.

The binary clock reminds me of this real-life one near the Zoo in Berlin

Looks like base-5, but very cool!

Placed my cursor at the top of the hour peak on the 'Peaks' clock. Few moments later, it shifted slightly to the left. Had a bit of existential dread as I saw time slipping away.

Nice clocks though.

Love the binary and wave clocks, instantly got me thinking about how it could work as a subtle graphical element in a landing page footer or something like that.

I love the combined blob!

You're missing the Towers of Hanoi, my personal favorite clock. https://saej.in/post/hanoi/
