Obviously this clock can only be improved by the addition of a language setting. And maybe timezones.

There needs to be a mechanical desk version.The required velocity for second hand movement for a wall version could be excessive.

@cstross give it a fourth hand, and make it a GMT clock!

@cstross I could accept all of this... except for the time zones. That's just evil.

@cstross I think you underestimate the opportunities for improvement. It should drift, possibly by a random amount that differs for each user, so as to require periodic resetting. This would obviously be accomplished by the rotation of a knob that moves the hands. Since the mode for using that knob disengages the drive mechanism from the hands, it should directly move them in a strictly mechanical and purely circular fashion.

Just have French and UTC?A strange clock.
If you shake an old mains clock, that uses a synchronous motor, as you power it up you can sometimes get it to go backwards.

@ddgulledge @cstross Thanks, I hate it.

It also should have a Vetinari Variable Tick cadence, just for some pure audio flair.

@cstross I suspect this is legal grounds for justified manslaughter.
Or maybe even straight up murder.
