Great job, really well done.

Also cool: https://sunclock.net

I enjoy running clocks on this 5" inch circular touch screen IPS display from Waveshare: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C14CZ2GG.

The content is provided by a Raspberry Pi 4, and these Javascript/CSS/SVG clocks can be quite taxing. Especially a smooth running seconds hand often causes visual stuttering. Chrome had the best FPS I recall.

If anyone knows of other large circular displays, please post here.

The new BMW Mini has a gorgeous 24cm circular OLED display, but that's not generally available, OEM only [1][2].

Thank you for your reply. Sunclock looks nice! I miss analog clock on cars, digital clocks are all around. Maybe I'm old because I read analog clock better than digital, somehow it's easier to visualize time from that. Young generation reads and likes digital clocks more. Maybe digital clocksimulator alternative also who knows...
