I had a lot of time on my hands so I spent Sunday afternoon coming up with a bunch of completely impractical ways to visualize clocks.

years ago in Japan daylight and nighttime were each given 12 hours and clocks were made to adhere to this ... throughout the year as summer days grew longer and nighttime shorter their clocks adjusted to make an hour longer or shorter self adjusting
TIL - this is very cool. It looks like somebody actually put together a wari-koma (temporal) watch in 2011 as well.

If you want to look at some old ones the Seiko museum in Tokyo has a few. Entry is free and I can only recommend it.
This is so nice and original! You could easily pitch this to a watch brand to pick up the design and functionality.
Its one of the best UI/UX I have ever experienced. Really cool man.
Thanks for the kind words!
Wow, so cool. Looks amazing. You must really like clocks.
I do! Cogsworth is my spirit animal.
Really neat! Is this built through react?
Thanks! It's actually just mostly vanilla HTML, CSS3, and Tailwind. I used ThreeJS for the solar clock, 3d euclidean clock and the water clock, and MatterJS to handle the physics for the marble based clock.
So cool!
i love the pi clock
Thanks that was a fun one to work on! I initially had it working at the second level HH:MM:SS but the zooming in and out on the canvas every second gave people whiplash.
