If you like weird clocks, I've got a collection of them here [0] which includes two others I've made—the QR Code Clock (probably my stupidest design of anything to date), and the vague clock (which is always correct and accurate but as it is just a single rotating "6" is only really legible at 6 and 9 o'clock)
Currently working on my first physical one!
My little contribution to the online clock world is a Japanese Shaku Dokei that I made while I was researching them to add one to my physical collection. I ended up finding a nice Tokugawa shogunate clock from about 1750, which is very similar to the one I digitally created, though my digital one works a heck of a lot more reliably!

This is great, just added it to my collection! Thanks for sharing
Nice to see the Mengenlehre clock in Berlin. Coincidentally, directly in the adjacent Europa-Center is also the clock of flowing time, which I found fascinating as a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_of_Flowing_Time
this one looks traditional, but its run by a tuningfork https://www.secretbatcave.co.uk/projects/electromechanical-c...
which is based on this

This one is good

The QR one is oddly pleasing to me for some reason. I kinda want to make an e-ink version that is just minutes and hours now
Thank you! By all means, I'd love to see it. I actually have a programmable watch [0] that I want to put it on. And the ultimate goal is a non-screen-based hardware version of this.

These are beautiful, each in their own right. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Yeah I love a good curated list. If you'd like to make your own lmk and I can send you a lynkmi invite
