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

      @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.

        @cstross
        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.

            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.

                      @ascii158 @cstross Could. I was thinking multiple clocks executing in synchrony would be more distressing, but both are worth trying.

                        @jmax @ascii158 Also, if it's multiple dials for different time zones, they need to be ordered alphabetically too!
