This is amazing, I love weird clocks. Another good one is the pin clock. A bit noisy but… cool!

And yes, of course I own a nixie clock… as required by geek law… used to own a classic flip clock as well.

slightly disappointed that it doesn’t move as the time changes. maybe that’s for version 2.0…

No, you have it the wrong way around: as you move the calipers, time itself marches forward or backward in unison.

Makes me think of Superman III weather satellites.

I’m not a fan of digital calipers, or digital clocks for that matter. But I think this is doable with a dial face atomic clock which would also avoid the giant 3D print. I’m totally making it for my classroom.

Came here for this. Knew it would be here.

Totally what I was expecting as well.
