very cool. reminds me of an old iPhone clock app called "hms" that displayed a rectangular prism, and each dimension (x, y, z) corresponded with the hour, minute and second, so the shape would grow over time before resetting one or more dimensions. it got delisted years ago for some reason but i used to love it as a "nightstand mode" clock.

Had an idea for physical clock once where there is a chain of 60 links rotating around a central motor that moved the chain so slowly that the top link was showing the correct time within a twelve minute range - five links per hour for a twelve hour clock.

Everyone should redesign the representation of time once in their life :)
